Can't Preview CSS Stylesheet

[CaliforniaJerry]

It seems to be folder dependent, but in a particular way.

I'm using WeBuilder 9.5.2.106

If my style.css file is in the folder for Project 1, and I open it in WeBuilder, I CAN view it in the Preview Pane. If it's in another folder for Project 2, I CANNOT Preview it. Same file copied to both folders.

The folder that doesn't work is under one that has a .com extension in the name and __Wordpress below that.

Code: Select all

../folder.com/__Wordpress/style.css

When I remove one underscore, as in the following, however, it works...

Code: Select all

../folder.com/_Wordpress/style.css

Or, when I remove the .com extension, it also works...

Code: Select all

../folder/__Wordpress/style.css

(I consider this resolved since I can work with it; however, perhaps it will be useful to your developers, Karlis.)

Does this happen with IE preview mode or with FireFox mode also? What happens when you use external preview (F2)?

I am asking because there is nothing that should prevent the preview from showing as it is not project-related feature.

[CaliforniaJerry]

I also believe it was not project related. Now, however, I cannot seem to recreate the problem. This was an issue with the "Internal" preview, by the way; I didn't test external preview.

"Options > Preferences > Browsers" was set to the default, which was "Associated." Not sure what that means.

I might be getting the wrong end of the stick here, but using underscores and periods in folder names is not good practice; in fact many third-party Windows-based controls (that programmers sometimes buy/license for their own software) will not like seeing weird characters in folder names and will gag on them. While later Windows operating systems allow this to be done, in general it should be avoided for backward compatibility.
