Hehe...any of the frames which show the "messy" code, with lines 
overlapping. Look carefully, and you'll note repeated instances of 
MM_  prefixes to js stuff. This is Dreamweaver-produced code, if I'm not 
mistaken. (At least, it looks like the js I've seen DW produce. *G*)

For anyone who hasn't seen this, it's an ad for the new FP, saying 
something about it being more professional, and producing cleaner code. Of 
course, the "clean" code produced is missing one word from the copy itself 
(the word "help", ironically enough), appears to be missing one closing and 
one opening paragraph tag (assuming that there should be three paragraphs 
instead of two...it would certainly make more sense what with the line 
breaks they've got in there), and of course uses the bold element rather 
than the strong element, which while not INcorrect, certainly doesn't seem 
to hold with current "best practices". Got a real laugh out of me this 
morning when I spotted it online. :-)
