I need to find an HTML /Page editor for an associate. Mostly he will
be working with existing templates to enter content (text and
graphics) in a rough WYSIWYG mode. He will need to be able to use
basic HTML tags (formatting, links), use CSS text formatting with a
link (pre-defined) style file, insert pictures and links in WYSIWYG
mode, work with basic tables, table column dragging would be good. It
needs WYSIWYG (reasonably well done) and HTML source mode. It needs to
_not_ trash existing Javascript hooks but does not need to create any
JS or CSS-P capabilities.

Ideas? MS-FP would work but it has a lot of overhead that you have to
tolerate and periodically strip and he's anti-MS (Linux guy) so he
won't want that (I use MS-FP, I know :-) . I tried NVU and it is very
close to what I need but it does not handle CSS on <p> tags - all the
CSS text formatting has to be done on <span> tags unless you work in
HTML mode. HTML mode is difficult because when you switch into it, it
always places you at the top of the source - not where you are editing
in the WYSIWYG mode. Unusable on large pages.

Shareware would be best, I need to test drive before any purchase is
made.

Thanks

Mozilla/Netscape comes with a built-in WYSIWYG-style editor (Composer).

Thanks.... but there is no CSS support. The NVU (enhanced Composer) is
lame as noted in my post.

I see that we are being fooled. This question was posted separately
to alt.html and to ciwah, at least, and is getting two separate
threads of response. That's rude.

EOT for me.

Why is it rude? Because I think two groups might have resources that
would help me and I ask both? You are being "fooled" ? Just how am I
trying to fool you ?

I can't possibly say anything about you that everyone else can't
figure out on their own - or probably already has if you post very
often.

>EOT for me.

Bye, bye.
