Re: Another Dreamweaver/Homesite Question

In fact Dreamweaver was never intended as a WYSIWYG-only editor.  That was 
one of the major criticisms of Front Page - it had tried to be a web editor 
that you never needed to touch the code.

The design of Dreamweaver is so that you can switch from     WYSIWYG to text 
and back seamlessly and quickly without disrupting everything.  In fact I 
think it's essential that you be able to dart back and forth between the 
graphical view and the code view.

Judging by the comments of the Macromedia folks I've spoken to, so do 
Macromedia.
