The HTML/CSS Editor Live Preview is Not Working...
I've been developing a website for a client who insisted that their website be made in Weebly. I'm fluent in HTML, CSS, JS. The code editor was working fine for weeks until a few days ago, I stumbled upon a problem. The live preview is not displaying any code changes that I made in the HTML editor. Usually when I would make a change to the code, the live preview on the bottom of the HTML/CSS editor would refresh and display the updated changes. Now, whenever I make a change the code, the live preview does indeed refresh but nothing changes. It's same version that was present when I opened up the HTML/CSS editor, regardless of which changes I made. But when I save my changes and CLOSE the HTML/CSS editor, the website preview inside the WYSIWYG Weebly drag and drop editor is updated to reflect my code changes. So essentially, the live preview is not "live" with the website version. I've tried reverting to a default Weebly theme. No result. I can try giving the body a 600px margin top and with a blue background and the live preview won't reflect it, but if I close out of the HTML/CSS editor, my changes will be visible on the Weebly preview screen. Aside from trying it out with a default theme, I also completely switched systems. I was using the latest version of Google Chrome on Windows, and now I'm using the latest version on Mac OS. Same result. Any reason this could be popping up? Also--on a side note, I saw in the developer docs that its possible to use an external editor for custom Weebly theme development? I would certainly prefer to do so but given the fact that Weebly themes use Mustache templates populated with user content (that isn't visible on the code), how would I edit this in an external IDE? I understand the Weebly theme exporting process but I fail to grasp how I could create a custom theme in an external IDE without access to Weebly's mustache template content.

I also crossposted to the general community forum, wasn't sure where it was best to post this.
