by the way working in designer is not only horrible in terms of accessibility, it also adds useless style attributes which should be carefully specified in css and not inline. I never use it, in fact, it's better that I didn't, working with hands have made me capable to write the entire html/css in notepad! Also, with intellisense, markup is far better than coding everything by hand.
