<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 541891, member: 6370&quot;]dreamweaver saves in HTML, no proprietary extension, same with frontpage and most other code generators. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>well, extra junk in the HTML is not a proprietary extension...its extra junk in the HTML. Dreamweaver saves files in HTML...there is no such thing as a Dreamweaver file extension. So sorry, it IS true that dreamweaver does not have proprietary extension. (it only has .dwt which is a template file if you CHOOSE to use it)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for any extra junk it puts in, there is a code window along with graphical interface...all you need do is delete any extra code you dont want (mainly it just puts some info in the head.)...it is not at all hard to get rid of if you were so inclined...you can open it in a text editor and delete it as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For a person who doesnt care to learn HTML and just wants to put his coins up quickly and easily...I dont think that person will care if Dreamweaver put a few lines of extra code in there as long as the page displays the way it should and looks good. Most people who go to a site aren&#039;t looking at the code and couldn&#039;t care less if there is an extra line or two, they are there to look at the site displayed, not the code...if a person choses to learn HTML there IS a learning curve that is far more than learning DW...and then he will get a site that is maybe some text, text links and some images...while DW will allow them to acheive much more features that would require more advanced code...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think some web developers need to worry a little less about if there is an extra line of code here and there, or how other approach web development, and learn to design a real website that goes a bit beyond some text, text links and big pictures thrown on the page willy nilly <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dont get me wrong, I agree that if you are going to be a web developer...the best way to go about it is to do as I have done and learn HTML. But I also know there are people out there who want to put up well designed, nice looking website, they dont want to become a web developer, they dont want to learn HTML, they dont care about the mechanisms of web authoring...they are interested only in getting their content up the easiest and fastest way they can find without having to learn how to program anything...and thats understandable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dont think the OP wanted this thread to be a place for people to bicker about how one should go about it but rather offer advice which he can take or leave....I offer advice with the full knowledge there are other ways to go about it...nuff said.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
