Hello, I am new to Suse Linux. (new to linux period). I have been a Mac OS and Windows operating system user. But i got tired of windows and so i looked into Suse pro 8.2 and love it so far. My problem is this. I own 2 web site www.ihregistry.com and www.ihregistry.org I used dreamweaver mx in windows to design and update my web site. I have looked at emacs but am totally lost so far. I tried mozillia and for what ever reasons wouldn't work right with the web pages i have and i don't wish to go and change all my pages. When i save the pages it saves but when i upload them to my server they are a txt file and when i go back and view them on my machine they will only open up with txt. I have checked and checked but can not find out why so,Is there a rpm or application i can find that is like dreamweaver? Thanks for any help you could provide to me on this. Mark H.

Look at Quanta and Bluedog - they are both on the install media. Neither is wysiwyg like Dreamweaver, but they are SFAIK the best available for linux.

The nearest you can get to wysiwyg is the (rather nice if you're lazy) html editor in OpenOffice. I'm really surprised that no one has taken this on yet.6 months ago we were nowhere near Quark or PageMaker. Now Linux has a professional quality dtp package. I wonder why the same doesn't apply in the web authoring sector.

I think he may mean Bluefish unless there's another one I haven't heard of called Bluedog. Jack A.

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. PS: If you upload with gftp then be sure that FTP > Ascii is checked (not FTP > Binary), or else the pictures will be broken and won't be displayed.

Side note....if you started a site using Dreamweaver, you may need to continue with it. Did you setup editable regions or templates? If so, using something else may not produce desired results. I always like to try to stick with the original creation tool, i.e. Dreamweaver, that I started a site with. I can't find anything similar to DW for Linux. If I do, I'll be more than happy to pay a couple hundred dollars for it. (Did all you programmers hear that?) But until then, I guess I'll keep my windows box and my kvm.
