WYSIWIG HTML editor
I would like to find a resonable WYSIWIG HTML editor for my mother to use. It has to run on Windows XP and be low cost. She has been using Hotdog, but the company that makes that doesn't exist any more and it doesn't work correctly under Windows XP.
She is pretty computer savy, but doesn't have the skill or time to maintain her website in notepad.
Any suggestions?
Jay

Try her with Mozilla Composer.
Can't beat the price :-)

Composer is good...
for what it is.
I'd like to see a composer extension for Firefox...

Namo Web Editor is pretty good. See #136235
[link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=136235|#136235].
It's up to [link|http://www.namo.com/products/webeditor/|Version 6] now, I use 5.5 on occasion and haven't upgraded to 6 yet.
Cheers,
Scott.

Nvu
I just started checking out [link|http://www.nvu.com/index.html|Nvu] for revamping my site. Seems nice so far, though I've not had much time to check it out due to work.
It's available for Linux, Mac and Windows

The Mac OS X version seems a bit wibbly
UI elements resizing themselves, doesn't run from the disk image, etc. It seems a bit QT-ish.
It reminds me a lot of Bluefish, so if you like that, I expect you'll like this. Less is more for me, but some folk likes their buttons :-)

Hotdog Professional, written by Mark Twain...?
Jay M writes: She has been using Hotdog, but the company that makes that doesn't exist any more and it doesn't work correctly under Windows XP. Wasn't it he who once wrote the famous line, "rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated"? Because [link|http://www.sausage.com/|Sausage Software], who used to produce it before mr Clemens took over, certainly isn't dead; a bit stale, in places, but up and running for sure. Then I thought, maybe that's because it's all dumped on some web hosting service that's still keeping it running just beause they haven't got around to burying the corpse yet; even stuff like "Copyright \ufffd 1994 - 2005 Sausage Software, LLC" could be just because there's a CGI script spitting out "this year" as "2005". So I called the number listed in their "whois" registration, but the guy on the other end -- who answered the phone with "Sausage" -- said that yes, "we're very much alive". She is pretty computer savy, but doesn't have the skill or time to maintain her website in notepad. [link|http://www.notetab.com/|NoteTab], then? Any suggestions? Yeah, well, I'll repeat [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=136322|this suggestion to our CritteR], just over a year ago: HotDog, or alternatively, NoteTab... Hey, maybe he can fill you in: Did little miss Rathman ever try either of those? Or did you, Chris?

I noticed that
I noticed that Sausage Software still existed after I wrote that question, after following some of the links given. It looks like they may have changed name or web sites at some point and that threw off my mum.
NoteTab looks interesting though, I'll have to check that out.
