Lost Design View!
I was not trying to make any changes, but I must have hit some button that has made the problem I will now describe. The "Source" views still look the same (best I can tell), but the "Design" views appear for less than a second, then disappear. I see only a grey screen and the mouse buttons don't work (e.g., right mouse button to view page in the browser is no longer possible). This is for all pages.
What could I have done and/or where do I start looking? Thanks!
PS. I do see a huge vertical side bar that appears new on the Design view. I have scrolled up and down without seeing anything, however.

No idea.... Have you tried restarting Visual Studio?

Imar,
I have tried restarting Visual Studio to no avail. I am now running spyware and will do a cold reboot.

Also, try and see if the problem persists when you create a brand new website. Maybe one of your pages or the Master Page has some funky HTML that Visual Studio can't cope with....
Cheers,
Imar

Imar,
The problem did not occur with a brand new website, so I went back and studied my css file since it occurred when I did not select a master. I found this interesting code at the beginning of the file. Notice the top and left numbers!
Code:
*
{
/*
Defines the main font used throughout the entire site
*/
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif font-size: medium;
margin-left: 5px;
font-size: large;
position: relative;
top: -21512056px;
left: -53870040px;
width: 121px;
}
I have no idea how this happened, but I now have to figure out what was there before. I suppose these negative numbers are putting the design some place I can't see - maybe on the other side of the room!

Ha, yes, or the other side of the town ;-) I think 21512056px is around 1.1 kilometer.... ;-)
You probably want to delete all of them except for the font. There's usually no need to set dimensional properties on the universal selector, unless you're using something like a CSS reset that sets all margins and padding and so on to 0.....
Cheers,
Imar
