Not sure, what I was getting at was that my local college as do many others teach using Dreamweaver or other expensive tool I think this removes the need to write html by hand for the most part. I would rather learn how to do a website plus what is going on under the hood so to speak, so I understand what the software is doing. People here have said we should be teaching how to use word processor or example NOT how to use a specific package that ties people in to a specific company or file format. if you teach me HTML then I can use what ever editor I want, I will probably also understand what is going on in dreamweaver so when I view the code I actually understand what its doing, I am not implying people are not capable of writing html code, Paul -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
