dear dudes,
i am a new bie in the website developing area in linux. previously i was doing all my works in frontpage and i find it is very user friendly . but it has many disadvantages like large code generation hidden bugs etc . now i want to make a website which is a complete open source one. but i find only quanta in the web developing arena. so my question is their any other web developing tool in linux . which has the drag and drop usability like in frontpage or in dreamweaver ...i want ur help ..or if u have some more infi\ormation abt quanta then please let me know abt that

bye

I use http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ but you could try http://nvu.com/ , according to their site maybe more what you're looking for:
Cheers, Leon.

A second vote for bluefish. I would also recommend learning some coding instead of letting the program do it all for you. It is so much easier to fix things the right way the first time rather than try to fix some big mess of code generated by a crappy program like frontpage.

also lookout for mozila web-composer

W3C Amaya
Amaya is a complete online web browsing and authoring environment and comes equipped with a WYSIWYG style of interface, similar to that of the most popular commercial browsers. With such an interface, users do not need to know the HTML or CSS languages.
NVU
NVU (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") makes managing a web site a snap. Now anyone can create web pages and manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML.
Quanta Plus.
Quanta Plus is a web development tool for the GNU/Linux K Desktop Environment. Quanta is designed for quick web development and is rapidly becoming a mature editor with a number of great features and lies at the heart of the KDE Web Dev suite of tools.
Bluefish
Bluefish is a powerful editor for experienced web designers and programmers.
Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages, but it focuses on editing dynamic and interactive websites.
Mozilla Composer
Mozilla's HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your simple documents and website projects, Composer is all you need.
SCREEM
Screem is a web development environment. It's purpose is to increase productivity when constructing a site, by providing quick access to commonly used features. While it is written for use with the GNOME desktop environment in mind it does not specifically require you to be running it, just have the libraries installed.
Unlike most other HTML editors SCREEM does not provide a WYSIWYG display of pages. Instead you are presented with the raw html source in its editor window.
Scite
SciTE is a GUI-based single-document editor which uses the Scintilla editor component. It rapidly styles most common programming languages with good control over how syntactic elements are displayed, and features folding for C++, C, Java, JavaScript, and Python. Styling of HTML also styles embedded scripts written in VBScript, Javascript, or Python.
OpenOffice Webwriter:
OOWeb is a WYSIWYG web site design tool, part of the OpenOffice suite. It has features very similar to that of Microsoft's FrontPage.


For Windows user I would recommend HTML Kit
HTML-Kit is a full-featured, highly customizable and free development environment that can be used to create, edit, validate, preview and publish web pages and scripts. Despite its name and the light download size, HTML-Kit is a multi-purpose tool that has support for several scripting and programming languages.
