For free HTML/CSS editor I recommend Aptana 2.0 (runs on Mac, Windows, Linux):  http://www.aptana.com/products/studio2/download

Notepad ++ is nice for Windows.

I have to disagree will Bill, Frontpage is a text editor and does not have problems with standards.  However, if you used the wysiwyg interface, you got html that was compliant with the markup language used by other Microsoft products and Frontpage extensions which sometimes created problems with giving you what you expect.

Mostly the issue is related to CSS and HTML.

Frontpage never created HTML that met any standards.  It is time to byte the

years and I personally recommend it.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Microsoft Office Frontpage and I-pad

Hi!


I've been using Microsoft Office Frontpage 2003 (don't cringe) to edit our
library webpage.  The page looks good on every computer monitor that I've
seen it on, but today I saw it on an I-pad and there are a few problems with
links overlapping and not appearing where they are supposed to (please see
attached screenshot).

Any advice would be much appreciated.  If you need more info, let me know.

Lisa
