I downloaded and installed DreamWeaver 8; it does indeed show the
includes graphically. Pretty nice!
My only gripe is that DW8 is not very helpful when it comes to editing
the included files -- it appears you can only edit them as separate
files, and if the include in question contains a set of <tr> tags, or
other markup that depends on the context of the file where it gets
included from, what you see is definitely *not* what you get. Also,
according to the DW8 on-line help, you should be able to select an
include in the Design view, but I can't get that to work (maybe because
my includes are all inside <table> elements?).
All in all it looks like a big step forward but there's room for
improvement yet.
Thanks for the pointer, though; also, thanks to the others who pointed
out Content Management systems. I think CMS is overkill for a small
site like ours, but it's certainly something I'll put in my bookmarks
for future (more ambitious) projects.
