When I go to preview my page in Dreamweaver with IE (F12) it just shows the HTML code instead of the actual functioning page. I am using Norton's Internet Security but disabled it and still nothing. Does anyone know why this is happening? Dreamweaver CS3 was installed as part of the Creative Suite.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you don't have IE installed?

I don't think any html program can preview from any browser without having the actual browser installed.

If IE is not installed it will not show up in your browser list under "preview in". Good luck. :)

try deleting all the browsers that DW sees and adding them back. I have found this has helped from time to time.

It sounds like you are missing a closing tag, is your main file a .htm?

Make sure your basic html looks like this.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Page Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Ok....thanks for all the feedback....turns out that my html and htm pages show just fine in IE....I was trying to view an .asp page and this is the one that is just showing me code. Is that normal for preveiwing .asp pages in IE......here's the kicker.....the .asp page shows up just fine in Safari?? To be 100% honest a dialogue box appeared the first time I tried viewing the .asp page in IE and I breezed through it without paying much attention....it may had something to do with the new IE7 but now, I am ashamed to say, I am not sure.....and wished I had paid attention....Any suggestions?

Maybe you can reset initala settings to trigger the pop up again?
