Spaces not tabs in code view
I've read all the answers I could find but DreamWeaver CS3 does not seem to behave as stated.
In code view, usinf PHP when I press the tab key I get a small a symbol that I think represents a tab. I set up in preferences to use two spaces for indent and a tab size if two.
When I View/Code View/Show Hidden Characters and press hte tab hey I get a very small a and a space, if I use two spaces I get two dots to represent the two spaces.
This caused a problem when my code is views in a different editor like text mate. The tabs are shown as tabs not two spaces fracking up my beautiful, painstakingly created formatting :-)
Any ideas, I've been using DreamWeave so long I hate to have to switch to a new text editor :-(

Sorry, dude...
Maybe if you weren't trying to be the Picasso of indents, you'd get more work done...
