Supposed to be used for non-specific inline style changes, but inĪlmost every case on your page there are more appropriate tags to use, I must admit to curiosity about your prolific use of span. > When I examine the source, I see all manner of stray :-( ) In thatĬase the Structure bar is where you should click to select. I would expect one to want to select a tag and its contents. Making inline selections is with the keyboard.

#BLUEGRIFFON ADDONS UPLOAD PLUS#
ItĬould be reduced to a select plus one click for common, recently There are a few things that are not true on your page, or out of date:. Since I had such a shift in thinking, the only areas where I go in to edit the code is in removing some of the inline styles, and transferring them to an external style sheet, plus of course any php/javascript. Let's be honest, those of us who are used to hand coding a lot often stick to that way of doing things, regardless of whether it is right or not. If the program is used from that viewpoint, stubbornly refusing to use source mode, and accepting the code that the program produces, it works remarkably well. In my opinion, what BlueGriffon does best is WYSIWYG web editing for people who don't know, don't want to know or don't care what HTML code is. The only area where a new HTML user would need to know anything about tags would be in the setting up of DIVs and in the use of the tag navigation. Once I got into the habit of using the ID & Class Dropdowns correctly, and got into the habit of using the tag navigation at the bottom, I barely need to delve into code any more. However, after a conversation on here with Greg, some while ago, I disagree wholeheartedly, but in a nice way the program hasn't changed hugely in that time, but my perspective has. I just read your page there, and I probably would have agreed with you a year and a half ago.
