Subject: Re: HTML Editors
Personally one of the best editors I have found is available from
Allaire. It is called Homesite. It has drag and drop compatibility. IT
provides support for all of the latest web based tags ans scripts such
as Microsoft's ASP (Active Server Pages) Allaire's Cold Fusion and Java.
It has full WYSIWYG capability either via the editor's own browser or
through another such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. It also features
the option of a built in HTML Validator, very useful for checking
compatability in different browsers and I believe, though I can't
remember that you can run tests to determine how long the page would
take to download at various connection speeds.
I have used Microsoft's Frontpage and whilst it is a good general
purpose editor, I ahve found that sometimes there are compatibility
problems when a page is viewed in a browser other than Internet
Explorer. You do have to be careful of your HTML tags as some of thme
can be proprietory.
