Use a good editor that simplifies your work. I like HTML Kit because it's quite robust and has numerouse tools and plugins that you can use to get the job done quickly Yes, I agree WYSIWYG editors can really mess things up so that is why hand coding is probably the best way to learn any programming language, I think…once you know how to hand code then no matter what editor you use you can edit any errors to the code output…but why would you want to?

Probably worth a note for newcomers to XHTML - most of these problems are caused by WYSIWYG editors. *The most evil editor - Frontpage *OK editor - Dreamweaver - only "ok" because I noticed some bugs such as incorrect spelling in the PHP autocompletion ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER']) and it also automatically captialises onclick to become onClick - which is invalid XHTML. Dont Use the design view either or you may damage your eyes - design view is worthless for XHTML / CSS pages and also the code produced will be pretty rough and have a bad layout. *Best editors Notepad, VI, and other regular text editors. I also just tried the HTML editor that comes with Mozilla browser and it seems ok - it can display XHTML / CSS sites properly in design view! Hi arwen54,

Thats all very true. Probably worth a note for newcomers to XHTML – most of these problems are caused by WYSIWYG editors.

*The most evil editor – Frontpage

*OK editor – Dreamweaver – only “ok” because I noticed some bugs such as incorrect spelling in the PHP autocompletion ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER']) and it also automatically captialises onclick to become onClick – which is invalid XHTML. Dont Use the design view either or you may damage your eyes – design view is worthless for XHTML / CSS pages and also the code produced will be pretty rough and have a bad layout.

*Best editors

Notepad, VI, and other regular text editors. I also just tried the HTML editor that comes with Mozilla browser and it seems ok – it can display XHTML / CSS sites properly in design view!
