dreamweaver equivalent


I am looking for a program that will perform like dreamweaver and frontpage. I have been using bluefish, which is good, but I am still not understanding tables. I have used mozilla and i wasn't impressed to much by it. Any opinions let me know pls

I'm afraid at this point, nice HTML environments like Dreamweaver are out of our reach. I've heard that Macromedia had a Linux version "in the works", but I haven't heard anything lately.

Good Luck.

Regards,
gtnorton

Hey, give the guy a break, he's a beginner, we all started somewhere.
And he's right, Linux NEEDS a Dreamweaver equivalent.
Bluefish, Quanta, Screem, ... are all insufficient editors for serious work.

I found some info regarding runnign dreamweaver with winex so, I will look into that, and post how it goes and how well it works, as soon a I get a copy of it. I inderstand most of tables and I am sure its a small command I am missing. All I want is a side column to put links in. No biggie.

Sorry for being off-topic but I have to respond here. I do plenty of web-work and let me tell you plenty of designers do 'serious work' by learning to code by hand. It's really not that hard and it produces streamlined code. DW and FP create code that is barely standards-compliant and is creates file sizes twice as big as they need to be.

hand coding is the way to go....

I like bluefish. I am trying to learn the code. It's not hard. I want something like dreamweaver or FP cause I can swap to the code and see how they did it. I just do not see how to get the side column to stay the same width and go all the way down the page. I plan on just using code with software liek bluefish cause its pretty kewl.

Dreamweaver are not for Beginners....

Hello all...

First one - please sorry about my english!

Second step - Dreamweaver are the best tool to work on internet and build site's like HTML, PHP, CFM, ASP(.net) etc. it gives a lot of plug-ins that you can load..

but what want i say? You can work with Dreamweaver an build lightweighted Website thats not the problem but you must know the code that you can eliminate the little Problems of Dreamweaver and it gives realy little Problems. That you say Dreamweaver is the same like Frontpage that explain me that you have not enough work with the Tools DW and FP. FP is the greatest Shit, Microsoft's way to build a homepage - its Microsoft.....

Linux needs the DW for more activity on the webprogrammers market then come more people to linux, what want you more


;-)))))

the truth

The person was a macromedia employee. Don't remember if they where male or female. Information is on another hard drive in email. This was about two to three weeks ago.

I just do not see how to get the side column to stay the same width and go all the way down the page.
Is that a table or a frame-set?

Cheers,
