jeffw_00 37 Posted September 27, 2008 Hi - I need to put up a small website, I'm not an HTML guru, but Mozilla-Composer-level programs don't seem to cut it as I want to graphically place items next to each other (like have a menu of page choices down the left side of every page) so I think I need "frames"?. Can anyone recommend a good WYSWYG HTML Editor with Frames? Free is good, I can live with cheap+free trial. Thanks/j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Temmu 1,931 Posted September 29, 2008 avoid frames.create a page with the top and sides as you wish.save it as your "template"copy it as index.html, page1.html, page2.html (or whatever...) each time you start a page.simply add content to the large blank table (or large blank in case of css) you've left in your template.free but great!1. if you'd rather work with css, then try cascade - http://www.price-media.demon.co.uk/cascade.html2. a non-css, but still wysiwyg - kompozer (formerly nvu) - http://www.kompozer.net/3. and last, but not least, first page - http://www.evrsoft.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffw_00 37 Posted October 1, 2008 it is, but a bit too simple - will try the other suggestion though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone recommend a good WYSWYG HTML Editor with Frames? Free is good, I can live with cheap+free trial. Thanks/jI don't post very often, usually because I don't have much to contribute to a thread while gaining a LOT of info from you folks.On this topic I can say the WYSIWYG Web builder is, for the price, probably the best program out there. I bought it and find that someone with limited knowledge of website design, can create a professional looking site in a short time using WYSIWYG.WYSIWYG supports all kinds of pages CSS, PHP, FORMS, etc. and has excellent online support.I'm not affiliated with them, I'm just a happy customer.$39.00. With a fully functional 30 day free trial. You can find it here. WYSIWYG Web BuilderHope this helps Edited October 1, 2008 by Towncarman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed_P 18 Posted October 8, 2008 I agree with Temmu. Avoid frames. use CSS. http://www.csszengarden.com/ FYI The link doesn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tushman 19 Posted October 8, 2008 FYI The link doesn't work.FYI, the link given by Sunrat is a valid one. The forum script adds an extra 'http' in front of it so just remove it from the URL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunrat 2,265 Posted October 12, 2008 FYI, the link given by Sunrat is a valid one. The forum script adds an extra 'http' in front of it so just remove it from the URL.Fixed link. I know it doesn't give you an html editor (I use Dreamweaver, QuantaPlus in Linux, or a text editor ie Kate), but it is a good example of CSS styling.

Temmu 1,931 Posted October 13, 2008 dreamweaver! it's great. especially if you want to have (as most sites do) similar text on top, bottom, and left.jeff_00, perhaps you can get a student license if you wanna use dreamweaver, it ain't cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
