Would anybody care to share their thoughts on the ideal HTML editor to use with CCS? I've used Frontpage in the past but I'm a little nervous to use it with CCS pages...I've heard of problems with Frontpage adding unnecessary code and I want to keep these pages as "clean" as possible, save for the few minor cosmetic changes that I want to make. Suggestions?

Why not to use internal CCS HTML editor in design mode? Have you executed it standalone? In my opinion it's great as it is aware of those CCS-specific comments etc.

I have worked with the new FrontPage 2002, and let me tell you this tool unlike the earlier versions does not mangle your code ...
The MS code mangling story, is very sad but true (in their new VS.NET does it!!).
But as far as I have seen ForntPage 2002 is good enough in that approach.

To Chris: I think CCS does a decent job of basic html editing but here's an example of where I think I need to go beyond CCS... If I'm creating a rather long input form which is posting data into multiple tables, it would be nice to add some space between groupings of related fields (and maybe add section headings) so the form doesn't look like it's one long run-on. In FP I can insert rows and merge cells (to add white space), then add headings. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this in CCS - I can certainly add rows but I dont' know how to merge cells and I can't even figure out how to change the color when you're using a predefined style (tried changing background color of TD or TR but that didn't work). I'm sure if I was proficient at raw HTML coding I could do this but I'm not. Maybe I need to give FP2002 another look as the previous poster pointed out.

If you want just a HTML editor HTML-Kit is a cool piece of work. It let's you work in "code-mode" and has lots of extras if you choose to use them. Another cool thing about it -- it's free.
Cheers.

Rene,
just for your info: to merge table cells select the cells to merge, right click and select 'Merge' menu item.
To change bgcolor of <tr> or <tg> tag locate cursor inside the html tag, right click and open '<tag_name> Properties' dialog.
