Can't open in Dreamweaver

Hello all, I am a new user and am having a problem with Artisteer. I create the template for Website Company Home page and the program itself works great and I export it just fine to a folder.

I then open it in dreamweaver to add new pages and insert the links and text etc. There in lies the problem it takes forever to make even the slightest change. I assumed it was a problem with a very large style.css, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary that I am used to.

I removed all the references from the html file to any of the style sheets and got the plain old text version which moves real fast but I can't get an idea of the look until I actually upload it, and I can't select the styles I want for the other pages etc.

So I tried deleting all the headers and then called the styles.css al by itself and got the error:
Quote :
A recursive style import was found while trying to add style.css. Please resolve this error by editing the file in an external text editor and try again.


I tried opening it also in Frontpage, and that was a joke, I always have problems with Microsoft products so I wasn't surprised.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to get through this? Is there something I can pull out of the style.css and put it back in later?

Please advise
Thanks in advance
April

Was this issue ever addressed by Artisteer staff? I am having the exact same problem - editing the Artisteer-generated HTML file for the website homepage is just about impossible to edit because of the delay it takes for a refresh to occur.

I like the application, but can't use it unless this issue is fixed.

Hi Bob,

This is not really an Artisteer issue.

WYSIWYG editors work find on code generated internally, but will always struggle ( and likely change and muck up the code ) with other code.

Just use an everyday html editor, like HTML-Kit
