looking for a WYSIWYG editor

I am trying to find a good WYSIWYG editor, I have to have the ability to open already created files, and it would be nice to have the option to edit PHP and ASP pages in a source mode. Anybody have any ideas?? I have already looked on hotscripts, I found one, but cant open files with it. All the rest are WAY to spendy.

i would recommend dreamweaver but that falls into the catagory of spendy. you might try quanta if you are using *nix

I do recommend DreamweaverMX even if it falls in the spendy category

Just don't try to let Dreamweaver do you php code for you and make sure you use the options to cleanup unneccessary code and spaces before you save the document or you could run into some interesting scripting problems.

if you're real cheap, just download it. or download the trial from Macromedia and download the key from <*g>

Comm'n ... everything ought to be open source anyways 🙂

oppps, well I thought that I said that it needs to be web based. I am looking for a app that will let users edit/create html files, and if possible php and asp files. Now I do use dreamweaver for my desktop dev projects, and phpcoder on my laptop.

Ok, instead of all this, I'd store all the text displayed on your websites in a database and then create password-protected forms for your users to go in and change the text without screwing up the layout of the website.

If you want the users to have unfettered control over the entire HTML file, then why not just give them FTP access? I mean if they understand HTML well enough to code it, they can be trusted with FTP access.

I am looking for something that has a GUI for the html, I dont want the users to have a account on the box, and it is their own site so they can do what the want. I think I found something so I will try it and if it works, I will post about it.

Something here might be useful to you. Given the length of that thread, it seems redundant to have the whole discussion again.

Macromedia Conribute is a good program.
