Dreamweaver Previews a Blank!

File does not load in browser! What is wrong?

Hi,

Just today, I spent around 4 hours modifying a website in DW. It consists of 3 nested tables and some css (non-java rollover nav bar). It looked pretty good in the design view, and I thought I was done for the day. So I previewed it in Opera. To my surprise and dismay, the page that appeared was completely blank.

I could see the title of the website displated at the top of the page, but there was no content at all. To double check this, I browsed on my local HD for the specific html file, and this time opened it with IE. Again, it is completely blank! When I view the source, I see all of my code, but the page is just a blank white screen. What is wrong?

I am pressed for time so please take the time to read over it and give me some input. Your help is much appreciated.

Here is the xhtml source:

html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Your first line

html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

appears to be missing the < at the beginning, this would produce a blank page.

I copied your code, added the < and everything appears fine to me.

The < was a error im my copying the source (sorry it was so long). I just tried it in DW and it still will not show up in my browser.

I received your pm with the url, and viewed the source code and came up with one of your meta tags not having the ending " /> to close it. Fix that and see if it helps.

I sent a reply PM, I think ;) ... new to PM's on here.

Yeah, that was pretty wierd, I wonder why the meta was not closed. However, it is still not working.

Does anybody else have any ideas as to why I am getting a blank page!

Alright, I think it is a css bug. When I took off the css, the page worked, though it looked hideous. After I put the css on..it shows up as blank.

Fixed.

So was it a problem with the css?
