Hi

For some reason i can no longer preview templates in my browser (IE 6.0.26) by pressing F12, when I do it brings up the download dialogue box asking me if i want to download the file.
Everything worked fine till yesterday then for no apparent reason it's doing this.
Any ideas???

This gets weirder!

If I open a template from one of my other sites and press F12 then it previews it perfectly!!!
Still doesn't do it from this one site tho.
Both are set up exactly the same both on my development machine in UD4 and on my server machine in IIS 5.1.

Weird

Sorted it!

The template that wouldn't preview contains dynamic data and IIS does not recognise the .dwt extension so cannot serve the page.
To get round this I have created a page (template.asp) which is an exact copy of the template, so now i edit the template and update template.asp and preview that.
