I pretty much never used (back when I did use it) WOBuilder for
anything that I did not create in it. And "designer" created HTML is
usually a horrendous mess of generated, mangled text masquerading as
valid HTML.
OK, with that off my chest :-) I'd rely on a real web browser and
rapid turn around to get a useful WYSIWYG view. If the links in the
HTML don't have a leading /, use a BASE tag in the page's HEAD to
specify where the paths are relative to. Otherwise they are relative
to the dynamically generated page and that won't ever work. Then
load all the resources into the Apache's doc root and run your app
through Apache. Trying to make all that into the project's WebServer
Resources is (a) a lot of work and (b) going to cause no end of
problems as the designer continues to tweak the template.

I have a template someone designed for me using Fireworks/
Dreamweaver. If I cut and paste the HTML into WOBuilder, a lot of
stuff is broken. There are rollover buttons using various
javascripts with preload stuff, and various other things that are
just messed up, and I'm not sure where to look for info on how to
handle this sort of thing. I could try and recreate the layout from
scratch using the graphics included in the template, but I think
that will not be a good way to work all the time.
Is there any primer out there on how to handle this issue?
Thanks,
Kevin
