[OT] HTML usage...

I don't even need to do that these days - after going through the 'bugger, I've got to change 140 pages here' stage last year I standardised on a PHP frontend with CSS backend and top-down navigation for all my sites. Nowadays every page is standard and is generated from 4 files - header, menubar, content & footer. All text, titles, headers, paragraphs etc can be changed instantly by altering a single CSS attribute. Even the photo galleries and picture views are dynamically generated so no sweat to change things there either. If I do need to change something in each PHP file I can safely do it sitewide with 1 dialogue box. All hand coded using Dreamweaver's 'code view' because I like DW's file management and syntax colouring. DW doesn't support PHP per se (well, MX doesn't) other than the colouring so it's instantly obvious if I've missed off a semi-colon or not closed a tag properly. Older browsers are happy because there's nothing complicated for them to render; the only one I've found that can't display properly is an old browser for 68k macs that doesn't understand a <br> is a line break so you just get a string of text. Can't remember its name....
