I'm curious why is the live view so different from the regular view? Is there some preference to be changed.

Is it a sys. problem? I have a student version?

If you are referring to the Dreamweaver Preview pane, don't use it because it will never render like a normal browser. Instead you should always check/view your work via Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Safari.

Okay, thanks Eddie.

I have another question.

I have a dropdown menu. I have spaced out the ul so it spans the width of the page, it throws off my drop downs.

I don't see were I have control of the drop downs.

Is there a better way to do that?

 

thanks for the response
