I have taken over our school's website and in the server there is a folder that contains my site. In that folder is our site folder and there are 21 'scripts' folders. Our school's server is a 'FirstClass' server so the heirarchy might be different, not sure. When I downloaded the 21 scripts they all copied into one folder and renamed themselves.

I downloaded the site files and I can open the site using a browser fine. When I try and open the site using dreamweaver it opens and the page looks like it is side by side with nothing showing on it.

Would anyone be able to help me? I am desperate!!

I'm not entirely sure what you could mean although I may have an idea.......

Dreamweaver doesn't really show scripts functioning in action or at least I don't think so from my experience.

Whenever I use server sides/scripting on a page I don't see it in designer view - I have to understand what is going on by going to code view.

Also, if it looks messed up in dreamweaver but works fine in your browser then it is likely that it is dreamweaver which is screwing up and not your browser.

On another note; if references to your scripts on your html pages and such use the full url (www.whatever.com/script/script/) instead of relative (/script/script) then you're not going to get a proper view in dreamweaver.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to view the website in its full glory in dreamweaver so you can edit/update it?

You said you downloaded the script folders but they renamed themselves? What program did you use to download? dreamweaver?

Remember, you can't expect scripts to work locally unless you have set up a local server to do so
