Tout d'abord, bonjour à la communauté, je suis tout nouvellement inscrit ici. 😉

Mon premier post sera de demander s'il est possible d'empêcher Dreamweaver de créer des styles automatiques. J'ai créé mes propres CSS avec Notepad++, mais Drw ne s'en contente pas puisqu'il créé un nouevau style à la moindre modif en direct, côté Wysiwyg (Style1, style2, etc...).

Donc au bout d'un moment, on se retrouve avec des quantités affolantes de styles créés automatiquement dans la liste des styles.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Found. In Preferences/General, uncheck "Use CSS instead of Html tags".

CS3 is 18-year-old software. It's way beyond its 'replace me' date and should not be used for current projects.

I urge you to use a modern replacement. If not Dreamweaver, then something else.

CODE EDITORS:
-- Adobe Dreamweaver CC - https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html
-- Codespaces (free, browser-based) - https://github.com/features/codespaces
-- Notepad++ (free) - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
-- Nova (Mac only, formerly called Coda) - https://nova.app/

-- Sublime Text - http://www.sublimetext.com/
-- Visual Studio Code (free) - https://code.visualstudio.com/

Hope that helps.

Hi, Nancy, and thanks for your reply.
Most of the software you suggest is either a non-wysiwyg editor or has no local applications. Pinegrow, for example, is not really as fast and efficient a wysiwyg as Dreamweaver.
Microsoft Visual Code is not WYSIWYG unless you add a plugin, which is very, very bad.

I didn't upgrade my CS3 version of Dreamweaver because some useful features disappeared in CS5 (for example, it's impossible to put an image directly into the table background, you have to code).
I love coding, I love css, but for me Dreamweaver is excellent because it allows me to work like a graphic designer.

Age has nothing to do with the quality of software, because sometimes upgrades turn out to be disastrous and are mistakes (migration from Windows 7 to Windows 8...).

Html, CSS, Jquery, etc. haven't really changed much in 18 years. 😉

=========

That's factually incorrect. A great many things have changed. For starters, nobody uses tables for layouts. That ended with mobile phones & tablets.

JavaScript advances each year. The code we use today bears little resemblance to the code in CS3.

Today's coders use CSS Flexbox , CSS Grids or Bootstrap to build responsive websites. CS3 can't cope with any of them.
Modern code consists of HTML5, CSS3 and ES6 JavaScript or higher. CS3 doesn't recognize any of them.
Forget about advanced code containing calc (), viewport or fractional units. No WYSIWYG in CS3.

In short, you're not doing yourself or your visitors any favors by clinging to obsolete CS3. If anything, it's suffocating your coding potential. At some point, you'll have to find replacements you can use.

Also, CS3 is officially dead. The activation servers are decommissioned.
