Dick, I can't help you with FP, but your comment above had me laughing and
it recalled a recent experience. <G>.
I have a client who has someone in their office working on their site using
Dreamweaver. Recently, while troubleshooting this person's work, I noted
that the text "Prying Open the Gates" wrapped in the middle of the word
"Gates" like this
Prying Open the Ga
tes
I thought that was odd, but figured they had left a blank space in the word
"Gates". However, upon looking at the code, here's what I found:
<p align="right"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font face="Arial,
Helvetica"><font size=3><a href="22.html"><font face="Arial, Helvetica"
size="4"><b>Prying Open the Ga</b></font></a></font></font></font></font><a
href="22.html"><font size="4"><b><font face="Arial,
Helvetica">tes</font></b></font></a><font size="4"><b><font face="Arial,
Helvetica"><br></font></b><font face="Arial, Helvetica"> <font size="3">For
all of Blue Shield's success with its Access plan, not every insurer is
willing to jump on the open access bandwagon.</font></font></font></p>
Holy junk tags Batman! There was so much garbage in there that the browser
just couldn't handle it. So I pruned it down to:
<p align="right"><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><font size="+1"><b><a
href="22.html"> Prying Open the Gates </a></b></font><br>
For all of Blue Shield's success with its Access plan, not every insurer is
willing to jump on the open access bandwagon.</font></p>
and the line break was gone. That's more than a 100% redution in code.
Conclusion: Dreamweaver is junk.
