"Not the best hiding place, then," the Doctor said in cheery understatement as he took Rose's hand and led her back along the hall.
"Did you know we'd end up smack in the middle of a coup?"
"Not exactly." He ducked back as another blast threatened to remove his head and glanced at Rose with an enthusiastic grin. "Fun though, isn't it?"

I have this strange desire to change that final line, or replace it, or get rid of it, or something. It doesn't sit right with me somehow. But hey, i'm having a wierd day. I shall returning to maintaining a website built by some worker in another company who clearly thinks 'Dreamweaver' is an application for making coffee. Grr.
Making coffee is about all Dreamweaver is good for. It is a piece of shit. It mangles code. I like my code just as it is without some moronic machine language adjusting it and screwing up layout and functionality.
I am seriously pissed at Macromedia for buying Homesite and doing nothing with it. Best webdev coding software ever. The chief designer here seems baffled that I can happily code sites without Dreamweaver's design view. What is wrong with kids these days?
i was looking at it more, and i worked out what i would do. It'd be something like this:
"Not the best hiding place, then," the Doctor said in cheery understatement as he took Rose's hand and led her back along the hall.
"Did you know we'd end up smack in the middle of a coup?"
"Not exactly."
He ducked back as another blast chipped pieces off the corner of the wall near his head, glancing back at Rose with an enthusiastic grin.
"Fun though, isn't it?"
I just absolutely love it ending with that line. You may now maul me.
I'm not at the notepad-coding stage yet, i still need references. And my colleagues are coding in css now, so they need to check in each and every browser every two seconds to see the next error it throws up in non-w3 compliant browsers. yuech. but hey, don't sweat macromedia, they are slaves to adobe now!

They don't get beaten nearly enough, that's what. Humphf.
The NCSA HTML Primer is old and out of date, but a good starting point for raw coding.
Writing CSS is still no excuse for Dreamweaver. It's easy enough to write in Homesite, but then you'd actually have to know what the code does instead of pushing a button to insert crap code.
I'm good on html, i just need practice to get to a point where i feel confident without the occassional browser preview. i've not found that dreamweaver really inserts anything crap at all, i write it using html in the code view and just use dreamweaver to preview.
But god, i gotta share this - it's not the worst i've seen but it caused me nightmares today. i'm doing a day's worth of seo work on a site we adopted from another design company (the one i was complaining about in my first post) and god, take a look at the code on this page. wtf?? I don't have enough time to redo the site, so it was driving me mental! Every time i added something or adjusted, the content would shoot off in some random direction and i'd resume chewing the monitor in distress.
Just wait until you get handed a design by a print designer who has no clue about web and refuses to listen. I had to code this crap little box in the middle of the screen that looks awful on Firefox and apparently breaks on Mac (but we don't know what version OS or browser because the bloody client is too stupid to tell us).
Having a layer of useless designers between you and the client is not fun.
we had great fun in our office last week putting script into a new site we designed so that our primary designer couldn't view the pages on his mac using IE (because god knows why he's using such a rediculous combination and it screws all our sites up). It came up with a rather insulting message instead. :P
fantastically, he didn't say anything about it but this week he downloaded the latest Safari. success! office pranks can be productive!
LOL! That's so like him.
