I've found that a big problem using Dreamweaver or other HTML design software is in styling links, as the software seem to like to apply styles outside of an <a> tag using a <span> or some such rather than applying it to the tag itself. This is an inherent problem related to <a> tags as browsers have a built in style for links that overrides any style applied outside of the tag. I frequently have to go in and tweak a lot of code related to link tags when I forget this about Dreamweaver. The problem doesn't exist, for instance, when the software uses a <span> to apply a style around a <p> tag, unless a style has already been applied to the <p> tag. The it took me a while to develop an eye for "seeing" issues affected by the cascading aspect of CSS in situations lie this. It always comes up with <a> tags because of their default "style". --Kenoli ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
