anyone have experience of using latest version of MS Expression? DW8 seems not to work which is a real shame, it does not like the media="screen" statement in the link:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

For some reason my Artisteer template in html isn't functioning correctly in IE8 but Chrome & Firefox work fine. Page is at: http://www.skynergy.com/new/page.html
The drop down menu's become transparent and you can't click on them. Also, the 'enter your email address' string at the subscribe button has moved behind the subscribe button. IE8 doesn't detect the need for compatibility mode on this page - besides compatibility mode doesn't change anything.
There is an IE6 and IE7 stylesheet generated by Artisteer but not an IE8 one so I don't know how to get IE8 users to get the benefit of a working stylesheet.
Any tips?

Since this is a new topic it would be better to start a new thread. this is a old thread on a different subject.

I have used Expression Web 3 on a few website and have reasonable luck. Save and version your pages often, I work in visual design 99% of the time. HTML only for copy paste of code snippets. I enjoy the software but have yet to do any advanced work with it. example site is redstonegj.com and dontpanic.biz

I too have problem with Artistee template using Dreamweaver CS3. My computer has 4GB RAM . This is my first time using Artisteer HTML template. Now, there's no problem editing HTML code in DW, however when you save, it runs excruciating slow. Even saving CSS code to CSS file is very slow.
I've developed many sites including Drupal sites and never had problems editing or saving themes and CSS files (NOT Artisteer generated themes)in DW .
Is there a magic button/configuration that you set to make Artisteer run smoother in DW or is it just not compatible with DW?
bit of a bump I know but i have massive issues with the arttisteer templates in Dreamweaver CS3 performance wise.
my machine is no slouch either (8 core I7, 12 gig RAM and 2 x gtx260s in SLI)
the joomla and wordpress export is wonderful but the html output is so slow its unuseable realistically

Margaret,
This may be a bit late...but I think I have found a solution on designing/editing Artisteer template using Design mode in Dreamweaver!
Select this block of code (below) and right click and select Selection and click on Apply /* */ Comment. and save the file. This works great! However don't forget to uncomment it when done and ready for production.
Let me know if this works for anyone who has same problem in DW
is = function(t){return (u.indexOf(t)!=-1)};
addClass(document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0],[
(!(/opera|webtv/i.test(u))&&/msie (\d)/.test(u))?('ie ie'+RegExp.$1)
: is('firefox/2')?'gecko firefox2'
: is('firefox/3')?'gecko firefox3'
: is('gecko/')?'gecko'
: is('chrome/')?'chrome'
: is('opera/9')?'opera opera9':/opera (\d)/.test(u)?'opera opera'+RegExp.$1
: is('konqueror')?'konqueror'
: is('applewebkit/')?'webkit safari'
: is('mozilla/')?'gecko':'',
(is('x11')||is('linux'))?' linux'
: is('mac')?' mac'
: is('win')?' win':''
].join(' '));
}();
Thank you so much for this tip! It made my DW CS3 w/ 1 MB RAM actually display my Artisteer pages in Design view without choking. The display is not perfect - but it is better than nothing.
I really have to say thank you to those who suggested SeaMonkey's Composer. Wow! That is beautiful. I only had only problem with SeaMonkey re-saving my .js & .css files into my /images/ folder and messing things up. I thought I could start with those in the images folder and perhaps have a workable solution.
The last thing I am trying is Contribute CS5. I have a site with 2,700 web pages (not files - pages). I use about 20 DW templates. I perhaps have some editors that can use SeaMonkey without trashing things. But I know I have others who would need something a little more locked down. I'll post my Contribute CS5 results when I'm able.

Hi, i'm having the same problem with templates, the main problem is that none of the main so called web development programs show artisteer templates in the wysiwyg part of the program. I have just downloaded expressionweb 4 (trial version) and that doesn't show the template properly. If I could do all the raw coding , I wouldn't be using artisteer, so either ALL the web dev programs have it wrong or artisteer puts something obscure in the code.
It would be so usefull to create in artisteer, export and use a wysiwyg program to make a website, alas this dosent seem to be, so it looks as if I'll just use artisteer for wordpress templates.

Looks great in DW CS5 in the "Live Code" view. Easy easy easy to find and edit the code. Just click anywhere on the page (Design View) and the cursor goes to the correct place in the code (Code View).

I use Coffeecup HTML Editor which also has a visual editor incorporated. I do all my coding in there and have successfully opened Artisteer pages in there, so assume that they could also be seen in the visual editor preview.
Yip i use it too. Found Dreamweaver extremly slow at handling the visual aspect.

Careful, CC Editor is visual mode will change the code.

quite a few of the editors mentioned do not produce valid coding so you need to be careful.
You can try Microsoft Sharepoint Designer which is totally free - just like Expression Web only you dont have to pay for it. You can get it here http://www.talkfrontpage.com/showthread.php?t=10332

The all-time best is Komodo IDE. It uses the browser right in the program, to give you the WYSIWYG result and Komodo IDE is the hacker's best friend.

Perhaps Artisteer developers shoudl consult Adobe. It is somewhat arrogant of Artisteer to expect designers to change their tool of choice and I even seem threads where they point the finger at Dreamweaver.
There seems ot be little point in offering a design tool which then requires designers to hand code it's output. Artisteer needs to resolve it's issues with Dreamweaver.

Where do you find this code in your html files????

@ Jimmmr
It should be in Jscript file of the template.

Hello!!!
I have the same problem with Adobe Dreamweaver CS5
The solution:
- Mozilla SeaMonkey v2.5.0
- BlueGriffon v1.3.1

You can also try "Live View" feature of Dreamweaver CS4 onwards.
