I have a work associate who wants to expand her knowledge of web development.
She currently does it all by hand coding. Does anyone know of any
'inexpensive' starter wysiwyg tools (not frontpage) and where to get them?

Isn't that backwards? If she really wants to expand her knowledge of web
development, she's a lot better off continuing to hand-code. Ideally, she
would eventually get a great tool like Dreamweaver which would allow her to
hand-code when she needed to, and use its many shortcuts once she understood
what they do.

I've no dispute with your premise. As a DWMX user, I often have to hand massage
the code. However, to answer her question, my question to the forum still
stands; that being a low end 'inexpensive' wywiwyg tool.

I have to agree with Patty. Well, I don't HAVE to, but I do :)

There is no such thing as WYSIWYG in web development, though, since ever
browser sees things differently, it's just impossible. And the more
inexpensive, the less efficient, as far as I'm concerned. Why not just have
her learn DW? Is it the money?

Karl:

As far as I know, no such thing exists.

You could check things like Nemo, but if she knows how to hand code already,
DW is the right tool for her.

Maybe the ASP.NET Web Matrix? It has an HTML designer built in, and it's
free.

What the others said - there is no such thing as a WYSIWYG web development
tool. Maybe she could download the trial version of DreamWeaver, try it
for 30 days, fall in love and buy the full version?

Okay. I'll pass that along. I agree with you, but she's a java programmer who
is very code oriented and wanted to see the advantages of a wywiwyg tool. I
agree that DW is the way to go. Most cheap tools are just that .... cheap.
