HTML Kit is pretty good. I'm still looking for a replacement for Frontpage. I know Frontpage is not known as the "best" HTML tool, but for what I do it is easy to use. But, the code it writes is almost impossible to edit by hand.

Has no one told you about the mythical Dreamweaver?

Yes BUT, for personal use $399 is a little out of my range.

Oh, right...ethics. What a foreign thing to me. :-\

Ok, So I've spent some time experimenting with Dreamweaver and HTML Kit. But there's on simple thing that Frontpage does that I can't make happen in the others, When I import an image (or serveral images at once) it does this:

<img border="0" src="P1000119.jpg" width="640" height="480">
<img border="0" src="P1000122.jpg" width="480" height="640">
<img border="0" src="P1000128.jpg" width="640" height="480">

All I have to do is drag the images, or choose insert image - it will import multiple images and insert their widht and height automatically. I've not seen any other package that can do this.

You should be able to do that with Dreamweaver. O_O

Oh, maybe not. I've never had to use the WYSIWYG portion of Dreamweaver, nor have I ever embedded multiple images.

For several years I've been happy using Arachnophilia.

It's free, and very powerful. It's not wysiwyg, but that's no inconvenience, because you can set it to use the web browser you normally use, Firefox, or whatever, to view your pages as you author them.

Suggest avoiding NVU. I tried it for awhile recently, in tandem with the above, just to see how it is. NVU really annoyed me because it spontaneously inserts lots of blank rows & perhaps other things into your page code.
