I use the WYSIWYG mode of DreamWeaver. I have two pages on the entire site that show any errors using HTML 4.0.1 Transitional and they are because I I have a a Music element inserted one version using embed, the other using object tag. both to have the music controllable with the viewers of the site. As to content and backgrounds that up to personal taste. I even make light use of CSS. http://www.phillipmjones.net. As I add a page I am careful to test using built in tools of DreamWeaver and run through w3c validator. -- Phillip M. Jones, C.E.T.

Maybe sort of... but not really true in the real world. If I had to html *all* the material (like newsletters and temporary flyers, notices of some types) I handle on webpages, it would cost the clients much more than was justified. It is a matter of judgement and "for print" is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition. -- dorayme

Good grief, is this guy a reincarnation of Mark Conrad ?!? -- Wes Groleau A UNIX signature isn't a return address, it's the ASCII equivalent of a black velvet clown painting. It's a rectangle of carets surrounding a quote from a literary giant of weeniedom like Heinlein or Dr. Who. -- Chris Maeda Ha, ha, Dr. ..... Who's Chris Maeda? -- Wes Groleau |
