Roger,
Whilst I fully agree with your sentiment of clean HTML, and keeping it
simple,
my problem is that I want to change operating system on 90 or so staff, some
of which
can just about change their departments intranet pages by point and click in
dreamweaver,
the thoughts of them trying to learn HTML if frightening to say the least!
Perhaps instead of WYSIWYG I should have said Graphical?
Anybody else done anything similar?

I am looking for a WYSIWYG html editor to maintain our schools website, we are currently using windows and Dreamweaver, but I would like to start using LTSP and need to find a simple web page editor, we don`t use a fraction of the features in Dreamweaver most of the time so I was wondering if anyone had any recomendations?
Hi Rob,
My advice would be to avoid all WYSINWYG web editors like the plague, unless you are what seems to me to be unbelievably expert - or all systems used to view the page are identical. Each browser/version/screen-resolution/colour-depth/OS/etc. combination will render any given page in a slightly different way - even before you consider different user settings. What YOU See Is NOT What Anyone Else Will Get!
Keep the code simple enough to handle in a standard text editor and you are likely to end up with HTML that renders sensibly on any system, while if you use a so-called WYSYWYG editor, you end up with code so complicated that you need a grade 1 guru to de-bug it (mind you, I'm only grade 3 ;^)
Good networking,
Roger Beaumont
