I view knowing code the same as a designer knowing the basics of colour theory, the value of white space etc. - if you don't understand the guts how can you achieve the end result

An interesting case - I designed and maintained a site for a friend (a photographic society) who has since taken over maintenance. When he wanted to update the site, he imported it into GoLive. After much frustration (he was not getting what he saw!), he eventually made his updates by going into the code and cutting out the existing text and replacing it with his own. This from a guy who said he never wanted to look at HTML ever!

Like it or not, HTML is the building block for web and like it or not, if you don't understand the basics, you'll eventually get yourself into a pickle!
