Design View not showing-Mac OSX

I'm using Dreamweaver 7.0.1 (From Studio MX 2004 package) and for a while now
the when I click on design view or split view the only thing that shows in the
design area is my header and I can't do any editing in that area. I do have
some files that are template files and those work just fine in the design
and/or split view. I just re-installed my MX2004 software and still having the
same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mary

Mary:

Are you using server-side includes on these pages?

If not, can you show me the code on one that gives you this effect?

You have a good number of invalid comment tags in there -



Try changing those to something like this -



(having more than two dashes in a row is invalid within a comment)

and see if that helps.

You also have all your javascript within the body of that page - while
that's messy, I'm sure that's not the problem.

I guess you'd better get a good Dreamweaver book then -

Check these out:

Dreamweaver MX 2004: The Missing Manual - by David Sawyer McFarland
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=books&n=507846

Depending on your technical expertise, the following could become one of
your most useful references -

Dreamweaver MX 2004 Bible - by Joseph Lowery
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=books&n=507846

Dreamweaver MX 2004: The Complete Reference, Second Edition
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=books&n=507846

And finally, you will *definitely* want this one once you get to speed!

Dreamweaver MX 2004 Magic - by Massimo Foti, Angela Buraglia, and Dan Short
(with help from their friends)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=books&n=507846

In addition, I can't praise this one highly enough -

Thanks for the suggestions. I was just thrown into this and didn't know anything about web site production prior to this so I'm learning as I go along.
