Dreamweaver making a SE mess ???

Rorschach · 2004-05-30, 12:09 AM

Dreamweaver does insert a lot of crap into a page, especially if you either don't know html or don't bother to clean it up... I looked at some very old sites I made in DW before I knew html properly and started doing it by hand, and the content of the page was almost totally obfuscated by the masses of empty or excess tags - there were tons of them, I was quite shocked. If you know html and can go back through and tidy up the source then DW can be a useful tool, but if you don't, then the html output can potentially be horrid.
