Re: html issue

First things first; the <font> tag has depreciated a few years ago--replaced with the likes of <div> and <span>.

you can change the code in Dreamweaver. If Dreamweaver 'sticks' your onclick message inside or wherever you don't want it to be, simple copy n paste.

The dependancy on Dreamweaver is incredible. What You See Is What You Get editors should really die off and start to fade away because all they promote are bad coding standards. It's considered horrible code to be using tables for your layout structure as well as <font> for all text issues. Sure you can use a WYSIWYG editor that implements CSS for you--blam. But you still have no idea of what you're doing. If you want to do web design / coding right, get a book. You need to learn the languages as well as become acquainted with coding techniques used for layouts.

Granted, IE does not support CSS as well as FF, but that's poor development of the IE browser on Microsoft's part. Keep in mind while coding for browser compatability, do not scale back to depreciated tags or informal code just to appease one browser's likings-- build your site the way it should be coded and hack away untill you can make the best out of it.
