1.  In your cart control panel, click 'Edit Products' and click on a product (or click 'Add Product' if you have not added the product yet) and choose the product you want the HTML for.  The next page gives you the HTML you want to copy.  Copy the full block of HTML (it's small).

2. Switch to Dreamweaver, position the cursor in the page where you want to insert the product to sell and drop open your 'Edit" menu and select 'Paste HTML'

 

2.  After pasting it into Dreamweaver - it will look something similar to the screen below (along with the picture and text description the way you want it in the page)

Dreamweaver will sometimes try to be 'helpful' closing form tags for you and otherwise messing up changes you try to make.  To turn this 'feature' off and keep the code you want, do the following:

1.  In Dreamweaver, Choose Edit > Preferences.
2.  Choose the Code Rewriting category.
3.  Disable these options:
Fix Invalidly Nested and Unclosed Tags
Remove Extra Closing Tags
Both of the Special Characters options
4.  Select the Never Rewrite HTML: In Files with Extensions option, and add .html to the text box next to that option.
5.  Select the Warn When Fixing or Removing Tags option. This ensures that if Dreamweaver does attempt to make any changes, it will inform you of what it's doing.
6.  Click OK to dismiss the Preferences dialog box.
