There is one web editor that has not been mentioned yet: Amaya, also
included on the CDs.
Amaya comes from the W3C, which means that the HTML it produces fully
complies to the W3C standards, and it does not tolerate errors.

Just to try it out, I opened www.ihregistry.com with Amaya, saved and
uploaded it, and as you can see, the result is fine:

    http://www.shiems.freeler.nl/ihregistry/overview.html

In Amaya the links do not work, because in the source code you have,
for example:

    <a href="http://ihregistry.com/REGISTRY/models.htm";>

"www" is missing here. Mozilla and other browsers do show the links
because they have a certain amount of fault tolerance; in fact, they
swallow garbage and make something legible out of it to quite some
extent. Most notorious for this is IE. I see you are posting from
Windows - I hope you do not test your pages with IE alone?? That would
mean nothing.

Now I must say that I do not have enough experience with Amaya to be
able to tell to what extent it is usable.

S.H.

(not FTP > Binary), or else the pictures will be broken and won't be
displayed.
