CSS preview not updating

Hi All,

I just updated to DW 8.x and my pages show the css formats applied, but if I
change the style it does not update.

My styles show up in the style window on the right, but for example;

If I change a line from the body copy to the largest header, it will not
reflect the change on screen.

Anyone seen this before.

Thanks

Don

If you're previewing using temp files, Dreamweaver writes the styles
into the temp file. So, if all you're doing is hitting refresh in your
browser, you'll still see the styles that were in effect when you first
previewed. If you generate a new preview in Dreamweaver by hitting F12,
you should see the new styles.

I apppreciate the help, but I figured it out.

I was not using temp files, hate this feature.

In the older dreamweaver, you could just highlight the text and click on the
style in the right window, now you must right click and choose apply.

Thanks,

Don
