    Does anyone else still work with it? I dont know why, but ever since I began working with Homesite 5, I could never switch to Dreamweaver. The various tools of Dreamweaver always confused me.

    I use raw HTML when I code by hand, personally work faster with coding by hand than using programs such as Front Page or Dreamweaver.

    Dreamweaver and such dont really meet the new standards of programming. CSS, for example, cant be done that well with Dreamweaver. I know many Graphic Designers that use Dreamweaver and such, and it works for them, but few programmers that use anything but Raw.

    Well there's a difference, graphics designer mainly make sites that look pretty (so no need for complicated codings) while programmers are more focused on the functionality of the site ;)

    Either way, Raw works best both ways.

    When I code by hand (CSS for example) I always use dreamweaver. It's so handy with the preview and things. Haven't tried any other programs..

    CSS by hand:eek: ...

    For previewing you can do it without a program..by opening the HTML file. What "other things" are so special about Dreamweaver?

    Yea? how else would you do the css?

    And well.. I didn't mean preview in browser.. I meant the preview in the program itself (it's not the same as if I preview in a browser though).

    And nothing is so special about dreamweaver, it's just that it's very good for beginners since it makes most of the code for you. But sure there are many other programs aswell I pressume.

    Not to be the bruiser, but how can you learn to code by hand if you use dreamweaver as a beginner? I remember first time I began to learn coding was when my father put a 100-page folder for me, and told me to review all of it, comparing it to the website, for a hundred bucks. Thats actually how I began :cool:

    Why is CSS by hand shocking? I know some CSS... I also know HTML. I do a little of both as far as using a program and coding by hand. I will generally set things up in dreamweaver and code manually from there. Its just simpler and faster.

    Trust me, that's how I learned. I viewed the coding the program made all the time, and I first discovered CSS by using dreamweaver.. actually. But we're all different though.
