WYSIWYG HTML Editor == Dreamweaver

• mkramlich 17y ago
  Or the old fashioned alternative: browser & editor side-by-side on your screen. Browser rendering the same HTML file that is loaded in your editor. Edit. Save. Hit refresh in browser. Optionally: add a simple, development-class web server (like web.py). Bingo, done. I guess I feel like the "editor" and "render" parts of the problem are already solved. I'm not sure that we gain more than we lose by trying to smash them together into one gob. For debugging/tweaking an existing web app, sure (then use something like Firebug), but for general development from scratch there are a lot of benefits to using a real browser and real editor.

  To be fair it has been a long long time since I have used dreamweaver. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it wont have improved a whole lot (as the rest of the CS Suite havent either). It used to generate terrible html, and in the case when you wrote your own html it munged it badly, its css and javascript editing were mediocre, I remember it not even handling css definitions properly. even a live preview window in emacs would cover quite a lot of what I want, remember project to embed firefox into emacs a while ago, probably time to go search it out.

  Seamonkey is a good wysiwyg editor. You can visit any page, save it, and do edit HTML. It's not excellent but is better than raw text editing for ux mockup ideas.
