i don't use frontpage or dreamweaver but i'm absolutely convinced
that at least in the latest version of dreamweaver you can tell the
software not to change your code when you altered it manually.
i'd also have to say that at the moment there is no way around
dealing with html if you want accessibility.
i went to the RNIB/Macromedia presentation a couple of weeks ago
and was disappointed to see that the Macromedia's Accessibility
Kit that can be downloaded for free and installed with DW3 and up,
still requieres you to go into the code to make the changes
suggested by the accessibility checker. kind of defeats the point
of a wysiwyg editor, doesn't it? however, i'm also convinced that
things will get easier soon, even for wysiwyg users.
