To the top

This is because browsers don’t recognize site roots—servers do.

To preview content linked with root-relative paths, put the file on a remote server, and then select File > Preview In

Browser to view it.

3. Close the page in the browser when you finish testing.

Set browser preview preferences

You can set preferences for the browser to use when previewing a site and define default primary and secondary browsers.

1. Select File > Preview In Browser > Edit Browser List.

2. To add a browser to the list, click the Plus (+) button, complete the Add Browser dialog box, and then click OK.

3. To delete a browser from the list, select the browser, and then click the Minus (-) button.

4. To change settings for a selected browser, click the Edit button, make changes in the Edit Browser dialog box, and then click

OK.

5. Select the Primary Browser or the Secondary Browser option to specify whether the selected browser is the primary or

secondary browser.

F12 (Windows) or Option+F12 (Macintosh) opens the primary browser; Control+F12 (Windows) or Command+F12 (Macintosh)

opens the secondary browser.

6. Select Preview Using Temporary File to create a temporary copy for previewing and server debugging. (Deselect this option if

you want to update the document directly.)

Previewing pages in mobile devices

To preview pages created in Dreamweaver on various mobile devices, use Device Central with its built-in Opera Small-Screen Rendering feature.

Different devices have different browsers installed, but the preview can give a good impression of how content will look and behave on a selected

device.

1. Start Dreamweaver.

2. Open a file.

3. Do one of the following:

Select File > Preview in Browser > Device Central.

On the document window toolbar, click and hold the Preview/Debug In browser button and select Preview In Device

Central.

The file is displayed in the Device Central Emulator tab. To continue testing, double-click the name of a different device in the

Device Sets or Available Deviceslists.
