Better - w3schools, learn HTML, it's easier in the long run to get good
results. You can do it in Notepad, though I prefer Crimson Editor because
it colors the code contextually.

If you are using a free Linux OS you can use the free Quanta+ HTML editor
that comes with the Linux OS or Bluefish if you want a wysiwyg.

The best wysiwyg HTML editor available on Windows and Mac and not free is
Dreamweaver.

Just use Mozilla. It is WYSIWYG and free.

Huh? Bluefish sure ain't WYSIWYG.

It is wysiwyg, but it messes up your code.

I'm yet to find a WYSIWYG editor that produces cleaner code (using default
settings; and without going into source code editing view) than Mozilla
Composer.

How does it work with CSS?

I was recently helping an amateur work on his site, and (according to
him) if he would remove a <FONT> element in a text editor, then reopen
in Composer, it would stick a <FONT> back in, and not allow him to use
CSS. That's what I based my statement on.

Mozilla Composer.

How does it work with CSS?

I couldn't say, personally (I've never used Composer), but there is an
option to use CSS in preference to presentational HTML. Very early
versions (before v1.2) have this option disabled by default. It might be
an idea to check how it performs with this option enabled (assuming it
wasn't).

Not sure of the version, but I will ask him, and to check for the
options. Thanks.

You will have to learn html eventually anyway HTML editors tend to F^&K Up
every thing and fix there crapy code anyway.

You can do it in Notepad, though I prefer Crimson Editor because it colors
the code contextually.

I love Crimson Editor also! Go to http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ for more
details.

Depends on your objectives.

If you want to learn HTML while building that webpage, Notepad would be just
fine, for it will allow you to concentrate on HTML rather than on user
interface of whatever you download
..
If you need to build a web page (not a website) quickly without wasting time
in learning HTML, then do it in Word (which I guess you have and know how to
use) and save as HTML. The code will look ugly inside but on the surface
everyhing will be reasonably fine.

You haven't used Dreamweaver then. It will handle HTML, CSS, PHP, XML,
XHTML, Javascript, Java, JSP, ASP, CFM, VBscript, VB, C# and several other
formats.

Never said that it didn't handle those formats. Just that (out of the box)
it produces very messy code.
