Good question. I usually develop by hand and with Dreamweaver to speed things up.
Anyone got an answer?In my process, I layout with a certain look. After that only do I write up an external styles-dhtml scripts to be called in, and reconcile that with the layout, to preserve the intended look and feel & function. Seems backwards but knowing how to write and then going to a WYSIWYG editor does that to me.
I'm not a Dreamweaver "expert" but, for how I build /design, I've never been comfortable putting in styles in concurrently in while building up some quick pages if starting from complete scratch. But there is a pallete in there for css so I'm sure you could use that to some degree, cut and paste out what it generates into an external script, that works too.

Great idea!
I thought about doing that as well. I was trying it out the other day ...creating the layout first and then played around with the CSS pallette. But I don't think that I was doing it right.

I don't particularly use Dreamweaver to generate my CSS, only the quick html bits I need. But I'm sure its possible to generate the css you want. On your end, you will have to be sharp and precise on how you composite the code together. A reference book on DHTML/CSS should help you to make sure your code syntax (languge structure) is correct, because if it is not, or the paths and directories aren't, it won't work. You might want to watch that. If you take what you need out of Dreamweaver, you will still have to "proofread" the code to make sure all the spaces, punctuation, spelling is correct. This is what you'll need a DHTML/CSS book for.
