Dreamweaver

respecting CSS

[fashezee]

I'm using Dreamweaver MX and it does not respect the line-height I assign
my H1 tags. When displayed in a browser, it displays fine. Any way to change this?

This is just my personal guess, but I think it has to do with MX having a now outdated rendering, same as IE 5 etc. I have noticed lately as I have started to do some really tricky complex CSS layouts that DW MX renders them improperly, but they do come up right in the newest Mac and PC browsers.

Maybe MX 2004 has a more current rendering capabilities.

Yes, they did update the rendering engine to display in a more current manner.

Have your tried the new Dreamweaver MX 2004? It does a much nicer job of displeying pages created with CSS.

One of my sites had 4 main components, they would be stacked in Dreamweaver MX, In MX 2004 they are no longer stacked, but you need to scroll down a bit to see the footer. It is still a vast improvement.

I would suggest trying the MX 2004 demo if you have broadband, should be around 50-75megs I am guessing.

I'll have to 2nd the recommendation to try MX 2004

I just spent the last 5 hours test driving it...and all I can say is Wow. A MUCH improved version. I definately have to purchase the upgrade.
