| Forcing Dreamweaver MX not to use css
any way to do this? |

Ordinarily I am a total convert to css and would not dream of littering my HTML with font tags and other nasties. However I am regularly asked to create HTML newsletters and I find that if I create them using CSS they display badly and unpredictably in outlook. Dreamweaver MX 'helpfully' creates a style for me if I choose pink text, for example, but I want it to do it the old fashioned way. Is it possible to make DW go back in time, could I do it with a particular doctype for example? If it isn't possible, can anyone suggest other tools I could use?

Not sure Helen - for the very same thing I hand code the the HTML. But there might be a code re-writing setting in prefs?

In Dreamweaver 8, if you go to Edit > Preferences > General there is a checkbox to "Use CSS instead of HTML tags". If you have this option in MX, try unchecking it :-)

Brilliant, there is! Thanks turbosaab :). Hopefully this should save me many hours of anguish in future! I'm way too lazy to do it for these HTML newsletters. I'm usually happy to do it for templates for 'proper' websites though! [edited by: HelenDev at 4:07 pm (utc) on Oct. 15, 2008]
