    Dreamweaver?

    Is there a way to import parts of the template into Dreamweaver? I am attempting to adjust the buttons and top banner, and am not too code orientated.. any assistance is greatly appreciated.

        Really it is not worth it to just paste the template code straight from VB into Dreamweaver. If you have some problems with some element that you wish to fix, then it may help to paste the output html from your browser into Dreamweaver, then at least your replacement variables and whatnot will show up. The only thing with that though is that you cannot paste it back into VB, just kind of helps you find alignment issues and whatnot.

          yeppers, i found that out

          Dreamweaver throws in to many guides, symbols, all crap!

          if anything do as above, and then make adjustments in the template file from the dreamweaver, but the copy paste, paste back in will mess things up.
          updating one of these days!

              yeah I use dreamweaver, but only when im revamping an entire template. its hard for the smaller ones cuz you have 3-4+ templates were the table start is over in this one, and the cells are in this one, ect...

                Yeah, I agree it is better to just learn the HTML and do it by hand, turns out much better that way! I have found DW to work if there are specific alignment problems that are hard to work out, but beyond that it is pretty useless for template work.
