Michael,

I've been working at WO for a couple of months. About two weeks ago I got more serious about the look and feel of my app and decided the best way to deal with this is to use cascading style sheets. There is pretty good support for CSS in the current browser install base (5.x and up) and, especially if you are doing a large site, you probably don't want to have to code each page in HTML. So, I've ripped out nearly all the formatting tags (with the exception of cellspacing and cellpadding) and am using CSS. It's working well.

WO also provides a handy wrapper for code common to all (or many) pages, e.g. navigation.

Hi -

I'm new to WO and haven't really started building my application that I need to port yet but after playing around with WOBuilder a bit I'm a bit underwhelmed by the way it works. Is it normal practice to just create an awful looking web page in WO Builder and then edit the HTML directly to make it look nice? I never have used things like Dreamweaver to build web pages preferring to hand code everything but it seems like you pretty much have to use WOBuilder (or at least it's much easier to) to create the links to dynamic code.

Anyway, before I start working I'm just curious how other people deal with the limitations of WOBuilder to build XHTML or at least HTML 4 compatible websites.

Thanks for any advice.
