Dreamweaver is only WYSIWYG when used in CSS. Same for KompoZer. With tables and cells, and putting in specific sizes for the tables and cells you can pretty well control how the site will look in different browsers. With CSS the browser decides how the site will look on your viewer's monitor.

From many I've heard good things about Xsite.

All browsers will futz with how things are displayed.
Doesn't matter if it's in html or in css -- though IE has more interesting issues with css.

Nevertheless, there are workarounds.

A good education can be had by looking at the interfaces that yahoo has developed through it's yui library. Or, rather, looking at the videos that they've made talking about their frontend interface. The YUI libraries achieve consistency by "resetting" the default characteristics set up by browsers -- starting all browsers from the same place. It's what yahoo, itself, uses on their own sites.

Must work.

Hi,

For a straight WYSIWYG simple editor free sothink is nice. It's nothing fancy but you can take an existing template and work with it. The free one has only one limitation and it's no big deal, you can only open and work on one page at a time. The paid version ($35 when I bought it) opens several pages and you can toggle through them. Nice, however not a must.

When I was starting out I found it much easier to learn the basics of HTML than use a WYSIWYG.

The interactive tutorial at http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/ is even better than the W3Schools one.

The best HTML editor I have found is Alleycode. A million times easier to use than NVU or Komposer IMHO, but it is not WYSIWYG.

If you want to get a site up quickly, just get a free template from OSWD, open it up in Alleycode, make your changes learning as you go, and you'll have your site on line long before you would have done with a WYSIWYG.

  I've been a long time user of MS FP, but haven't really touched it in awhile. I learned the basics of HTML w/it and found it pretty easy to use and be able to create basic web sites, but never got into really creating 'snazzy' websites.
  
  I've tried Nvu/Kompozer and XSitePro and they're pretty decent and really are a true WYSIWYG....that being said, there is a learning curve w/XSP but once you learn how to use it to the best of your 'needs', then you'll probably never switch to something else!
  
  Of course, IMHO, if you're looking for a true WYSIWYG type of web site builder, then I would suggest checking out Website Builder X5 - Evolution from Incomedia. They've got some good video tutorials here that really showcase what the app can do.
  
  Bottom line...check out all the suggestions given to you and then try and find relevant 'how to videos' and see which one(s) match up w/your technical skills and see if a 'trial' is offered and go w/it. If you like it, then upgrade to the paid version, if the one you've selected isn't a freebie, and get to building w/it!

Personally I really like Notepad++, not wysiwyg, but am interested in finding something a little faster. I just checked out Alleycode mentioned above with the kind of recommendation that sells me, but it had a dire warning by the download link 'does not work well with Vista.' That sank it for me, but it did look like a really good list of features up to that point.

DW does have "learning curve" mentioned in about every second post recommending it and I have been reading a lot of positives about the 3 version of EW, especially about the graphic design capabilities. They do have a free 60 day trial download, and guess I'll try it out.

Thanks for all the comments people, on a topic I've been wondering about.

I use Kompozer to create Ebay ads because it is fast and easy, however it sure is "bloatware" in my opinion . It creates an extreme amount of HTML coding to do a few simple operations. It bloats a simple HTML page with so much code it is often hard (for me anyway) to read the HTLM. I like to tweak by pages by going down to the HTML level.

For my website pages I use an older version of Dreamweaver, Ver 4. I still use the WYSIWYG feature, but find tweaking HTML easier than it is in Kompozer.

Also, in Dreamweaver, my HTLM sure looks a lot cleaner.

AlleyCode looked interesting so I downloaded it.

Unless I did not figure out how to work with it, I can code in HTML and then see what my page will look like, but I cannot into the plain text area and see what the HTML will look like

This seems to be strictly a HTML editor with a preview mode. I will stick with Dreamweaver.

My DreamWeaver 4 allows me to edit in the HTML box or the PLAIN TEXT box above. It allows me to choose HTML only, PLAIN TEXT (WYSIWYG) by themselves or allows me to view both at the same time.

I often buy older software on ebay to save on the price. You do have to be careful, read feedback and the auction description. A few people try to sell bootleg sofware on ebay. So far I have not bought illegal copies.

and eventually went to bbedit and "10 finger hand writing" clean html ...

I use site builder (which comes with the web hosting package at Global Domains International), though my favorite is Image Cafe at Network Solutions (built www.snohomishpromotionnichemarketing, which is no more there). Unfortunately I lost that website (and I was so close to fininishing a draft copy of that site around the time I lost it

) after someone hacked into my paypal account back in May (though i do have a new one in its place) and purchased $300 worth of stuff from Zynga (probably some desperate gamer wanting to win at the game they were playing). I do have Expressions, but am not too familiar with it (GDI does allow basic hosting, but I would not know how to use that with Expresssions)

I think Dreamweaver is the best wysiwyg html editor. Yes, it does have a learning curve. I loved it when I designed sites with tables. It was pretty fast to do.

Nowadays, I do design everything in css. I find hand-coding in notepad or something similar the best and fastest for css. I never got comfortable designing with css in Dreamweaver.
