Mozilla Composer was my personal favorite. All of the editing features and a clean professional GUI, for free. Wrote beautiful code, too. I'm currently converting a site with ~400 obsessively Dreamweavered pages, and I'm seeing spaghetti code that makes MSHTML look well-formed. We're talking <font><b><br></b><font></font></font> here, in every possible nesting combination. And I can't just tidy out the font tags, because font size was used instead of <h2> and <h3> for headings. Dreamweaver's main strength, to me, was its ftp client. Much easier to use than WS_FTP or Fetch or even modern clients like WinSCP or Transmit. But as an editor for markup? Harmful. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
