Frontpage is better than dreamweaver...

    ...for designing html newsletters. Due to most mail browsers limited capacity for displaying css properly, frontpage serves me much better.

    What I would really like to do though, is turn css off in dreamweaver. How can i do this? And no span classes etc.

    Thanks

    Well, number 1 frontpage doesn't even exist anymore. it's been EOL from microsoft.

    number 2. it has HORRIBLE code placement and standards acceptance. The code that FP put out was not bad, it was awful unless you had really tweaked it, then manually corrected the multitudes of mistakes.

    3. it did not adhere to any w3 standards, and the code it created was extremely sloppy.

    Now, that being said, Microsoft Expression Web is a great tool. it's compliant, clean and effective. it's css management is great.

    Being that I'd never send anything serious as HTML via e-mail, and have all my mail clients set to show source and/or strip html...

    Seriously, is anyone out there still STUPID enough to accept html e-mails anymore?

    very easy to do.

    Go to:

    Edit > Preferences > General

    and uncheck the box 'Use CSS instead of HTML tags'

    problem solved.

    I know, it was annoying before I figured that out.

    Also, another trick is to hold the shift key when you press enter and you will get a <br> tag instead of the anoyong <p></p> tags

    Dreamweaver fine for composing email

    It seems like most mail clients are automatically blocking html mail anyway. Hotmail / outlook block everything unless you bug it to "download images". We send all our clients newsletters out dual format html / text anyway.

    Isn't the new hotmail majorly annoying? There are so many problems with it and you can't set any default settings so you have to click something for like 90% of the messages

    Yeah, I do like the look of it, and it has some nice functionality. But there are some annoyances to viewing html emails. If it's in the junk mail you have to move it into the inbox to click links or view pictures. I guess you can always "add to safe senders" if it's something you don't want to re-click every time.
