The only time I can't get the design tab is when the file your editing isn't saved as a, for example, HTM or PHP or any other file that actually displays in a browser when you double click it.
A lot of templates use include files which are just text files but have either .inc (include) or .tpl (template) as the file extension. Dreamweaver reads these as just plain text files and wont display them in design view.
You could just save as or change the file extension to .htm and then Dreamweaver should let you view it in design view. |
