The very nature of HTML means that what you see is never what you get.


My advice is to use a simple text editor (e.g. Context) , and a
selection of browsers to test against, or sling some money at e.g.
Dreamweaver. However I spend nearly as long taking randomly generated
HTML statements out of my wife's Dreamweaver output as she does putting
them in.

In the end HTML is a programming language, and should be learnt as such.

In other words, you might as well stick your thumb up your arse and whistle
Dixie.

If that does not appeal, or you are already too full of shite
post in News:alt.comp.freeware there are quite a number of very
good free HTML editors. The subscribers there can give good
advice on which they think is the best.

By the way if you try out the thumb up the arse remedy you have
to whistle in Dolby!!

Oddi.

Leave out WYSIWYG and notepad is the answer.

That's how I do it.

Try Seamonkey Composer:

This supercedes Mozilla Composer and NVU (both v good but no longer
supported).

That's what I use for quick one-page HTML creation at work. For any
more major development of several interlinked pages you need something
a bit better to handle the overview of the whole thing.

I use Kompozer:
http://www.kompozer.net/

It's the successor to NVU, it's free and you can switch between WYSIWYG
and editing the HTML directly.

No, it's not. It's a markup language.

It has no control constructs.
