Preview in html editor

Post by oh »

Hi,
Just download web builder today, and have a question about the previews. I have an xhtml page and a css page, the css page updates as I work and the preview works fine, but when switching to the xhtml page, the update only works sometimes. I have spent hours trying to adjust a heading and paragraph under the heading, using the margin-left. I thought it was me, but I finally changed the margin setting full left, and the page didn't change. I don't understand why it only seems to work every once in a while.
It seems about every 8th or 9th try I can get the line of text to move. Since I am trying to line up this text with a background image, I am only moving a few px at a time.
I am sorry I can't put this in more technical terms.
I am running a new computer, with 2 gig ram, and I also feel this program is running slow, but that could be because it just isn't running right.
Thanks Oh :(
lupdate:
After spending all day using this program, I decided to delete it and start over. I deleted program in control panel, then uploaded the program again. When I opened the program nothing had changed, the files settings where still there as well as the old files. Only my preferences were wiped clean.
I hoped for the best and tried using, but have constant problems with error message when I try to preview, says it can't find the previous file and then gives me about 10 warning boxes before I can say ok. This also happens when I start to type code in the css editor every once in a while. I found I can preview file in html if I save after each change in the html and css. This is not my idea of making things easier.
In the options box, where you can change color of your text, it shows change but never applies change. I had wanted to change color of comment tag. Also scroll bar on preview in split screen doesn't work.
Is there anyone out there that can help me or was this just a waste of money?
