I would try either Dreamweaver or GoLive.

Microsoft is discontinuing FrontPage and I think they will stop supporting it in 2008 (I could be wrong about the date). It is being replaced by new programs (I think they are called Expression Web). So I wouldn't spend any money on FrontPage.

Anything that does not add to your message... detracts from your message.

I cannot remember when I last viewed a "flash" intro without using the "skip intro" feature. If it was not offered, I "skipped" the web site

well...flash doesn't just apply to intro's i'd say...yeah that's popular, and yes i will have an 'enter' (intro) page...due to extreme/offensive material. 18+

NVu's based on the old html editor component of Netscape/Mozilla.

One thing I don't like about all the windoze html editors is the insistence that the web server can only be reached via ftp/scp/dav rather than by a share on a local file server. They insist on changing all my links in pages to file:// links when I save to it as 'local'. I have a Linux box in the corner that I do all my testing on, why do I have to FTP files to it?

Agreed. The only appropriate use on the web for flash and java, imho, is for stuff like YouTube videos or web-based games.

If you want to do 'cool menus', 'tooltips' and whatnot, use DHTML (css & ecmascript). And make sure you can still navigate it with javascript turned off.

Not for long, the penguin will soon save all of you... Dell is about to come out with desktops and laptops with Linux pre-installed. Michael Dell jumped back in the big chair over at Dell and is aiming the company in the right direction again!

Definitely nice to have tabs and some basic options; I use one called 'NoteTab Lite' which is also quite nice.

I have to say, demo and perhaps purchase Dreamweaver, as it's in the top of web design apps, has a plethora of features and a great community to support it. You can find (free) support and tutorials all over the web, from Adobe's site directly to a multitude of other Dreamweaver user/enthusiasts sites because it's industry standard.

If you you need a class on using Dreamweaver, you can find that readily available too. I suggest this if you are a person who wants to use a top app, yet not savvy at all with web site creation and design.

If you're a technical savvy person, then the other non-industry standard apps mentioned here may suit you.

LMAO...I think I'll need something stronger than the jaws-of-life to get Windows off me :P Ahhhhh...this reminds of the big controversy over Pres. Clinton (Microsoft) & Monica (the end user). MS can deny it all they want...they are the puppet master :P

But I have used Linux on ocassion and the fact is that MS has more & better software geared for it. To bad they stole the GUI idea from Apple, but didn't use the backbone of UNIX like Linux & Apple.

Anyways, I have Dreamweaver 4 and I think it's absolutely the best one. I don't know about the newer version, but DW 4 doesn't support PHP code, thus my shopping cart files are edited in PHPEdit.
