- Fixed-position elements in Super Preview
Content with CSS fixed positioning may appear in several places in the SuperPreview
display.

- Flash and ActiveX objects in SuperPreview
Because SuperPreview does not render Flash, ActiveX, or other object content, a
region that contains an object may not be displayed at the same size as it would
be displayed in a browser (depending on the underlying HTML and CSS). Set width
and height dimensions (in pixels) for each DIV tag that contains an object tag to
help mitigate this problem.

- Script-triggered layout changes in SuperPreview
Layout changes triggered by asynchronous JavaScript or other Ajax content may not
render in SuperPreview.

- Firefox uses default settings in SuperPreview
Firefox browser views in SuperPreview are displayed with Firefox default installation
settings, regardless of user-customized settings.
Back to Top
- Login-controlled pages in SuperPreview
SuperPreview does not prompt users for login credentials and so cannot access pages
that require authentication, such as those controlled by an .htaccess file.
Back to Top
- Right-to-left language rendering in SuperPreview
Pages that are encoded in HTML to use a right-to-left language may not display correctly
in SuperPreview, particularly in a Firefox browser display. You may be able to improve
the display of these pages by choosing a larger Browser Size.
Back to Top
- Selectable elements in SuperPreview
Children of an HTML element with CSS overflow property set to hidden, auto, or scroll
may be selectable in the SuperPreview browser view, even though they may not be
visible in the rendered page.
Back to Top
- Framesets in SuperPreview
HTML elements inside frameset pages are not selectable in SuperPreview or visible
in the DOM tree. Open the frameset pages individually to display them in SuperPreview.
Back to Top
- Timed meta redirects in SuperPreview
SuperPreview does not follow meta redirects that have a time interval greater than
0. Instead, navigate directly to the desired page with SuperPreview.
Back to Top
- Style attributes in SuperPreview
Style attribute information in the DOM tree may vary between browsers. Because of
differences in the way that Firefox and Internet Explorer process web pages, SuperPreview
may report different representations of style attributes in the DOM trees of each.
Back to Top
- Element display size for quirks-mode pages in SuperPreview
Quirks-mode pages may display the body and html element height and width incorrectly
in SuperPreview. Elements inside these tags are unaffected.
Back to Top
- Security certificate errors in SuperPreview
Pages that display security certificate errors in a browser will not display correctly
in SuperPreview.
Back to Top
- Cookie behavior in SuperPreview
Cookie behavior is inconsistent between browsers. Because SuperPreview relies on
locally installed browsers, it will sometimes read and write local browser cookies.
Back to Top
- Visited link display in SuperPreview
Some links for Internet Explorer may display as "visited" in SuperPreview, depending
on the user's Internet Explorer browser history.
Back to Top
- Scrollbar display in SuperPreview
Scrollbars may not be displayed in some SuperPreview browser views for pages with
frames, iframes, or other large, scrollable regions.
Back to Top
- Too many connections over FTP
When the number of simultaneous FTP, SFTP, or FTPS connections exceeds the connection
limit imposed by the server, Expression Web may display the error message "Too many
connections from this IP." If this error occurs, click Publishing Settings,
and then click Site Settings. Click the Publishing
tab, and then click Edit to display the Connection Settings
dialog box for the publishing destination. Set Maximum simultaneous connections
to 1.

- Deep Zoom content in pages that contain the Mark of the Web
If the Mark of the Web comment is inserted in a page and then the page is opened
in Internet Explorer, Deep Zoom content does not function.
Back to Top
- Photoshop images with spot color or alpha channels
Expression Web does not import alpha channels or spot color channels from a Photoshop
image. Alpha and spot color channels are not displayed in the Import Adobe Photoshop
File dialog box and are not visible in the imported image. No error
message is displayed.
Back to Top
- Importing Silverlight video on 64-bit Windows
Expression Web will not import Silverlight video on 64-bit versions of Windows XP
or Windows Server 2003 unless Window Media 11 SDK is installed. To correct this
problem, download and install the Windows Media Format 11 SDK.
This problem does not occur on 32-bit versions of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003,
or on 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows
7.

- Drag and drop from remote sites
In the Pulishing view, drag and drop from a remote site to the local site does not
work.
Back to Top
- Root-relative links in SuperPreview and Snapshot
By default, pages that reference images or other content through root-relative links
will not display correctly in Snapshot or SuperPreview. To correct this, on the
Site menu, click Site Settings. Click the
Preview tab. Check Use Microsoft Expression Development Server
and select For all web pages. These settings must be configured
for each site that uses root-reltaive links.
Back to Top
- Copy and paste between sites
If text is copied from a page in one site, closing the site, opening another site,
and pasting the text does not work.
Back to Top
- Page corruption with Dynamic Web Templates
Applying a Dynamic Web Template to existing pages can alter the layout of the existing
elements on the page and can generate anomalous markup.
Back to Top
- Image scaling with high-DPI display settings
Images are not correctly scaled in SuperPreview when Windows is configured to use
custom DPI display settings. Because Firefox and Internet Explorer scale images
differently, the same image will be displayed at different sizes when Firefox and
Internet Explorer are selected for the browsers views.
Back to Top
- Working on a file under source control without opening the containing
site
Source control functionality is not available for a file that belongs to a site
under source control unless the site is opened first. To restore correct source
control functionality, close and restart Expression Web, open the site from source
control, and then open the file.
