I was able to preview in browser by hitting F12, but when I added a dreamweaver extension for building navigation menues it all of a sudden says that I need to set up a testing server. If I was to have my site hosted would I get a testing page or is hosting just once up and going live. I have been having a hard time building this site. Is there a program that is better than dreamweaver or more user friendly? Doing things in Fireworks and importing is just a pain, I'll have to use cold fusion & flash with it. I am trying to build a very interactive nationwide ag & horse sales site. I will have to have an extensive database & more, not sure if that helps with the previous question about software. I am not opposed to changing if dreamweaver is not the easiest to use. I just need to have a database, list pics, videos, allow people to input a profile, have a forum area, and list advertisements. Any answers and opinions are greatly appreciated. Need some answers ASAP.
