It's ok. You are experiencing just some of the things that always 
make me give up bothering with these things. I know folk who are 
very experienced at web design, even very good at it and who code 
to modern economical standards and who know quite a bit about 
Dreamweaver (to take a case of a classy favourite). They admit to 
using it for website management rather than for creation. Some of 
these management things are time savers I will assume on trust - 
though do not use them myself. The management is not something 
that is open to my inspection. But the code from code generators 
is plain to see!

btw.. it is not really code! Just a convenient way of talking. It 
is HTML mark up and CSS. Sort of sui generis stuff in a way... 
though I stand to be corrected if it is part of a more general 
class of activity... :)
