dreamweaver is the best, but frontpage is SO user friendly. you can open each file in both, so it is an option for beginners

Sorry, you asked for the best, not the cheapest... LOL

Microsoft Frontpage is probably the cheapest of any "real" WYSIWYG web production software and hands-down the mst user friendly.

dreamweaver is not that hard to figure out. There are loads of tutes on the web. I learned all I know by myself. I'm somewhat of a tech geek, all self taught.

If you wanna create something you will like, then it's worth learning a good text editor program to do it, IMHO.

Cheapness is not an option on any level. :P

fotoman, I am 100% with you. Dreamweaver is the way to go. I've tried 'em all & it's the only one I still use.

I still prefer the #1 web page editor. "Wordpad." Works wonders and you don't need to worry about those silly WYSIWyGs. Also much easier to understand where problems are occuring.

You're no fun! ;^)

Actually, I use tables also but many times will nest the table inside a div tag. There are many choices with CSS - I find it a very helpful tool and quite flexible.


LOL - CSS is certainly the way to go but the browser inconsistencies (mostly IE) and the 1/2 implementations between the versions of CSS just give you keyboard marks across the forehead from pounding you head with it. The talk is that IE7 will help a lot - so in a decade or two when everybody upgrades it should be better :).

Tables or even layers are easier to think about but less flexible then CSS - except in cases where CSS don't &%&^% work properly :-)

Have you read JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook by Danny Goodman (O'Reilly publishing)? One of the most useful books I have in my library.

If you get it, check out Chapter 13, section 3, Controlling Postitioning Via a DHTML JavaScript Library. They have provided a library of API routines (DHTMLAPI.js) that is a great tool. Supports IE 4/Netscape 4 or later by using conditional statements, etc...

The ISBN: 0-596-00467-2

I agree with you in that coding for various browsers is a pain. Fortunately in most of my work the browser standard is currently set at IE 6. If a user has a complaint using a different browser...so sorry. ;^)
