Dreamweaver MX v. 6.0, running on Windows 2000. I just fired it up and wow,
it didn't change my code -- at least, not during a 5-minute test.
What it DID do that irritated me was:
1. Demand that I define a "site" on my hard drive and give it complete
information about how I FTP this content to the server, including addresses
and passwords, before it would even open a file. Felt like being ordered to
sign a prenuptial agreement before a blind date.
2. In WYSIWYG mode, it did a fairly poor job of showing me what my page
looks like in real browsers. Maybe this is why I don't bother with it; what
good is a WYSIWYG view that isn't WYSIWYG?
