What's the best FREEWARE WYSIWYG html editor?

[Leesa_Tay]

What would reccomend for a beginner who wants to create a webpage
without any HTML knowledge? Basically... looking for a FREEWARE
WYSIWYG editor that is easy to use and will produce decent results.

A friend of mine said to use Netscape COMPOSER. Is that any good or
are there better choices?

Thanks in advance

HTML knowledge.

HTML is a language for describing the semantics of a document and its
relationship to other documents. WYSIWYG doesn't make much sense in that
context. What you see is how a browser attempts to represent those
semantics and relationships to the user.

A friend of mine said to use Netscape COMPOSER. Is that any good or
are there better choices?

Nvu, the stand alone editor developed from the codebase of composer, is
probably the least worst graphical HTML editor that can be had for no
charge. I don't consider it good enough at generating HTML to replace hand
coding - and that's without asking it to guess at the semantics I'm trying
to represent.

The OP multi posted and I answered her elsewhere.

Didn't mean to offend you though, but we can keep working on it if you'd
like.
I should have looked first and realized I was on SidNet.

What you're asking is contradictory, almost illogical. You can not
create a webpage that will work in web standards compliant browsers
without understanding and using HTML knowledge.
The best policy is to use and understand design principles, HTML
knowledge, semantics, which pitfalls to avoid, etc.

WYSIWYG editor that is easy to use and will produce decent results.

You or your friend will never achieve decent results in any area without
understanding what you're doing.

I recommend first of all knowledge and then Nvu 1.0 (or higher).

When you where a newbie and didnt really know anything - did you know
how to do a cross post - or the fact that you could - or even that they
actually existed .

Spanking cost extra.

I gave you my answer in alt.www.webmaster. You can read it there.

Well, that is a load of BS.

 

[Leesa_Tay]

Thanks guys for all your help. yes... I habve been known to cross post
at times as many times in the past I have posted to newsgroups, and
haven't really had any bites.

I am just trying to get as much information as I can. If someone wants
to spank me... you won't be punishing me that's for sure. LMAO

Thank You

Get yourself two things:

1) A book from the Dummies or Idiot's series on HTML.

2) A copy of HTML-kit from http://www.chami.com/

We were all newbies once

I don't think there's anything wrong with starting out being spoon fed. I wrote my first web page in Microsoft Word and just saved it as a web page. Now, I write Microsoft Excel VBA applications that write web pages for me with raw HTML code.

You have to start somewhere.

NVU is fine as a freeware, WYSIWYG HTML writer. Once you've designed your web site, click the "Source" tab and see the HTML code behind what you're seeing to see what's going on behind the scene.

Have fun.
