18,757 PointsHi .. somehow, it doesn't work. I am using dreamweaver and MAMP. Could it be, that I have to set up Dreamweaver for php?
Do you have a manual or video for the right installment of dreamweaver / MAMP? Many thanks in advance. Markus

18,757 PointsHi Thomas .. Thanks a lot for your quick response. I think I made two mistakes. At first, I copied the wrong css.file. So now I copied the right one, and suddenly it works, jep :-) In Dreamweaver somehow I still can't see it in live-preview. Therefore I need to configure the site-definition. I'm working on that one now. Of course, that hasn't necessarily to do with the courses but do you know a resource, where I could find out how the configuration works best? Or can you explain to me? Br, Markus

Both Dreamweaver and MAMP are set up for php already :-)
What are you having trouble with? Can you post your code?
Markus Rock
18,757 PointsAlright. I've tested in all browsers, and everywhere it shows how it should be. Cool. I'm really glad now. So I can focus on learning the code and take a look at dreamweaver config., if somewhen necessary, later. Thanks a lot Tom, you helped me saving a lot o time. Hope to stay in contact :-) Br, M.

If I were you.. I wouldn't use the live preview inside Dreamweaver - I would use a browser instead. I also edit in Dreamweaver and run locally in firefox (testing across all browsers ofcourse!). From experience the live preview is slow and doesn't always render the page properly but you may have different results!
If you want to use Dreamweaver live preview locally, this video might help (it's for cs5, but must be similar in later versions) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZKfcUsO0WA
It honestly doesn't matter what setup you have, as long as it fits your work flow ;)
