I have upgraded from dreamweaver and find that I cannot easily edit a large html table full of links
In DW I can use the design view to just drag a link to a different cell in the table
Here even my list of HTML links doesn't sort properly even when I use the A-Z button
I think if I could just click to highlight a cell in the preview and then see which one it was in the code it would be very helpful - after that dragging code seems easy
I need design view like DreamWeaver

We are currently trying to find out how is it possible to tell where have you clicked in the IE preview area. It is a technical problem that we can not solve so far. But rest assured, we are aware of the need for this feature.
We do not have a design area because our editor is a code editor and not a WYSIWYG. If you really want to create webpages by using your mouse, dreamweaver might just be better.

Karlis, have you tried firebug yet? It does this. you go into 'inspect' mode and click on the page. up comes the code in the html AND the related code in the CSS - including all of the ancestors its currently inheriting from.
I know I'm always talking about firebug (it's worth talking about!) but I'm mentioning it again here because you said that you were trying to figure out how to do it with IE. Sounds like a nightmare. Firebug already does most of it for you and it's open source. What's not to like? Here's the source: http://fbug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ and here's the actual browser plugin: http://www.getfirebug.com/
I can't imagine any of your customers would think it unreasonable for you to say 'if you want to click in preview to highlight code, you must use FF for preview'.
try it! There's more there. The firebug console can pull incredible tricks - including communicating with external programs...
