A quick and dirty (and free) tool is to use IE6. It surprising produces
very clean HTML. Take a look at:

utorials/html_editor.asp.
As for me, I prefer to use "Visual" notepad - edit the HTML source
directly - because I use a lot of javascript. It is not hard once you know
the basics. You can download the very excellent editor component SynEdit
from SourceForge and in no time create a syntax highlighted HTML source
editor yourself.

Hi all
I'm brand new to web design and want to hit the ground running with an
advanced toolset. I would like to use a product that enables a complete
novice like myself, to put together a basic web site easily, yet has the
power & flexibility that an experienced web developer would want. The idea
is, once I get familiar with things and then want to get more fancy and dig
deeper, the toolset I'm using needs to already have all the advanced
features - so that I can grow into it. So the toolset needs to cover the A
to Z of website design (with nothing left out).
At the moment, I just want to create a personal website, but then I want to
move on to creating a commercial website for a business I want to create.
I understand Delphi 7 has some good web stuff? And I've just been reading a
little about Delphi Web Scripting. Ideally I'd like to use something within
Delphi, but I'm not opposed to something completely different. A colleague
uses Dream Weaver, but I don't know much about it. If I could find a product
that is seamless that would be great - i.e. where I don't need to learn a
bit of html, java script, some other script, asp syntax, etc. to tie it all
together (maybe that's a pipe dream?)
I'm happy if the product is open source, or costs up to $400. I can't afford
to spend 1000's!
Any suggestions of products to check out or things I should know?
P.S. I also want to look at whether I get my ISP to host, or use my own PC
as the Web server, as I have Jet Start. What are the pros & cons of each?
