Hi,
I'm looking for a good free of not too expensive WYSIWYG HTML & CSS editor.
I like using Adobe Golive (for it's drag n drop and CSS positioning) and Dreamweaver but my trails hve expired and I feel that they are too expensive (for me, who builds eh... tries to build websites as a hobby).
Also, I'm not very good at coding.
Any suggestions? (I use both Linux with KDE 3.5 or Windows XP)
Thanks!
All the best,
Dennis
P.s. Other editors I've installed and looked at:
- HotDog Professional 7 (no WYSIWYG / drag n drop design mode)
- EVRsoft First Page 2006 (so so, but might work out)
- HTML Kit (better suited for real coders)
- NVU
- Quanta Plus
- NetObjects Fusion 10 looks promising, but where can I download a trial version?

Hi Matthias,
I know I'm at the WB forum. :-D
Just thought with so many people developing websites and the really helpful WB community, perhaps someone has got a good suggestion.

Dennis
I'd like to chime in on the CSS front. I've tried many packages that were supposed to ease CSS editing, but none actually deliver on that promise. If I want to edit a template, or think of creating a new one from scratch, and I am not a coder either, there doesn't seem to be anything simple available right now.
I typically use Dreamweaver for editing HTML, and it works well in that regard, but for CSS, it's a manual process. Who wants that when you can code in designer view for everything else? That makes no sense to me.
Have you guys ever tried "NVU"? The Mozilla Editor ... give it a try, at least you don't have to pay for it ...
I do 90% of my coding with a standard (ok advanced) texteditor called "jedit". My Dad used to use "arachnophilia" (but I think it doesn't exist anymore) and my sis thinks "phase5" is the right one for her.
cheers

Hello,
ok then i give my favourite Editr also to the best. It is called notepad++ and can edit and convert a lot of filetypes. It is small, free, fast and could be used as WYSIWYG with your browser.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions.
For text editing I will definitely test jedit & notepad++.
As for CSS, I'm able to code a template manually but always struggle with the menu's (in my case drop down menu's):
- Positioning
- Colors
- And fixing IE problems
Again thanks!
Regards,
Dennis

but if you work on a mac like i do... go for http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ (http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/)
I've heard good things about this one, works under Windows or Mac OS X:

Just downloaded the demo, and the included CSS tutorial is very nice indeed.

Hi dennisvr,
i know NetobjectsFusion up to Version 9 and it is a HTML-Generator, no editor. That`s important!
Maybe you will like AceHTML 6 Pro, which i found on a CD of a german PC-Magazine. You can get a trial-version here: http://software.visicommedia.com/en/products/acehtml/ (http://software.visicommedia.com/en/products/acehtml/).
I dont know, where you are living. But if german language is ok, maybe Superhtml is a choice for you. The trialversion coul be found here: http://www.superhtml.de/de/download.html (http://www.superhtml.de/de/download.html)
The full version (7) also was distributet whith a german pc-magazine.

netobject fusion is ok but unless it has been upgraded drastically, its really not an editor of code.
kompozer is a patched version of nvu because development of it seems to have stalled.
topstyle lite is a VERY good and free CSS editor, and you can upgrade to the html/css editor pro version. topstyle is as close as i've seen to a wysiwyg one.
there's a new one called cssvista that looks good too, but i haven't had a chance to try it yet.
there's also a simple one sorry, can't remember name (look under freeware section on snapfiles.com ) that lets you drag & drop style design of site. but you'll want to clean it up later.
