RE: Buzzcutbuddha (It depends on the editor) Editor Created Code vs Hand Crafted

I personally use Cold Fusion Studio and handwrite my code, but by the same token, I work with developers who use Macromedia because they can tell the developer to create the page for x.x browser and to use x.0 version of HTML and x.x version of Javascript, and it puts out pretty good code.
The editors have their place in development, as long as it does not substitute thinking out your code and your goals (or thinking in general for that matter), which should be optimization and maintainability, etc.

>they can tell the developer to create the page for x.x browser That so goes against the whole idea of the web in the first place. HTML should never cater itself to a particular browser. To a particular ([psuedo\|meta]\-)?language perhaps, but never to a browser. </soapbox> :)	[reply]

I agree, and I try to make my code work across all platforms, but when you have huge multinational companies coming in as clients and they say we want this to work best with AOL 4.0 because that's what most of our customers use, eh, ok, you got it. In reality, they sign my paycheck. I always fight to make cross browser code the standard, but being pointy-haired managers, they really don't seem to care.	[reply]
