I started out web designing using Dreamweaver. I didnt know how to code anything by hand and I didnt know the importance of doing so. My first site about a year ago was all tables. DW renders those fine in design view. But, then I learned about using css for layout and not just for styling text, forms, imges, etc. DW renders all that pretty much fine. Using advanced css for positioning/floats DW04 doesnt really do a great job. Not a horrible job but not perfect. You just have to preview in browser (ctrl/cmd F12). I still use DWmx04 but I mostly write my own code and use either just code view or split it into code and design view. Now, I'm learning how to code everything by hand. Much more reliable this way. I like DW if I want to add a link to something I can just highlight it in design view and add the link in the property inspector. Easier than having to type those out every time. And, there are other times DW design view works. It's a lot better to code everything by hand though. -David Francois Jordaan wrote: >Naturally we wouldn't dream of constructing CSS-based layouts in anything >but a text editor, but a client would like to use Dreamweaver templates to >maintain their site.
