I correctly sliced the layout, but when I go and link one of the buttons, for some godforsaken reason, Dreamweaver creates this blue outline around the box, and stretching the layout, which is really obnoxious
Anybody know why????

This has nothing to do with Dreamweaver and is a normal behavior of HTML. When a link is added to an image, a blue border will go around it by default. You can remove that border by adding this code to your CSS (in your <head> section):
<style type="text/css">
img {border:none;}
</style>
You could also set the border value of the image to 0, but then you will need to do so for each image which isn't the best method.
<style type="text/css">
img {border:none;}
</style>
You could also set the border value of the image to 0, but then you will need to do so for each image which isn't the best method.

If you code your page correctly, it will look the same.
But just like any HTML editor, you should always use the Code view and forget about the Design view.

naw, even if the code validates it doesnt always render properly. I am using dreamweaver 8. It may always work for static html pages, but pages with includes or lots of floating items they are not always rendered properly. Maybe its because I am still running version 8, but I do not agree that it always does.

He didn't say if you write valid code that it would look the same. He said that you had to "code your page correctly." What correct means is really left to the eye of the beholder.
However, the difference between valid and correct is a can of worms that i don't think this topic is cut out for. The point to be made is that it's not the WYSIWYG editor that causes problems, its a lack of understanding in HTML.

It's true about Dreamweaver that it doesn't render the page exactly the same, especially if you're using absolute positioning. Sometimes it makes the object that's absolutely positioned show up in the wrong place within Dreamweaver, but when you preview it in the browser it's just fine. That's just a limitation to the rendering capabilities of Dreamweaver, but as long as it looks right across browsers you're good to go!
