My first question is really trivial, but I noticed that Dreamweaver likes to display my PHP includes code like this...
               <?php
include ("../../../../includes/state/themes.php"); ?> When I do a search and replace function, it often jumps onto another element's line, like this:
</table>               <?php
include ("../../../../includes/state/themes.php"); ?> I changed the code to this: <?php include ("../../../../includes/state/themes.php"); ?> and it seems to work just fine. But I just wondered if there's some potential problem or convention that I should be aware of. * * * * * * * * * * I also wondered if it's OK to include just a portion of another element, like a table or layer, in a PHP include, like this: <body> <div id="main"> <table> <tr>
    <td>First Row</td>
</tr> <?php include ("../../../../includes/bottom.php"); ?> </body> (The include would include the remainder of the table and div main's closing tag, </div>) Again, I tried it, and it seems to work just fine. I just wondered if there's something I should be warned about. Thanks!
