Re: [flasher] OT: DW3 can't read html files

[flasher]

The problem lies in ^%$#@$ FrontPage. That technology

is completely proprietary. It adds tags and code and

who knows what else so once it has you, it keeps you,

unless you are willing to redo the site in true HTML.


For experiment sake I pulled the source and placed it

in DreamWeaver. First, your site is not even showing

up properly on the net (Netscape 4.72 Mac OS9.0.4).

The logo doesn't display, the pictures are side by

side and the associated text does not show. In Dream

Weaver I found many unbalanced <tbody> and <div> tags

as well as <div> tags which spanned table cells. The

problem is IE is not W3C compliant and is much more

forgiving. MS has used this to it's advantage allowing

it's tools to write poor code which displays well in

IE and is poor in Netscape and other development tools.

They then recommend using only MS products blaming the

problems on other manufacturers' inadequacies. It's

what they call eating their own dog food. HTH.
