Yep, back in the days of yore, I began developing a Web site for my employer using Dreamweaver. Everything was fine and dandy while the Web site was small, DW's "libraries" and "templates" were very handy. As the site got bigger (more than 10 or 20 pages) and as we started to use PHP and MySQL to automate things, then DW started becoming a burden. It didn't work very well outside it's own limited functionality. The worst part was that by the time I had a couple hundred static pages (all of which had DW's embedded junk in them to control libraries and templates) I knew I needed to switch to using PHP includes, so I had a rather big job of getting all of the DW junk out of my HTML. Do a Google search about "vendor lock-in" and you'll get a better illustration of the concept than my ramblings can produce. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
