Scott, I think the reaction may have been a bit over the top. However, your comment immediately after that of, "I have no earthly idea where even to start without dreamweaver holding my hand" may have been the red flag for them. Not that you said that, but they might have gleaned as much.
I love Dreamweaver. Absolutely love it. However, I work mostly in code view. I like the site management tools and immediate validation/checking tools built into it. (The later catches most all of my stuff, before I have to go through a "publish and then validate at W3C" cycle.) Regardless, Dreamweaver is just one of the tools in my arsenal. It is the main one, but I also use TopStyle, CSE HTML Validator, and even HomeSite 5.5+. I also use the Firebug and Web Developer add-ons for Firefox. As Tim said, the end result is the coding. And, FWIW, as good as Dreamweaver's coding might be, CSS (and JavaScript and server-side) coding done by hand is typically much cleaner, leaner, and "sticks in your braind". Also, given the response from the prospective employer, would you really want to work there anyway? ...Rob ____________________________________ Rob Emenecker @ Hairy Dog Digital www.hairydogdigital.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
