Web Design Mismatch: Dreamweaver & Delphi

Resistance is futile. You might recall my earlier post about Dreamweaver MX 2004 messing up ASP.NET pages developed with Delphi 2005 or Visual Studio .NET 2003.

I've now come to the conclusion that it is not possible to properly combine Dreamweaver templates (.DWT files) and Delphi's ASP.NET visual designer.

Shortly put, Delphi insists on certain order of the HTML, HEAD and TITLE tags, which isn't suitable in Dreamweaver's mind. The result is a ASPX page that is part of the template, but cannot be updated to reflect changes in the template file.

Tough luck, it seems.
