I posted this question in another part of the Warrior Forum, but didn't get any responses. This forum right here gets way more traffic though it seems so someone might be able to answer my question.

I have Dreamweaver 4.0. I know...I know...4.0 is really old!

But, it's what I have and it seems to work O.K. The only reason I'm using it is that I can do CSS with it. I'm just learning CSS and this helps.

Anyway, one question:

Why is it that when I use Dreamweaver and just use their menus to insert Layers and other formatting things I see the result in the "Design" view the way I want but when I use an external style sheet the "Design" view looks all screwed up, or nothing like I want?

If I "Preview In Browser" it looks O.K.

It seems that Dreamweaver, or at least this older version, doesn't like external style sheets....it just likes you to work "inline". I bet I'm wrong though.

Does anyone know how to make the Design view look like it should when you are using an external style sheet to style the HTML code in Dreamweaver 4.0?

Thanks!

    I think that is a weakness in the older versions of dreamweaver. They don't account for the external stylesheets, and you have little choice but to preview in the browser.
