Free easy to use html editor?

Anyone know a good, easy to use html editor for Vista that's free?
I've been using PageBreeze, but the page looks different in every
browser I look at it in. Sometimes it's a real mess. Also you have
to have pictures in the same folder as html files or they don't show
up when uploaded. I don't need anything to complicated. As long as
it can do tables, it should be enough. Thanks.

If you're looking for a "perfect" WYSIWYG editor, you won't find one.
For free at least.

Don't rely on a program of which homepage has > 20 errors. That's
propably how you'll manage, at best.

Also you have

So? How could the browser know where you've put your images? You have to
tell it if they're hidden in your aunt's old drawer (or some more
logical place, such as a folder called images in your root directory).

Doing tables makes it (whatever you're doing, possibly not even reltated
to tables?) inevitably complicated.

Learn the basics first, THEN use a "sophisticated" program to do the
work. By then you'll notice, though, that DIY is the best approach.

BTW, I use Notepad++. Now I've given at least one answer to the question :)

Or for $$$ either...

OP needs to get a basic understanding of relative paths...

If the page is located:

www.example.com/MyPage.html

and references an image at:

www.example.com/images/MyImage.jpg

then a relative path in markup:

<img src="images/MyImage.jpg" alt="This image">


Would still work on local filesystem such as windows were bo9th files
are located repetitively:


c:\SomePath\myWebsite\MyPage.html
c:\SomePath\myWebsite\images\MyImage.jpg

Agree with Ari here, if you desire to maintain your car yourself you'd
have to do a little research first. No tool or machine with substitute
for basic knowledge. Like before you do an oil change the location of
oil cap in the valve cover, location and type of oil filter... motor oil
in the transmission just won't do! (I know someone who did it)

Why Vista? Why not XP service pack 2, or XP service pack 1, or 2000? Why not
DOS version 5?

Ah, I know, Vista is a broken operating system and nothing works on it and
your casting around for something that does.
I've been using PageBreeze, but the page looks different in every
browser I look at it in.

As the page will.
Sometimes it's a real mess.

So PageBreeze is broken.
Also you have

This simply does not make sense. Pageview must be very broken.
I don't need anything to complicated. As long as
it can do tables, it should be enough.

Yeah, right. Do you want one that does paragraphs as well?

What is wrong with you? I'm guessing your favorite porn site was down
today, judging by your e-mail address.

No, the 'XXX' is just his attempt to obfuscate it email and limit spam.
But more to the point is that he is correct, if you put images in a
different folder on the server then the URL to that image may change and
you need to adjust your document to accommodate. Simple, but you do need
to understand the basics.

Try the beginner tutorials at htmldog.com is a good place to start.

Sorry, I live happily in a relationship and the sex is good. Don't need
porn.
I don't even want to know what's YOUR problem if three Xs make you think
with your lower brain.

And please learn to quote properly.

Damn, I start to sound like Yucca (in a good way, I like his attitude)!
We Finns are cruel...

:D

AceHtml 6 Pro.


There is a light version (recommended + free) and a pro version, not too expensive. A Pro test is free as well.

I bought the Pro some years ago for USD 15, now it is 60, because it is that good.

The pro version has an advanced dictionary for html included and some nice features more.

The light version has no limits in building files or time or html.
And there is a window in the light version "please buy me, please".



The mess you tell about is far away from my software.
It is just good.
