However, NVU > likely doesn't generate very nice code... Actually the code is all good - no errors through Tidy (Firefox addin) which is the W3C one really. Like I said - it doesn't seem to have that attitude problem almost all other editors (not FCKeditor) seem to have. It doesn't yet do CSS but you writing valid css is easy - its getting it to work in the same way in FF and IE that can be a pain. I edit the source to use a css file and then use the Firefox CSS editor to 'get it right'. If IE fails to display it properly then I put in a bit of JS that asks IE users to get a proper browser. But seriously if your trying to write something that you're finding difficult to get to display correctly in FF/Mozilla and IE then your only making life hard for yourself. If its hard for you to write its probably hard for the client/customer/audience to understand and almost certainly breaks accessability rules. And, unless you're writing Microsoft Interfacing specs to avoid large fines, you want to be understood don't you?
