DREAMWEAVER MX IS THE WORST PIECE OF CRAP EVER!!!!!! :evil: phew, glad to get that out. But seriously, I go to insert html form tags over multiple rows and the dreamweaver display gets all messed up and it says I have "unclosed tags". But when I preview it in the web browser, it looks perfectly fine. AND the template system is crap, too. I want to make a table whose legnth will vary from page to page, but when I try to move stuipid dreamweavers <--!BeginTemplate--> tags before and after the <table></table>, not only does the display get messed up but the templeate LOSSES ITS QUALITY OF BEING A TEMPLATE!!! (did that make sense?) Quite frankly, Im getting pretty sick of it. What does everybody else use to create their web sites (not just to code php, but to completly build their site and do php)? If there is anything that works better than dreamweaver, plase tell me. Or tell me if I'm just not using dreamweaver right.

Thanks.

sounds like you've evolved beyond using a WYSIWYG editor. Congratulations. .. seriously. :)

How much better than dwmx would you say it is (as in, is WYSIWYG really WYSIWYG, does it crash often, bugs, erros, ect)?


Ha, so I see dreamweaver has made more people than me mad. :) Anyone else have any suggestions?

why do you have to use a WYSIWYG editor? Why not simply notepad? or something else? It's only HTML, i mean come on!

there comes a time in a man's life when notepad is just not enough :P

or maybe you can tell the designers to stop useing the WYSIWYG editors and start useing notepad?

I use a WYSIWYG editor because it saves a lot of time. If I start to use notepad it could take hours to complete one complex page.

Ya, but would you rather spend 20 extra minutes coding, or 45 extra minutes trying to fix the things dreamweaver screwed up?
