Default Page doesn't show in Design view - 11-03-2005 , 03:01 PM






I went to view > source and copied/pasted the html code from a website into
Dreamweaver. Although the page looks correct when previewed in a web browser,
in shows up all black in design view. the only thing visible is this text
highlighted in yellow:

</td>
</tr>

If I copy/paste the html code from any other website, the design view shows up
normally. The problem is only with the pages on this particular site:
http://www.obviate.us
what is the problem and how do I fix this??

i don't see where the mistake was - would you be able to highlight it to show
me?

i copied the new code into Dreamweaver - although it appears in design view,
now most of the page content is missing. only the header bar and some of the
links appear when i preview it in a browser.

More likely that it's an issue with the badly hosed HTML markup in the
page. See: http://tinyurl.com/asga9
