I figured out how to get the css styles to show. I had to give the full link to the stylesheets and it worked flawlessly. Not ideal but it is what it is.

I am having the same problem with my css not being applied to the preview. Really looking forward to this addon but at this point it is useless. Any help would be great!

I have a normal HTML file with CSS linked using

CSS changes are not rendered, am I overlooking something?

I’d be interested in live preview using an arbitrary user-specified Web address: just reload the page whenever the document is saved. It’s a little thing, but would save me time when I’m editing a code file whose name has nothing to do with the URL.

Your plugin works great! Only one thing goes wrong. In all my projects I define my css documents, images and all that stuff directly from the root by starting with “/”.
I saw “JA” had the same problem. It looks like some stuff doesn’t get loaded this way.

Is there a solution for this?

I just split the window horizontally, select the bottom half, and hit ‘preview’. Live preview in the same window you’re editing in.

Trick is, the preview pane wants to update itself as you type, so as you type the focus is stolen from the top to the bottom pane. I haven’t figured out how to get around that yet.

Pardon my confusion, but I don’t know why this is an issue. For as long as I can recall, you’ve been able to spawn a new Coda window (File: New Window). Granted it’s a bit cumbersome as you then have to manually open the desired file in the second window, but once done you can switch the window to preview mode and have all the live preview and DOM inspector benefits.

BIG thanks! For some reason on a local site I’m testing, it’s not loading the CSS even though Coda’s preview mode is, but this is still a huge help.

Thanks again, Rob!

Any chance Lively will be updated to support local servers? The latest Coda plugin API allows you to get the local URL now.
