I really wonder if you've ever used it! It's certainly not just a "quick design tool" as you put it (and actually, imho, it's not that great a design tool if the HTML that comes out of it is anything to go by!). I will not say it's perfect (because it's not), but as a tool for building websites, it works really really well. Why do you think that DWMX comes out in the top 3 (if not top) of all design tools for building websites (and I do realise that I said "design")? Is it because it's JUST a "quick design tool" or do you think... You know, just maybe... That it's a bit more than that? I do think it's a bit stupid to say that you just use Notepad or CFStudio to do everything and then slag off DWMX for "Not being like CFStudio". IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE THE SAME AS CFSTUDIO! It is meant to be DWMX, allowing for the fact that real developers need to use it, and if you use it the way they suggest, then it works just fine! Paul PS Where you get the idea it's not a Rapid development tool, I have no idea! No-one ever said that Rapid Development Tools produced good code. They just produced rapid code. -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
