agreed, Dreamweaver is not the tool for you. But I've found it to be useful for whipping up quick HTML newsletters from slice photoshop layouts. And I like to see incremental change so if I used the browser refresh technique trying to tweak the crappy table layouts photoshop spits out, I'd be pressing "CTRL+S, ALT+TAB, CTRL+R" 100+ times!

HTML and [php] code (other than simple presentation logic) should be kept as far apart as possible). 3. CTRL+R (what Robbert said) but at the end of the day - whatever works for you, right? darn - it's all turned serious :-)
