Is it possible to develop a site and then import the generated code into Dreamweaver without any problems?
I have someone who wishes to complete a course assignment using FW Pro, but the requirement is for the end product to be submitted using DW. No way round it unfortunately.
If it is possible, any tips on pitfalls, things to avoid etc, would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

Absolutely!
One thing to consider is, perhaps, removing the generator tag near
the top of the page that declares Freeway as the tool used to make
it. Another is to consider how to handle the CSS. You can set Freeway
to put the text CSS styles into an external document - which is
probably what’s preferred for the course assignment, although it
isn’t by any means the only correct way to work.
If CSS positioning is used then Freeway’s object-related CSS styles
will still be stored within the document. These can be taken out by
hand, but if you’re working with more than one page it can get
complex.
The typical Dreamweaver HTML & CSS code will be slightly different
from Freeway’s output, but not dramatically - and because Dreamweaver
is at heart an HTML editor, it has little to no trouble working
with what Freeway makes.

I have just done this a couple of times with no real problems, as it was a lot easier to create the pages in FW Pro than in DW.
I just created the pages in FW Pro as per normal then exported them. I then created a new site in DW and pointed to the exported FW Pro files. Worked like a dream for me. Once in DW, I created a template from one of the pages and assigned editable areas so that the FW Pro generated code would be unchanged.

Thanks for the help!
I thought it “should” be possible, but whether or not it was doable, is something else. The site itself should be relatively straightforward, but we shall have to see.

Hi Tacitus.
It is possible, albeit a bit long winded. Basically, you need to open
your index.html page in Dreamweaver, and then save the site as
Dreamweaver files. I’ve only ever done the first bit, so am not sure
about the rest.
I’ll have a go at this tonight and email tomorrow
