Dreamweaver is highlighting placed or positioned objects in the web page. Either that or you've found a way to invert the colors.

By highlighting do you mean that I have it selected? I haven't been messing around with any of the preferences. – Aznfin Feb 13 '10 at 12:11
I mean that Dreamweaver will put visual "placeholder" objects on screen for hidden objects, and sometimes it will either shade or outline other objects like images, links, positioned divs. Part of the reason I don't use Dreamweaver for web development. – Josh K Feb 13 '10 at 15:46
Do you know any good alternatives to Dreamweaver that you use? – Aznfin Feb 13 '10 at 18:47

Dreamweaver is useful for visual editing, but the visual output is not accurate. It's better to use a web browser to make sure.

It was working perfectly fine before. I usually preview my work in the browser when I'm done. – Aznfin Feb 13 '10 at 18:46
The browser, or all the browsers? – Rich Bradshaw Oct 26 '11 at 6:23
