In DMX 2004 the default templates are located in c:\PATH TO\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\DocumentTypes\NewDocuments. Edit "Default.html" to your liking and save.

Thanks for the links for the explanations. While I still think it's crazy that it did that - at least I know WHY now! :D Excellent! Thanks for the links for the explanations.

Basically like this: <td><img etc. etc.></td> That wasn't it - there was no extra space in the html after the TD and before the /TD tag… Basically like this:

There's an article on DevEdge describing the issue very well: http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/img-table/ I believe this is also the reason the "Almost standard" mode was introduced in later Netscape and Mozilla builds: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/doctypes.html http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/quirklist.html This behavior is actually correct acording to the W3C standards.

It will show up with no space at the end.</td> <td> This stuff will have a space after it. </td> I don't know if this applies to Netscape 6, or even if this is the problem you specifically had, but I remember back in the NN 4.x days, Netscape would enter a space in a table cell if the closing table data tag was on a separate line. example:
