I've just upgraded from Dreamweaver MX to CS3 and CS3 cannot load any page
created in MX properly. The pages come up blank, tables are empty, pages are
thousands of characters wide, etc. If I view the pages in Firefox, they look
fine, I just can't use CS3 to manipulate them at all. Is there some trick to
making them compatible?

!

I have never seen this happen except on pages with mangled code
(unfortunately DMX had no notion of either best practice or standard code).
Do these pages validate when you take them to the W3C page -

http://validator.w3.org?

Yes, they validate alright and like I said, if you view them through Firefox or
IE, they look just fine. Is it possible there's something wrong with
Dreamweaver? I use tables extensively and they seem to be screwed up. In
fact, I tried to make a new document with tables and it couldn't render the
tables properly (I set up a 20x2 table and it made a very tall 1x2 table).
This is an issue with both CS3 and MX so maybe it's an issue in Windows?

Browsers are incredibly forgiving. DW is not. That's how it should be.
Let's see one of these pages, please.

It's extremely unlikely.

I'm betting dollars to KrispyKreme donuts it's an operator problem.

You can bet whatever you'd like, these are pages that yesterday, worked fine in
DMX. After a complete reinstall of Windows and DMX and DC3, they don't work.
There's no "operator" anything involved, it's loading the pages off the hard
drive.

We'll never know, will we? Talking about code is not the same as looking at
it. Let's see yours.
