I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said, but remember, that which is achieved rapidly may not be satisying in the long run. Avoid WYSWYG packages like the plague! ESPECIALLY the 'easy' way of the "Word Generated Webpage"! Therein lies disaster and heartbreak!

As a Piano Accordion Player, I get lots of criticism from Musos who have never played the instrument, and the harshest criticism from those who have played no instrument at all! I've been hacking by hand text layout languages since 1978 - and HTML is just like most of them.

"Try a text editor which will highlight code in a different colour so that you can see more easily what you are doing."

Try EditPlus - I found it so useful I registered it - and I'm a real cheapskate! It even highlights the correct closures of HTML objects - a real headache saver! I prefer Freeware! But....

Not really advertising - I get nothing out of it - but I wouldn't use anything else to hack HTML - it will even help you fix "error code" generated by other methods - even that given by Mudcat! :-)

P.S. I.m not kidding - every page mudcat serves has an HTML error in it! :-)
