>Sorry John - I haven't got a clue what you are going on about. But from what I do understand of what you have said, I agree, HTML is a piece of p!$$. It's nice though when an application abstracts it away so you can approach web development from another angle. I assume that you like doing everything "the old way". I bet that Notepad is your favourite editor, after VFP of course :)

Every HTML editor out there that I've tried had its quirks, and they all wanted to make my life easier by automating things they like to do, thus causing confusion and very original bugs in the HTML they hid from me. My wish is to have a lightweight editor which would do proper syntax coloring and indentation of HTML structures (table-row-cell, or list-row, or form-elements etc) and perhaps give me some intellisense - and leave the rest to me, and show full text, no hiding. Of course, every browser will then reformat it beyond recognition (i.e. just compare what you generate with what you get when you view source), but by the time it hits the browser it already has to be perfect anyway.
