Dreamweaver Changes Code

#1

Absolutely horrified - DW8.0.2 appears to act like a Microsoft product and
changes code on opening.

I have only become aware that after having corrected every fine detail to meet
W3C validation - including changing from
<body onLoad=
to
<body onload=

to comply . Just fine!

Now whenever I return to open that same file to modify content only - DW has
reverted my code to <body onLoad=.

I thought only FrontPage did that. YUK!

Can someone please explain and tell me what property setting would stop same -
or is there a workaround.

Thanks in anticipation

<body onload=
<body onLoad=

what doctype.
what preferences for page type, code rewriting, code formatting, etc.

Because you probably have your setting in DW set to rewrite your code.

Any further help or comments would be appreciated!

It appears that no one has an answer for this.

I've looked all over the place. I've talked Adobe support and the message I
got was... we have no reports of this behavior. Huh. Well...I noticed this in
DW CS3 Mac so I thought well, I'll just have to use Macromedia DW 8. But I'll
still be able to use the rest of CS3 Design Suite. I just recently upgraded to
CS4 Design Suite for various reasons. I had high hopes that maybe the
development team had fixed this problem. NOPE! I now have CS4 and I'm still
having to use DW 8 for my application. I've tried the Never Rewrite Code
preference. Does nothing for me. I'm having a hard time with this. I'm
finding no answers. I see that last thread here was posted in 2006. I want to
think that is because the problem has been resolved in some way shape or
fashion.

Does anybody have anything for me to try? Thanks in advance for anytime you
have for this particular topic.

Here's a video that illustrates the problem.

Hello Adobe. Can I please be responsible for my own code? Please? Thanks
for the help but I'm good. Really. Please tell me how to turn off your
helpful hands. Or can one of you nice folks about there on the innerweb help
one of a growing list of frustrated people out who 'liked' to use DW to write
their own markup and code?

Thanks

Thanks for the note Baxter. I've read through and tried both of those suggestions but I just don't think they work as they suggest. Still rewriting unfortunately.

Thanks
