Dream weaver 8?
Question: i use dream weaver 8,,, but iam unable to veiw my designs in the test browser mode, i did have it working correctly, but since turning my web design into an asp document, i am unable to veiw my work without dream weaver connecting to my web host and up loading , i have been into the preferance and checked that i have selected the primary browser, please can someone help
Answer:
That is normal behaviour. ASP, like PHP is a server-side technology - i.e. you need to have a web server with the asp extensions runnning before a web browser will be able to interpret the data.
Most web designers run a local web server on their own system for the purpose.
Yup. Thats your problem. You need to assign a localhost on your system , normally http://localhost/dir/dir/page or something like that depending on where your stuff is. You need a local host to act as the server otherwise your pages wont display. An ASP page itself doesnt really contain anything other than code (although you can put HTML on it) and so without your server, it cant execute and therefore cant display anything.
