Dreamweaver glitch?

[vation]

Hey guys,
Ive been using dreamweaver for a little white now and I find that many times when using tables, what shows up in dreamweaver is not what shows up in the preview. Like the tables will be slightly off. Of course, when I go back into dreamweaver everything looks fine. Any ideas. Or am i Just losing it. Thanks
Don

Well, this may be due to memory lag while using Dreamweaver, if it displays correctly when you reopen Dreamweaver. Maybe try allocating more memory to the application? Does the page come out the way you want it to despite the display errors?

Im pretty sure that it wasnt a glitch or a lack in memory with my computer. Ill assume that this error is simply with my computer. But yet this error did happen on another computer of mine as well. If you could shed any light ont this that would be great.
Thanks
Don

Alignment of tables in DW is always tricky. What you see is NOT always what you get. I often have to tweak the code a little in notepad. Sometimes I get frustrated trying to make it work the way I want and just do the whole damn thing in notepad

Ditto. Dreamweaver doesn't show tables the same as IE shows them.

Is there any fix to that?

Maybe you have a program language running in the file that has a spare <br> or somthing like that, or a hidden field/somthing that dont show in DW b/c settings are off.

Well, really, your webpage is going to look a little different in every web browser out there - and theres quite a handful of them - best advise, dont worry it too much, and if targeting 1 browser, IE is the way to go. probably 80% of the web uses IE.

First post for me

Anyway, I too have the same proble on occasion. My Fix? Simply minumize then maximize the window, and DW will usually show correctly, or at least as closely as it gets.
