BlueGriffon (http://bluegriffon.org/) has been recommended here
previously.
I am using Mageia2 and BlueGriffon is not offered. Bluefish is
offered.
However it seems way to complicated for a simple user. Seamonkey is
easy
for me to code. I have nothing fancy on my site. The only problem I
have
is being forced to use windows-1252 charset. When I start a new html
the
default is ISO-8859-1 but it is saved as windows-1252. I shall
continue
to use it and see if there are problems with the website.
Thanks for everybodies help. Gary
Okay, I poked around a while and found how to change it.
In location bar enter "about:config" without the quotes and hit Enter.
In the search box enter "charset" w/o quotes.
Find the pref "intl.charset.default", double click it, change the
encoding to whatever you want.
This is what I changed it to:
intl.charsetmenu.composer.cache;ISO-8859-1. Does this automatically get
saved when I close it?
Yes.
I tried the composer again and saved the html as the ISO. When I open it
again it is the windows-1252. I used a split screen and watched the
about.config change from the ISO to windows as I opened the html.
That is truly odd.
I go back to about:config and I have this:
intl.charsetmenu.composer.cache;windows-1252
It's stubborn. I changed about:config in 2 other places to show the ISO
and they were saved.
Appreciate your help. Gary
Do you have a user.js file in your profile?
Does this happen in Safe Mode?
Create a new profile. Does it still happen after you change about:config?
I'm not sure I have a profile.
You have a profile. See:

I have been using Seamonkey as my html
editor only for about the least 2 years. I do not use the web browser
for the internet. It was about 2-3 weeks ago that the window charset
first appeared. I changed Seamonkey to work offline and changed the
about:config to the ISO. Restarted SM and opened a html and got both
window and iso now. I will just have to be careful and make sure I save
with the ISO. Appreciate your help. Gary
Are you saying you've effectively solved the issue?
