I'm hoping one of you experts out there can help out an intermediate user...
I've just started playing with ASP Javascript in my Web designs. I installed IIS on my Win2000 laptop so that I could test things out locally.
Here's my problem... I set up a blank page, insert a table with 3 columns and 1 row, then insert my ASP *include* (<!--#include file="header.htm" -->) to point to an HTML file that will be updated somewhat regularly. I then insert 2 other includes for 2 other HMTL files. Hit preview in IE and it does what it is supposed to, returning an ASP page with all 3 includes. But when I go back into Dreamweaver, it somehow hijacks the design view page, displaying only the first HTML include file. I can't scroll to see the other includes eventhough they exist in the actual code. If I click on them in the code view, I still don't see the graphical representation in design view. I tried clicking the Live Data View button, but I get an error that suggests maybe my server is not running, but since I could preview my page correctly, I would think that it is. The second error suggestion says that my server might ignore files with the asp extension, but since the preview works fine and I can see the *first* include in design view, this doesn't seem right. The 3rd error suggestion says that my page might not have any scripts, but obviously it does.
I'm wondering if there is some kind of extension that I need to install that will let me have a normal graphical design view? Or is there something else that I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!
