[CLUE-Tech] How do website authors maintain their sanity?

[Mike Miller]

I'd say that was an issue in 98 or 99, but I've found that the current
generation of tools do a really good job of generating code that's cross
platform compatible. Granted, that last major site I had, I coded for NS 5+
and IE 4+ which covered 99.9% of the folks hitting that site. (IE5 + AOL +
IE6 accounted for more than 96.5% of the traffic, all used the IE engine for
rendering at the time)

While I understand the desire to support other browsers, especially on THIS
mailing list, they really are a drop in the bucket compared to IE use.

All that said, I'll concede that I hand coded the main webpage, only using
the code the Graphic Arts person gave me for the DHTML par of the page,
which was purposely set up as an independent item.

Speaking of Dreamweaver, a good friend of mine is in an 'advanced HTML'
class.  
She is trying to convince the instructor (in vain) why they need to do 
layouts by hand, rather than allowing the tool to do it for them.  She 
actually does most of her layouts now in CSS because table layouts were 
frustrating in different environments.
