Hi I slightly disagree with Randal about accessibility and usability can be considered as "moot" because they are part and parcel of being a true professional web developer/designer. However, I totally agree the first steps of that professional is to understand the code not the WYSIWIG, afterall graphic designers don't start on Quark or Indesign.

If the goal is to educate your students so that they can work in a professional environment, then they need to first learn HTML by coding it, and then graduate to a WYSIWYG such as Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is the professional's choice. -- Randal Rust www.r2communications.com
