Bug in Dreamweaver

this is the page i made in dreamweaver... the image is ok it BROWSERS...

as far as I am aware, live view is there to show you a live view of your
site.. to which, its not showing me a true live view.. this is the problem

I see no relevance to it being 100% coded because as you can see, if I were to
put that online publicly ( obviously once the text is sorted ).. there would be
no difference, with exception of the links and search

if you like, I can post up a screenshot of dreamweaver, with this site on and
'show' you the problem, but all you will see is what you have already seen, and
that is that the header is missing... meaning its not a true representation of
what would be published.

Sorry - a screenshot won't do it.

As I have said, I am not aware of any such problem with DW's Live view.
Further, my personal use of DW has not revealed any similar problem.

Please show us your page as a live url, we can download it, and see what
it looks like in our live view. There is a lot we can tell from the code
alone.

sorry to sound impermanent, but that don't mean that it does not exist

I can only presume that the programme reads the code like any other browser,
and if that's the case then it relies on the code to create the view...

depending on the code, depends on how the site is rendered and if that's the
case, you cant ever get exact browser quirks unless the code is exact

that is why you release a beta first, to try to test for problems by as many
people as possible to cover as many situations as possible..

I believe I have found another problem and the reason I posted here is to
report it

what you do with the info is up to you, sorry, but I am thinking about buying
this software simply for some of its features ( a little easier than notepad )
and if I dont get a true representation whilst I am coding in php for example,
then its pointless for me to use.

Of course, to fix a bug, one has to be able to reproduce it. I cannot.
Now - that doesn't mean it's not a bug, but it does mean it cannot be
systematically investigated until such time as a set of reliable steps can
be developed. Given the common usage which is being reported to trigger
this observation, and the absence of any confirmation through the testing
and subsequent heavy use of CS4, I am not optimistic that it will be shown
to be anything other than operator error. But - who knows?

This is a user-to-user forum. If you think you have found a genuine bug in
Dreamweaver, report it directly to Adobe using the official bug report
form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

It is possible that you have found a bug in DW. It is also possible
that there is a bug in your code.

I can only presume that the programme reads the code like any
other browser, and if that's the case then it relies on the code
to create the view...

True in that it reads the code to create the view, but there is more
than just a simple browser at work here.

depending on the code, depends on how the site is rendered and if
that's the
case, you cant ever get exact browser quirks unless the code is
exact

that is why you release a beta first, to try to test for problems
by as many
people as possible to cover as many situations as possible..

They did. Well, you can't cover all situations, but during the Beta
phase, they try to cover as many situations as feasible.

I believe I have found another problem and the reason I posted
here is to report it

As said, this is a user-to-user forum. People have been trying to
help you determine whether you have found a bug in DW or not.

what you do with the info is up to you, sorry, but I am thinking

But you are refusing to provide enough information to troubleshoot.

Elsethread, you said:

as I said, its not a browser problem and its not a coding
problem, so it leaves me to conclude that its a dreamweaver
problem... not rendering it properly in 'live view'

You have not proven any of the above with the information you've
provided here, but if you are confident of your conclusion, we would
appreciate your reporting it to Adobe as Dave suggested. Even if you
don't choose to purchase the software.

Of course, they will need all of the information you've refused to
provide here, so it is up to you.

about buying
this software simply for some of its features ( a little easier
than notepad ) and if I dont get a true representation whilst I am
coding in php for example, then its pointless for me to use.

I'm not sure what you mean by true representation whilst coding in PHP,
but many of us code use PHP. DW does not have a built-in Web server and
PHP interpreter, if that is what you mean.

Are you using a Web server configured for PHP? I don't have CS4's Live
View, but does it utilize the testing server, or does it view the files
from the local file system? If it uses the local file system, then it
wouldn't surprise me that it doesn't interpret PHP.
