hello everyone,

Is there an html editor that could display simultaneously the results while you work on them (i.e. no constant "save, change window, refresh"?

My girlfriend is taking "web page design" class... and it's up to me to do all the coding... in one word: life.

thanks

Ilia

The arguments against WYSIWYG editors for writing papers and reports apply (if anything, stronger) for creating web pages. I'd recommend a text editor with compiler support; just tell it to use gnome-moz-remote (or equivalent) as the compiler. Personally, though, I use a text editor, m4, and make.

But you asked what would do it, not whether it's a bad approach, so... MS Word can save as html; probably OOo, too. Google seems to know of more...

...as with most things normally labelled WYSIWYG by the marketing types, keep in mind that you're probably more likely to experience WYGIWYG...

Besides classic things like Dreamweaver?

You might take a look at Amaya.

Thanks everyone, but WYSIWYG isn't exactly what i'm looking for.
Since her work is mostly low-level, it is expected that her code would be simple, hand-typed. as an example, MSword generates a complex code, something that is hard to understand simply by looking at it.
I don't mind typing the code, but I would like to see the result simultaneously, so I can quickly spot mistakes.

any suggestions?

Try this out

It's simple frames and javascript too, so it might even work on the tablet
