Hello Beau,

Thanks a million for your response. I love kompozer. Seems like just
the ticket. &;-)

Forgive me for not using Google, but I figured if I spec'd all I was
looking for I'd get nothing. And if I asked for less than that I'd get a
ton of hits that wouldn't satisfy (insert table rows & columns, no
bloating, no errors introduced by the editor, HTML modifiable by hand).

Sorry about cross-posting too. I'll read up on it before I have another
desperate post to several newsgroups.

Thanks again.

Trish

P.S. I'm a Crimson user too.

I use a commercial product Namo WebEditor 2006 http://www.namo.com/
I got it because I wanted an HTML editor (other products seemed to
focus too much on the WYSISYG side) and site manager, but I've found
the table editing you're looking for to be a real time-saver. There
is some minor bloat in the form of auto-indentation (optional). Worse,
there is actual bloat if you paste into a cell in WYSISYG mode,

<tr>
<td>
<p>pasted content</p>
</td>
<td>typed content</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

so I just don't do that. Inserted <td>s are pre-filled with &nbsp;
but that is automatically replaced as you type in your content.

I've seen no bloat working with paragraphs and lists, or even
converting a group of <p>s into an <ul>.

The HTML editor is also a typing assistant. When you type the ">" of
an opening tag, it automatically adds the closing tag and leaves the
cursor in between ( <td>|</td> ), ready for the content. And if you
type a space instead ( <td(space) ) it opens a list of attributes. It
similarly helps compose CSS, though only within the <style> and
in-line portions of an HTML file. Oddly, it doesn't edit separate
.css files.

There are some other quirks such as double-clicking an attribute's
value including the closing quote, leaving you to re-type it, also
the validator doesn't catch "&" within URLs. The validator also says
it is "discarding" end tags that have no start tag. Made me scared
that it was deleting things I may have wanted to fix another way, then
I realized it was a translation error that should have said
"disregarding" so it can continue checking. Had I known it was a
Korean product I would have kept on looking, but overall I'm glad I
have it.

Hopefully some of this will be corrected in the update I'm now getting
but should give you some idea how the product works.
