You mean some older version of DW never munged code, but MX does? Now that's the first time I've heard that! I can't argue that DWMX doesn't munge code functionality because I've heard it mentioned several times. But I *STILL* haven't seen a reproducable example of anything other than reformatting - not denying it, but would like to see example that I can turn over, so it can be fixed. And I've definatley gotten the word on reformatting - and I'm pushing that it be changed that only *necessary* code be touched, instead of reformatting whole doc when just adjusting one table.

This is a setting in the site definition: absolute vs relative links. Hmm, I can't find it now. Well, it used to be a setting in DW4 but it seems that DWMX always creates site root-relative links based on the local folder location. It seems the assumption is that a 'site' is always a 'root' on the server. I guess you have defined a site where your local folder is not at the root? > On a related subject, how do you have it open the frameset for editing? > About 90% of the time when I open a frameset document Dreamweaver > opens the > first frame instead. DWMX will show the entire page - with frames loaded - in Design View. If you switch to Code View, you should see just the frameset itself. Personally, I don't like and don't use frames... > Come back CFStudio, all is forgiven.

If you turn off code rewriting, and take note of certain 'translator' restrictions (documented in a tech note - I don't have the info to hand but I remember blogging it a while back... to do with cfinclude getting munged) then you should be OK.
