Good Cheap WYSIWYG Editor

I wish I had one for you. I'll be watching this thread though.

I do all my editing in Notepad.

[QUOTE=Chixulub;925463]I want to do more cool stuff with my online portfolio, neat rollover effects and whatnot, but the software I have is so print oriented it's a pain in the ass. I can hand-code in EditPlus, but what I'd really like is to find a cheap immitation of Dreamweaver. Any good ones you can recommend?[/QUOTE]

I have worked with some of the "fakes" out there and they are not great. I know more about the Content Management Side then I do about the other stuff, so ever you ever need help there, ask.

Have you tried Front Page??

I have a list from working before off of dreamweaver:

plus the one I sent before ---FrontPage

Good Luck

If you want good CMS and a cool layout try Mollio

If you're feeling daring, you can experiment with Javascript. [URL=http://dynamicdrive.com]Dynamic Drive[/URL] has a great collection of freebies.

give coffeecup.com a shot. They have an html editor. I bought their suite of products for other utilities, so i haven't really tried it. I think you can get a free 30 day trial before you buy.

Here are some free ones, no particular order, I've heard good things about nvu but haven't played with it much:

If you want to do real fancy stuff, you may want to learn about AJAX in general:

If you light your cigars with $100 bills, you might consider ColdFusion, Studio 8, or other Adobe products, but I'm guessing avoiding that was kind of the gist of the request.

jedit is cool, there is another programmer's editor called SciTE which is very cool:

Those are context-sensitive text editors, though, not really WYSIWYG in the DreamWeaver sense, but if you dig into the code, maybe it has improved, but DreamWeaver puts a lot of crap into the code anyway.

Eclipse is another one in the same kind of category, but more Java-oriented, in fact it is a framework that you can use to write quick-n-dirty Java applications, but it also works as a simple context-sensitive text editor:
