Back in the days of table-based layouts, first drafting a layout in Dreamweaver was the best use of that program I know. I'd put image slices in a table in their right places and add rows and columns as needed, do colspans and rowspans as needed, set widths and other attributes as needed then collapse the borders, spacing, and padding to nothing and hand edit the code from there on.
Dreamweaver was also early on one of the better tools available to manage CSS and entire sites, as well as it's xhtml-checking abilities. It was also a good way to crank out a whole bunch of form elements in a couple seconds and then hand-tweak each one as needed. But it's been several years since I used Dreamweaver for development. Cake does make it somewhat useless. I still would turn to Dreamweaver as a good tool for producing quick IA mockups for a client though. chris On Nov 19, 3:51 pm, aranworld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't worry, this is not another post asking how to open .ctp files in > Dreamweaver... > > My question is directed at anyone who might have worked on a CakePHP > project in Dreamweaver ... or, is this even possible? > > So many of my template files are filled with calls to the html helper, > that I have to imagine they would be meaningless to Dreamweaver.
