I've posted a few times...and several people have suggested that I drop
FrontPage...

I'm ready to do that now... :)

Please let me know what you recommened I use...It can be one program
(FrontPage-like) or a combination of that AND straight coding.

I'll start the list:

1. straight coding
2. ?

Thanks for the help.

I manually code all my HTML. However, I read that Nvu 1.0 was just
released yesterday. See <URL:http://www.mozillazine.org/> for the
announcement. It can be downloaded from either
<URL:http://www.nvu.com/> or
<URL:http://nvu.viapanda.com/1.0/changelog/> "for Windows, Mac,
Linspire5, FC3, Linux 2.6.10, and for the first time Mandriva."

I use Mozilla as my Web browser because I want a browser that
complies with Web standards. See <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>.

I have been using Nvu for a while under Linux. Haven't tried Dreamweaver -
it probably has too many "bells and whistles" for me. Looked at Macromedia
Contribute. It is probably more for maintaining a site than for creating
one - and it isn't free, like Nvu. I had a look at an old version of
another WYSIWYG program, but it wouldn't allow me to set zones on a precise
or round number of pixels. I like Nvu for its access to the code. It will
allow you to edit online like Contribute.

Just as a matter of interest; if I hit carriage return under Nvu, I always
get a <P> tag. To get a <br> I have to go to the code page. Am I doing
something wrong?

Haven't used Nvu, but try Shift+Enter.
