    Default Dreamweaver automatically changes my tag attributes!

    I just submitted this to Dreamweaver's Bug Report form, but I've sent several
    bug reports in the last year, and the latest update to dreamweaver is still
    March 2004 I believe, not to mention they don't respond individually and I want
    to find some answers sooner than the next update. Just wondering if anyone has
    had the same problem? Here's what I submitted to Macromedia: I develop a lot
    of PHP code, often intermixed with HTML and JavaScript. Perhaps that has
    something to do with the issue; perhaps not. As it is, I end up doing a lot of
    debugging because I forget to pass a variable along and then mySQL throws an
    error. Well, I end up doing MORE debugging than I should normally have to do,
    because sometimes when I finally find the reason my code isn't working, it's
    because Dreamweaver replaced one of my 'href' attributes with 'abbr', or one of
    my '<tr id='xxx'>' with '<tr action='xxxx'>'. Just today I found out that my
    problem was due to this odd looking string which was part of the end of an href
    string '&amp;add=1%0A%09%20'. What in the world??? Somehow, just through
    normally editing/saving/uploading, Dreamweaver is changing my HTML code and
    it's very frustrating. I'm considering trying to find another WYSIWYG editor,
    but I don't want to use FrontPage, and I'm not sure what else is out there.
    (While I do a lot of hand coding, it's nice to do quick &amp; easy changes in a
    Design view, or to click on a table then switch to Code view to easily get to
    that particular code). Anyone else have this same problem?

    Hello,
    Don't know if this is your issue or not, you might want to check your
    settings under Preferences->Code Rewriting screen.

    Just a thought.
