table wizard is initially in objects pallet - then after that - you;ll notice to mini graphics on the button left of the properties menu - that's where you can add and rmeove columns or just right mouse click >table
As for DW changing code - I have still run into that - AND the other day - aggrevated me to now end - I could change a tag - it kept changing it back. Other than that - I do find DW code hinting and color coding to be very helpful - and line numbers are displayed I on a daily basis open CF Studio - but being a designer often need to upload icons and stuff- of which - cf studio while in ftp mode is impossible. I am a a heavy DW user that as I code more and more in CF find that I am opening cf studio a heck of alot more if I need to make fast changes on a live site - DW;s FTP is horrendous - slow, full of errors, chokes on large files- but has that nice feature - include all relevant.linked files. I have also found that DW"s code it produces in query wizards and such are horrific - all that gibberish -. BUT - Server side includes being included on live design view --is well - long awaited. CF STudio - no FTP for new art or easy way to work with that but MUCH faster for changing files on the server. oh well - maybe one day it will all come together jay Chad Gray wrote: I have been forcing myself to get use to Dreamweaver, and so far I am alright with the software. I still load up CF studio out of habit. I had to do a lot of customization to the preferences to get it to work like CF Studio. I am still not completely happy with it yet. I like the way it includes the <cfincludes> in the design view. Finally a graphic display that understands server side programming. I like that you can see code, and design at the same time. I had to turn off all those shield looking things (invisible elements)... what is the use of them? They just clutter things up. The whole site manager thing is a PITA. I have not taken the time to add all of our web sites to it. You cannot drag and drop images to the code unless you are in asset view. You can drag and drop images to the design view, but not code. I thought that was pretty strange. I really like that it knows and cod es XHTML tags. I have not run into problems where dreamweaver starts changing code behind your back and without asking if it is alright. I have heard a few people on CFTalk mention that dreamweaver does this. If it does happen that will be the straw that breaks the camels back. I hate programs that change code and code formatting. Im still learning where all the icons are for things like turning off/on word wrap etc... but for the most part I am getting use to the new software. Oh.. what happened to the table wizard? Where you can start making colspans, and rowspans etc in a graphic interface? I LOVED that table wizard in CF Studio. -----Original Message----- From: charlie griefer [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 11:57 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Dreamweaver MX opinions jt writes: I started using Dreamweaver MX, but backed off and am now using CFStudio 5 again....just can't beat it in my opinion. Josh: I'm about ready to go back to Studio 5...or even try Homesite+ (which I understand is bundled on the Studio MX cd)... my only concern is that eventually (i believe) MM will cease production of HomeSite altogether, as it has with Studio, and Dreamweaver will be the only alternative.

I understand there will be a learning curve, and it will be uncomfortable for a few days...but here are a few of my current pet peeves: 1) yes, it's slow loading. 2) i'm used to ctrl-shift-b for <br> tag. it took me forever to figure out how to add that to the keyboard shortcuts. but even now that it's there, it puts the <br>, and then moves the cursor down to the next line :| 3) no internal browser for preview. i only recently started using this in Studio, more for javascript than cf pages...just to see if it will run before even bothering to save it. kind of got used to that. unless I'm missing it, there is no way to do that in DWMX. I really wish that since MM had bothered to make a "homesite/coder" 'view', that they would have kept the homesite shortcuts. just my thoughts. i'm sure there will be more :) charlie Jochem van Dieten writes: Bryan Stevenson wrote: For me the one glaring issue with DW MX is it's sloooooooooooow. So even after the learning curve it slows me down......SLS (still lovin studio) ;-) Disable your virus scanner for the DW MX install dir (if you dare). It is all those pesky little files that really make a virusscanner crawl.
