Re: Dreamweaver oddities

DW does that weird thing sometimes.  I usually solve the problem by
re/defining the site root.  I don't usually go to the trouble of defining
the site root at the start of a site, so I figure that's the source of my
probs.

And guess what!  I've got a new acronym to use now.  Am I cool, or what?

HTH!
