It's a nice editor, but sometime it trys to be too smart.

I have an frameset with one of the frames loading a dynamically assigned
url.
<frame src="" name="rightFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

This throws an error every time I load it in DW because it's trying to find
the actual filename referenced, but there's obviously no file called by the
variable name.

Another problem is the rewriting of some code. I have a page that does a
<cfif> to determine which version of a form to show. Some of the form
elements have the same names and IDs but that's okay because they're in
different forms separated by the if statements. But in DW's design view, if
I try to just highlight the input element and drag it to a new location on
the page, it notices that there is another element with the same name and it
rewrites the name and id on the one I'm dragging. That breaks things. It
works fine in code view, but an advantage of DW is supposed to be the
ability to move stuff around in design view.

I like DW, and I've used it since version 1, but I don't completely trust it
and if I need to edit something in code fast I will still use a text-only
editor like HomeSite.
