Kevin -- I have used Cold Fusion studio on projects with goals that were quite close to your reqs below ... (client dictated). Often times I have used a simple text editor (notepad or vi). Of late I am leaning towards using Eclipse with some XML plugins.
Kenneth -- from past experience there is no such thing as a simple or static page. [Just as most of my projects start off as pilot projects and somewhere midstream get converted to production projects]. The data interspersed with markup in simple static pages ... will be needed at some point in time in some other application. Content at some point may be needed to be repurposed into some other data format. All such needs can be best serviced by authoring the content in a format that separates data from markup and allows conversions with [relative] ease. XML seems to be the best format, ease to author and easy to use. CSS can be used for simple static sheet display and XSL can be used for more complex styling. XML is also a cooler sounding, three letter acronym ... however, you have to pivot on the balls of your feet, lean back and roll your eyes up in their sockets while emphatically stating that XML is the way to go ... it will have everyone in awe!!! :-) [There is a reason I am known as the Resident Cynic ;-] Conrad Kevin Bennett wrote: > I don't know, I was just being cattle and following the herd.
