Was wondering if anyone here could help me with some directions on how to set up Expression Web 4 to work with Viart 4.0? I realize that full functionality is probably not going to be achieved, however I would like to be able to test out fully.
Thanks!

I currently use Expression Web 4, but if you're not familiar with Expression, then it might be difficult for you to use with ViArt. I modify ALL of my CSS stylesheets with Expression as well as templates.

Im familiar with Expression Web 4, but just not sure of the proper way to set up the built in server testing of Expression. Currently I run EasyPHP to emulate a local server, but would like to be able to edit a template in Expression and see the additional templates being called by the PHP includes.
An example being the Product Detail template. I would like to be able to view and edit the full design of the template with the proper includes.

Yes, you just have to navigate to 'Sites > Manage Site List'

That would be all?
I am quite familiar with the Manage Site List feature, but just not seeing the PHP includes when viewing a template in the design mode.... Is there a setting or something I am missing in my configuration of Expression Web 4 that will not bring in the templates being called in PHP includes...I can do this fairly easy in Dreamweaver though.

The includes fil (for most of the case) are all encrypted in ViArt v4.0.x. So you will not be able to see these. However, I'm setting up a new server this weekend, and will jot down my steps and send them to you.

That would be very cool of you, thank you.
Also, I think I found the primary problem I was having. In Design mode, If I have a CSS sheet linked to the current Viart templlate (like products detail) then the tabs portion (for additional images, and product description, reviews) can not be viewed in design mode.
Un-linking the sheet displayed the entire page in design mode, but without the CSS no way to see my design work.
