Why is "pixel perfect" a requirement, particularly with websites where the
final product can't even be guaranteed to meet that requirement?
Similarly so with other superficial elements of design

he/she's so insistent that that element be included in the top nav. Two

Sometimes, when a client seems unaccountably stubborn about including a

articulate why. And resistance from the designer just makes the client shut

I use TextMate (http://macromates.com/) ... it's by far the best
editor around. Mac only though, but IMHO worth the switch just for
this alone.
The only Windows editor that has the same features is jEdit, which is
amazing but ugly and hard to use. Some people get used to it and love
it though.
Yeah, I definitely don't want to get into a pissing contest (I would
loose =).
And you're probably right about the second suggestion too; the
customer is always right, right?
I think I know now what the boss is looking for and I'm working on a
compromise. If he doesn't like it I'll do it his way.
I use Textpad for most small projects because it highlights code well and
opens about as fast as Notepad. I use Dreamweaver for larger projects
because the later versions let you select tables and code elements and
collapse them to get them out of the way. Occasionally I use Visual Studio,
