Problem:
The websites were made with Dreamweaver. Initially it was made with layers, then these layers were converted to tables. Because of that, it creates a whole shitload of unnecessary rows and columns, but without them, the page do not look correctly because of the colspan or rowspan attributes in some sections of the table. Now the rows and columns are different for each website, so that means I cannot insert the same rows and columns for every page (even though they look the same). The only soluntion I can think of is to divide the page into 3 or 5 parts (depends on the page) so that the script will insert the proper rows and columns for each page. BUT my company does not want to do that because it is too much work. I was thinking about putting in a variable in the section where the links are, but PHP is server side, not client side, so that wouldn't work either. Any ideas?

It would really help if one of you can give me a real good idea without having to more than 2 changes in every page.

I just want to say that Dreamweaver is the best software out there to maintain an entire website, but I always hand-code the source. My co-workers don't and they don't even bother learning the html codes.

I agree. If you have intimate knowledge of html, dreamweaver is a dream.

pardon the pun

A good text editor that you are familiar with can make sites just as fast as any of them. And twice as fast if your site involves much scripting client or server side. (Also twice as lean)

Firepages, I just want to say that text editors are perfectly good, but if you're operation a large website, would you rather use text editors or Dreamweaver?

I would rather use Dreamweaver because I can setup a template so that certain areas of the page are editable, set up the website. Now I want to change my logo, I can change it on the template, and Dreamweaver will automatically update it to all the sites. They can also update your links if you move the files. I use Dreamweaver, but I always hand-code them and always will.
