[FX.php List] Problem with text formatting

[Bob Patin]

Hi,

Thanks guys; I've been using Dreamweaver (hard to stop after a long  
time using it), and when you switch the view to the WYSIWYG view, it  
updates the page. I could see that, after I replaced the META tag,  
that the Japanese characters changed a bit... so I think it's already  
done.

At Devcon I saw a nice demo of Textmate and CSSEdit (thanks to the  
good Joel Shapiro), which I vow to start using, but Dreamweaver's  
really handy for its combination of preview, FTP, and code. However,  
yesterday it really messed up a page I was working on; I added a  
table row above my FOREACH code for cranking out records into a  
table, and Dreamweaver most kindly deleted my PHP code. It took me  
quite a while (it's a really complex page) to find it too... very  
aggravating. A good reason to bail on Dreamweaver.
