I've never used DW and don't see the need to...

Kompozer is a good alternative that runs on Linux and Win32 platforms. It does have some operational issues and I don't particularly like the back engine, you make a typo error and your whole site page is out of whack and you have to spend ages editing the HTML to under the HTML view to sort the issue out.

Dreamweaver is nice but no way is it worth the money that they demand for it.


Anyway, I am fumbling around again because I am fed up of Firefox crashing or locking up and its only just had an update recently, seems that the situation has been compounded rather than fixed.


Ok, onwards... MSIE 6 is proving to be a royal pain in the ass. I have tried loading the CSS sheet last if needed for MSIE 6 using a conditional element in HTML but I have no way of telling in my browsers that are non msie if this is working... So I went to a browser shots site to get a better look and see that despite my efforts,  the CSS hard coded in to the page is not working, as this would be the last CSS out, it should over ride any previous setting but its not.

How do I get the MSIE 6 CSS to load up?

Kompozer needs a lot of improvement work on features. Firefox locking up is driving me insane. I thought it was CMSMS, but this does not replicate in IE, which is a real shame. (Fox freezes after submitted an edit to a page and I have to kill it)

Any css hard coded, which you don't say how it is hard coded, should be the only css read into the browser and a style sheet can't overwrite it...

I never use css in the html like
{stylesheet name='ie6'}

I put it in the HTML WYSIWYG between { literal } tags.

I shall try making the change suggested and see what happens.

I would be very wary of putting anything like that in wysiwyg as it may eat some of the code and make it not work...
