texte = > Does anyone have a short list of GUI HTML editors that work and >don't ? Not PageMill and not Claris HomePage. CyberStudio , yes ?Depends on what you mean by 'work'. All the editors work just fine except in one specific instance. You can't put any text at all in between rows in a table. I have dubbed this interstitial tags, and no GUI editors can deal with it -- they always throw the text outside the table, per some HTML RFC spec I'm sure.I like Symantec Visual Page. The table editor is 5x faster than PageMill. We use BBEdit (non-GUI) the most. For high-design work, we use a GUI first, then edit WebDNA manually with BBEdit.So if you are trying to design a table that has rows generated by [foundItems] loop, the GUI editors will throw [foundItems] outside the table and mess up your WebDNA. We suggest you use the GUI first to design the look of your page, and then later add the [foundItems] AND NEVER USE A GUI TO OPEN THAT PAGE AGAIN.Some editors (PageMill, I think) will also change your [ to %5B when inside an HREF tag. Visual Page doesn't do that, so that's another reason I like it.CyberStudio has exactly the same problem with interstitial tags as all the other GUIs.Please yell at the GUI publishers about this.
