HTML editor recommendations
Not recommended
WYSIWYG (semi-)automated website construction systems
which require training (unless you have received the appropriate
training to well beyond beginner level)
Recommended
Windows Notepad
Any simple, intuitive editor that gives you direct HTML editing
and which doesn't add stuff to your pages without you knowing about it
(e.g. Allaire Homesite)
The problems with expensive, trendy, powerful editors of the
"WYSIWYG semi-automatic" variety are: (i) that they require expertise
for using them properly; (ii) that even if you are
an expert with them, they nevertheless hide many secrets; (iii) these
systems are primarily designed for doing their own thing and react unpredictably
to technologies from third parties. While many people use these editors
successfully to integrate our applets into their pages, less experienced
designers may come to grief.
If you can't keep away from your new powerful editor, no problem - use
it for all the non-java pages on your website. But when it comes to
inserting your applet code, switch to something simple (or find out
how to protect segments of HTML code against automatic code-manipulation).
