[dreamweaver and absolute links]

chap - I agree. Dreamweaver has it\'s place in the world I\'m sure, but there is NOTHING comparable to a solid text editor with syntax highlighting and a sound knowledge of what the heck you\'re doing.

 

I wrestled with DMX for weeks and went back to the text editor.

 

I generally recommend HTML-Kit (http://www.htmlkit.com) - free and feature-rich. The extensions add a great deal of power to it.

 

I had found DMX handy for doing PHP/mySQL connections at first, but annoying in the end. It\'s better to learn SQL yourself and write your own queries.
