Designate browsers for previewing

You can define up to 20 browsers for previewing, and you can designate primary and secondary browsers. It’s a good idea to preview your site in the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape Navigator 7.0, and the Macintosh-only Safari browser. In addition to these more popular, graphical browsers, you may want to test your pages in a text-only browser such as Lynx.

  1. Do one of the following to open the Preview In Browser options:

    • Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh), and then select Preview In Browser from the category list on the left.

    • Select File > Preview In Browser > Edit Browser List.

  2. To add a browser to the list, click the Plus (+) button, complete the Add Browser dialog box, and then click OK.
  3. To delete a browser from the list, select the browser, and then click the Minus (-) button.
  4. To change settings for a selected browser, click the Edit button, make changes in the Edit Browser dialog box, and then click OK.
  5. Select Primary Browser or Secondary Browser to specify whether the selected browser is the primary or secondary browser.

    F12 (Windows) or Option+F12 (Macintosh) opens the primary browser; Control+F12 (Windows) or Command+F12 (Macintosh) opens the secondary browser.

  6. Select Preview Using Temporary File to create a temporary copy for previewing and server debugging. Deselect this option to update the document directly.
