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 for the replies guys. I will take a look at Eclipse and WOLips when I get a chance, but I think for now that I will use static images with absolute URLs and try to change the html as little as possible. There is a lot of wonky html involved, but most of it is tool generated and I don't really have time to go and clean it up by hand.


As an aside, is there any html design tool that will actually setup layouts using CSS rather than tables?

Thanks,
Kevin

First, I know of no such design tool, but if you find one, I'd love to hear about it.


Second, although your decision may be the correct one in your circumstances, I always consider the strong possibility that in six months I will be asked to make major modifications to any page I'm given today to implement. I've found, in general, that my users are a lot more sanguine about giving me the necessary time to implement the initial page well, then they are about giving me the time needed to slog through bad code or bad HTML to make changes later.

That's why I go through the effort I do to make the page's structure understandable, maintainable and as robust as possible. YMMV.

In any case, yours is not an easy task right now, so all the best.

Regards,
Jerry
