Hi guys,<br />
<br />
I am looking for a good html WYCIWYG editor. It's not for me since I am more comftable with raw html, but it is for customer service people at our company. Basically, I need a dummy-proof html editor that will be able to Download <!--more--> folders from server and allow user to edit web pages with as little code as possible. Right now our reps use Microsoft FrontPage and it's pretty horrible since it adds a lot of unwanted code. We need something that will create as little unwanted code as possible and may be have support for JavaSctipt and CSS.<br />
Any suggestions on a good program?<br />
<br />
thanks a lot,<br />

Homesite is not a WYSIWYG, though... Yea, but he didn't ask for that, he asked for WYCIWYG. That's MY kinda editor, What You Code Is What You Get!<!--content-->Originally posted by ray326 <br />

I like the way you think, man.

webtekie use divs and css. Tables suck. css is that way to go if you want your code to be more accessable.<!--content-->Originally posted by webtekie <br />

The short answer is yes, you will actually want to use <div> tags since it technically defines a division of code as to where a <table> tag defines tabular data. When laying out a site, think of all of the sections you want and then create <div> tags with each using the id attribute to get them a unique name. As an example...<br />
<br />
<div id="header">Header goes here</div><br />
<div id="menu">Menu goes here</div><br />
<div id="content">Content goes here</div><br />
<div id="footer">Footer goes here</div><br />
<br />
You then use CSS to format and position them where you want them.<!--content-->question about CSS... do you use absolute or relative positioning?<!--content-->Absolute positioning should rarly be needed for much. When people absolutly position every (or nearly every) element on their page, they are doing themselves a disservice.<!--content-->ok, but why? maybe you could explain more or point me in the direction of a resource or article that explains css positioning and the advantages (and disadvantages) of using relative over absolute? thanks.<!--content-->Actually, I may have said that wrong above. I hold to my last statement, but absolute positioning is actually very useful, as long as the designer knows what they are doing. Usually, they do not.<br />
