Peeps, I learnt HTML with Dreamweaver v2 but moved up to a text editor (Textpad). This only changed recently when I bought a Powerbook. I needed an interface that was basically the same on Mac and PC. Sadly, that meant reverting to Dreamweaver 2004 MX code view.
Six months now and I'm still only getting used to it. mike 2k:)2 -----Original Message----- From: Neerav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 July 2004 12:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WSG] hand coding versus code generators Simon Hand coding and Dreamweaver dont need to be thought of as separate, I hand code, sometimes in a fancy text editor, sometimes in Dreamweaver MX 2004's Code/Split View depending on the type of work. Previously I wouldnt have bothered with Dreamweaver but as of this latest version it can be set to generate pure XHTML so im happy with it -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development & IT consultancy Mobile: +61 (0)403 8000 27 http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav simon @ london web mill wrote: > Im a new boy to the discussion group.
