Compare WYSIWYG editors

Check out this video talking about differences between Dreamweaver, GoLive and FrontPage: WYSIWYG Editors

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) is an umbrella term for a combination of HTML, XHTML, CSS, and a client side scripting language such as Javascript, or VBScript. DHTML allows developers to create engaging web sites with content that can move, change shape, size, color, or otherwise react to user actions without requiring a trip to the web server, or browser plug-in. VTC author, Darcey Spears, shows users step-by step how to build a web site, beginning with how to acquire client information, creating a site map, and onto planning for DXHTML elements. Work files are also provided for this tutorial. To being learning today, simply click on one of the Dynamic HTML lessons.
