So, I'm trying to learn web development using CSS with Dreamweaver CS3 and
Photoshop CS3. Admittedly, I don;t have a clue as to what I am doing, so I am
making liberal use of video tutorials and I have amassed a small library on CS3
apps, XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL.

Using these tools, I have successfully developed a simple template for a
website - ALMOST. But, (and this is just the kind of thng that makes me fart
fire) when I drag a link in Dreamweaver to one of the pages that I want to link
to (using the provided crosshair icon), it breaks the CSS and drops down the
last image on my menu line to beneath the menu effectively destroying my site's
look.

How the hell do people use this crap? With stupid stuff like PS CS3 grids
dropping BETWEEN pixels by default (and screwing up the width measurements of
your layout when copying to DW) and Dreamweaver breaking CSS just by adding an
"a" tag to an image, it'll take MONTHS to learn how to effectively code a
relatively simple web page using industry standards.

F'ing ridiculous!! And, it's not just Dreamweaver...but I do expect more from
what is supposedly the industry standard in web development tools.

Anybody know how to work around this flaw?
