I'm running into a problem with other HTML editors where they
automatically do "helpful" things "for me" which are contrary to what I
want and actually harmful to the final result. One example is converting
the ASP indicators to something unrecognizable which results in the ASP
code being interpreted as regular HTML. Another example is adding the
<body> and </body> keywords to an HTML file which break an <iframe>
implementation when used as an <iframe> target. I realize that frames in
general is depreciated but this is the issue I'm trying to avoid -
having someone else decide what's good for me and making automatic
modifications to what I write to enforce it.
Does Seamonkey's HTML Editor make these kinds of changes to HTML which
is saved or require them in order to save the file? If so, is there a
way to disable those kinds of modifications so that what I finally save
consists only of modifications I make? I'm not talking about generated
HTML for explicit actions I take (such as creating or modifying a
table), I'm talking about modifications which are "made for me" without
my knowledge.
Thanks for any feedback.
Every WYSIWYG HTML editor makes such suggestions/changes. And every one
of them creates dubious code. Some of them create horrible code.
The only - ONLY - answer is to learn HTML and CSS and use a plain-text
editor to write your pages.
Every page on my sites is done this way.
Then you validate:
http://validator.w3.org/
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Then you correct.
Then you (hopefully) have a good site.
