Re: example code pasted here...

that goes with the "dreamweaver fatal exception" thread?

1) get OUT of Layout mode. (dw menu-->View-->Tables-->Regular table editing)

2) that example is bad table syntax.
Top row has three columns
Bottom row has two columns (and no colspan attributes)

so you are right- there really is NO bottom right cell, although Layout view
and Dw regular view do ~kind of~ show one there. But you can't click inside
of it in Regular view- that's the clue the syntax is wrong.

For that table to work and be valid- need to either add another <td></td> in
the bottom <tr>, or remove a <td></td> from the top row.

In code view- i don't think there's a way to straighten that mess out in a
point and click GUI.

i'd say the Fatal exception is a Fact Of Life- there's no way to program an
application to deal with every possible instance of bad html syntax it may
come across.

Hmmm... I have to disagree here. It should fail gracefully, not crash.
There
is just a flaw in the internal error handling that allows the fatal
exception.

That would be my one big complaing about DWMX. Too often it crashes without
warning. It doesn't seem to be programmed to be very robust. I've learned to
save often ... very often.
