ummm but you can still code it easily... just a painwhe u have to open the browser up or just continuously refresh, in HTML editors the trade offs are the crappy redundant code they put in at times, like meta tags that you don't need.

any way to prevent them from doing that??

well that's what they do by default with their generated pages based on their templates, it's just the matter of going through the code and manually removing it

Are extra codes really bad?
Do they cause any trouble?

 

[Jeo]

What you can do is use a WYSIWYG editor and then after you are finished, you can clean up the code.

Notepad .

I use text editors, Frontpage, Dreamweaver, or whatever tool that actually suits the work I'm doing.

well isnt one enough?

but anyway, what are the bad things with having extra tags (added by Frontpage or Dreamweaver, etc)?? (besides increasing file sizes)

If I'm just writing a page with plain text and nothing else...then its Notepad, why bother starting up Deamweaver? Its like waiting for Photoshop to load everytime I want to view a JPEG.. If I'm making a large webiste with lots of graphics I would use Dreamweaver to make it that much easier to use other Macromedia tools and to manage the structure of the site, and if its something in between the two then I can use Frontpage.

Sometimes the tags added by tools can be redundant and don't actually do anything (more of an issue with Frontpage). Reading the code of complicated websites might become difficult if the code is all machine generated. Though Dreamweaver does a good job of cleaning up its code.
