<g>now I know that this is the home of hand coders, tough guys 
and gals who roll their own strict HTML code and never miss a 
closing tag </g> so it is with some trepidation that I admit to trying 
Dreamweaver and being rather pleasantly surprised. I like the 
concept of working with layers at the design stage and then being
able to convert from absolute positioning to table based code.

BUT, the generated table code uses pixel measurements 
throughout, whereas it seems to be the conventional wisdom that 
one should use percentages (or even ems). 

Does anyone know of a method of coercing DW to output its code 
with %, or alternatively does anyone know of a utility that will read 
HTML and convert px to % where appropriate?


thanks
