Re: How to let someone use but not download software I own?

You mean run the software off your web hosting server?

Re: What's The Best Way To Get This

Don't set a class for each list item, set it for the container list. 2 advantages - more efficient, and you don't have to remember to set the class attribute on each <li> you use.

Another vote for NotePad++.

I also use DreamWeaver at work, which is pretty awesome but a little too expensive given the range of features available in free solutions.

Re: IE7 not working

It sounds like you have a problem with your CSS. IE7 doesn't support the full range of CSS 2.1 attributes and handles some properties incorrectly. As such, it has a lot of known layout issues.
