Looking for M$ Frontpage Alternative

**Hitman** · December 7th, 2006

I am looking for a good WYSIWYG HTML Editor to use instead of Front Page. I have heard of Sea Monkey, but I have never used it. Was wondering if any of you know about Sea Monkey or a better editor.

I had a few HTML editors on last machine. Will look at CD's I made of it and answer wheh I find them. Hang on a few.

I think I tried NVU before:
NVU website
It's free and will run on most platforms.

If you have the cash, Dreamweaver is my personal choice, best and cleanest code generation with cross-browser compatibility. Unlike Frontpage, with it's trash code and IE only compatibility. God, I hate Frontpage, I'd rather type the code in notepad.

I am just doing simple stuff for PHP nuke. Yes Front Page trashes the code. I am running into issues with it. I have Dreamweaver, its just more then I need really.

When I was big into making webpages I used notepad or textpad. Textpad is a pretty good alternative, but I don't think that it has a preview option.

I'd say if you already have Dreamweaver, than use that.......it's the best i've used so far. As far as being more than what you need, you don't need to use the stuff you don't need ;) I'd also recommend using code view actually coding it out rather than using layout view and dropping stuff in cause DW adds some crap to code as well.

Ok I am good now thanks.

I agree, Dreamweaver has the cleanest interface, stuff that you don't need is out of the way anyway.

And if you do need it, adding embedded flash, creating a drop-down menu, etc.. It's there when you need it.
