Subject:Re: html editor questions From:"robertson e. leigh" <robertsonleigh -at- HOTMAIL -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 7 Apr 1999 06:56:25 PDT
hey
im charged with evaluating WYSIWYG html editors. all seem to have
problems. can anyone help me work around any of these problems:
- hotmetal: this app puts an   in every cell of tables i create,
causing an indent. i called tech support and they never got back to
me despite 2 phone calls and an emailed example of the problem.
- frontpage: i like this but two things: 1.) we write using arial
font. frontpage puts the font face tag in front of nearly every line
of code. bloat. doing a 'find/replace all doesnt work as it gets the
fonts all screwed up. 2.) supposedly we have security issues with
frontpage doc on our unix servers. also, a lot of anti-MS sentiment
here. anyone hear of this?
- dreamweaver: clunky and not good with CSSs. and they do the same
thing with the font face tag.
- netscape composer: not even a contender as it asks you to specify
an html editor for working directly on the source.
any help? offline im at onefourfive -at- hotBOT -dot- com
thanks
