Their supported text editor now is Text Wrangler, which I think is free. It claims to "understand" HTML, and lots of other languages, which I take to mean that it will "pretty up" HTML with colours and formatting. We use Web Design, which has the in-built ability to display the web page as you change the HTML. It is OK, but I am not sure that I would recommend it. It crashes a bit (but usually only immediately after you have saved the file!), it has funny behaviour over our network and has a way of hanging on to pictures despite you having specified a new/different one. We paid for Web Design, but not a lot I think. Not a specific answer to you problem, I realise, but you could look at a program like Web Design (there are a number to choose from ot there) rather than ditching your OS.
