2 Funny Questions
lol I'm always losing the index.html file of my site. I constantly edit it on both of my computers and I make so many copies of it I can hardly ever find it. Is it bad to just DL the index.html straight from my site using FTP and just edit that?

2nd question. Dreamweaver is being really mean spirited and I don't know if it's lag when it was loading, but it only shows like half my images while I'm editing it, which is irritating. It shows them all working fine when it's being previewed and I know the links are fine so why does it do this? What can I do to tell it to refresh itself so I don't have to look at a bunch of broken image files while I'm editing?

Hi princess,
I'm not sure what you mean about making copies of your index.html file. You can absolutely download it from the site, edit it, and then upload it again. That way you can make sure you're always working from the most current version.

For your Dreamweaver question, F5 should refresh the page you're looking at.

Hope that helps.

If you download your HTML file to edit it, make sure that you do download it and don't upload an outdated previous version (I've done that a few times and lost the original )

Can't you put both your computers on the same network to make it easier?

As for Dreamweaver, the built in browser is pretty rubbish so I just have firefox open and just click refresh each time I want to see my page, but each to their own...
