"How do you keep Dreamweaver from messing with your code structure and inserting unecessary tags (font div etc...) all over the place?

I prefer using Adobe GoLive as it integrates with the rest of the Adobe products so very nicely. The Allaire Homepage editor is also very nice. In a collaborative development environment, the snippets that Homepage makes available are very useful."

Simple, I code 90% of it myself. If i don't code one of the tags myself and I let dreamweaver do it, and I don't like one of the tags in there and I view as uneccessary I just simply take it out myself and either leave it out or insert a more usefull tag that could be used to replace it. You mentioned the Div tag. This is becoming more usefull as HTML moves on. I don't use it however for font tags. But I do use it for centering objects on the screen or centering them in a table or layer. I use the <div align="center"></div> tag to center it all up. I used to use the <center></center> tags but they are slowly becoming out of date IMO. I've seen that tag not work in some newer browsers although I cannot remember which one at this moment.

"From personal experiance, I've learned anyone that's paid for a website made in a WYSIWYG editor, well...

They got ripped off. "

Yes, this could be true. But... that's why I don't use that feature of a editor. The WYSIWYG editors can be bad if you only use the WYS part of it. That's why - like I mentioned to Trajan - I code 90% by hand. That way I have more control over what's going on in the page and so forth. Only problem I have with making pages is designed graphics. I stink at them. So most of the time I find a graphics designer that I can hire or something like that...but that's another time, story and another thread.
