easy WYSIWYG html editor?

[jnr]

Hi,

Could you recommend me a good, stable and easy-to-use WYSIWYG html editor?

Here they recommend Namo and Netobjects:

Any experience with these?

And how good and easy is the new free NVU?

Thanks a lot for the feedback

Download the Mozilla 1.7 suite and in it is COMPOSER, which is one of the best WYSIWYG editors out there, and it is free. :)

Also, Nvu >> http://nvu.com

you havent said they need to be free so here's a list:

Microsoft frontpage

Adobe Golive

Macromedia Dreamweaver

Nvu doesn't support javascript... at least AFAIK... just FYI

Dreamweaver. You have to legally pay for it, but google can be your friend... :ninja: :shifty:

I am going to de-recormend NetObjects, I personally think it is one of the worst HTML editors I have ever seen. You can't go wrong with Dreamweaver, Namo Web Editor or even FrontPage.

Enhanced HTML 2002 The best WYSWYG there is around.

Full WYSWYG interface for quick and painless editing of your web pages

Built in FTP program to load your site onto the net.

Dreamweaver is the BEST. End of...

Does nobody else use Composer? It is so easy and it is totally free! I figured more folks would be using it, given how capable it is.

I've used Mozilla Composer, but I'm more of a straight-to-the-code kind of guy. I use Vim. [vim.org]

However, if you truly need a WYSIWYG editor then I recommend Dreamweaver MX 2004. [macromedia.com] The web guys at our firm use it with some degree of success, and they don't have very many complaints.

By the way, we develop internally for Gecko (the Mozilla browser and Mozilla Firefox rendering engine), and Dreamweaver MX 2004 supposedly makes this very easy with standards compliance right out-of-the-box. Of course, that's just what the web guys tell me.

Thanks for the responses,

I?ll give Dreamweaver a try :-)

A lot of people have suggested Dreamweaver, but personally I dont like it that much. Its good in some aspects, like the half html half wysiwyg window, but I find the program annoying in other areas. Like how it will it auto resize tables on you without even you knowing until its too late and your whole layout is shot T_T.... thats why I went back to notepad.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with him there.

You mean Front Page 2003, right? All the previous versions had hugely bloated code, if I remember right. 2003 fixed that, or so I read. :)

[DrunkenMaster]

HTML-KIT http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ . Its free and I like the layout on it.

who cares if it has bloated code? iit's not written for performance like a browser or something

[DWk]

AceHTML. I like it :)

i use it too, but its not wysiwyg....

[semifamous]

2 free ones:

NVU which was already mentioned: http://www.nvu.com

and 1st Page: http://www.evrsoft.com

Dreamweaver is the best, but the cost is pretty painful for most people.

Well, there are many of us out there who don't want to write bloated, proprietary microsoft type code. Front Page 2003 was altered because of the massive outcry from developers who said they did not want it either. Microsoft listened and Front Page 2003 as a result produces much cleaner code. Happy ending, all the way around. :)

If you have lots of visitors and use up lots of bandwidth, the cleaner and more efficient the code, the less you will have to pay for bandwidth.
