Well, so far two responses.

1) Proved their original message was smoke and mirrors.

"I use a combo of
Emacs and HoTMetaL Pro 5 with occas use of Homesite to develop my html.
Personally, I prefer HoTMetaL for various reasons, but in some ways
Dreamweaver (which I also use sometimes) works better."

Uuuum, sorry. That isn't a WYSIWYG editor writing valid HTML Mam.

2) Provided 14 errors in one file (then I stopped counting). BTW - if you
are interested it was Dreamweaver.

Any canned editors out there that write valid HTML? . . . NONE so far.

Standing by,
Fuzzy
