John,
Have you used homesite?
It is a very good editor, and it helps with rapid development. While I would
admit
one could get away with using notepad, why not spend $99 and get a HTML
editor like
homesite that will allow one to develop quality pages quickly. It also has
tag validation
among other things, it is primarily a text editor, not a GUI development
tool.
Homesite is one of the best HTML editors out there.
