6,078 PointsView CSS in Dreamweaver Issue
I finished up the php project with Randy Hoyt, and I have now moved on to css. In the php project, we created a config file that included the BASE_URL and ROOT_PATH of our site so that we could clean the URLs by moving them into folders while still referencing the correct paths on our testing vs. final sites.
My question is: Since we changed all of our references to include the base or root url variables, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes my css sheet on the production side. Until I publish the site, I cannot see the effect of changes to my css, which is time consuming. Do you, Randy, or anyone else, have a method to keep the url reference variables, but still view the css changes in Dreamweaver without publishing the site?

Treehouse Guest TeacherIt's been a while since I've used Dreamweaver, but I'm almost certain you can specify a local and a remote web address for the site that you can use for Preview. You can view the site at [http://localhost/] in a browser, right?

6,078 PointsI see what you're saying. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks Randy.
Also, you're videos are by far the best I've watched so far. Thanks for doing this.
