The settings I recommend to people at work.... Accessibility tab: Enable all of the "Show Attributes when Inserting" options Code Format tab. Set "Default Tag Case" to "lowercase" Set "Default Attribute Case" to "lowercase..." Set "Centering" to "Use DIV tag" Code Rewriting tab. Enable... Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags Encode <, >, &, and " in attributed values using & Encode special characters in URLs using % New Document tab. Set the "Make Document XHTML Compliant" option. I also give instructions on how to change the default HTML file extension from .htm to .html but that's more about our naming convention than anything else. Obviously many people on this list will already have done this; but we have a lot of users with varying skill levels creating web pages, so we try to get DW to prompt them for extra info. We have support material and training to tell them what it all means... of course, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them pay attention in accessibility class :) h -- --- <http://cheshrkat.blogspot.com/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
