If I understand the original question, this is not really all of the answer. I too work with the occasional client who uses Dreamweaver (in design mode) to edit the content of their site. They do this because they have trouble figuring out where they are in code view. Even when using DW templates and locking down all code but editable areas, they are still unsure what is going on. They definitely understand that the page will look fine when viewed using a browser, but that's not the issue. The issue, if I'm reading correctly, is that, in this particular case, elements render so poorly in DW that it makes editing the content impossible.
Like Jana said earlier...I have not had a case where the rendering in DW design view was so bad that elements were overlapping, or otherwise rendered so out of place that editing in design view was impossible. Be sure to test it out in plenty of other browsers and be prepared to modify your code a bit. Cheers, Tim bj wrote: > Dreamweaver design view is NOT a browser.
