Hi,
Hope all is well.
Ive been using the Beta of MS Web Designer from the start. Now that its being marketed they want $300 for it.
Im looking for a free WYSIWYG program.
My files are all in HTM format from my Site.tar.gz zip file.
I just want to open my HTM files, edit them and upload em to my site.
I appreciate your time, Thanks

Dreamweaver is by far and the large the industry standard for professionals

Most of us use HTML source editors with quick or continuous preview rather than WYSIWYG editors. E.g. check out HTML-kit (http://htmlkit.com). Other simple WYSIWYG alternatives would be Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/) or NVU (http://www.nvu.com/index.php).

Can I recommend a good WYSIWYG? In good conscience? No. I can't. Primarily because "What You See" is so rarely what you actually get, and the code that they generate is so frequently garbled and simply bad. I have yet to see one that outputs code that is as elegant and straight-forward as what a reasonably talented coder can do by hand in about the same amount of time.
Dreamweaver can be good- especially when used in code-view, rather than WYSIWYG mode, but it is far from free.
HTML-kit has pretty much become the de-facto standard around here, since most of us prefer working with the source code directly.
