Ok, i would like to download, or, buy a program that does most of the HTML code for you, i can do some of it, just i would like a program, so much easyer!

You don't need to buy anything. Download Netscape 7. It is free and comes with a WYSIWYG Composer. You use it the way you use a word processor and it will take care of HTML coding. You can go to http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp

Second option is to use MS-Word. You can make a page and then save it as a web-page (html file). But the problem is that word inserts a lot of unnecessary garbage which bloats the size of the file.

If you need an HTML editor, 1st page 2000 from http://www.evrsoft.com is another fantastic free software which many readymade JavaScripts.

I personally use 1st Page 2000, but for WYSIWYG all I can say is avoid Microsoft programs. They only cater (as far as I know) to IE specific code, as well as putting in so much useless code it isn't funny.

1st page is good. I just got another freebie called "ACE HTML", too, and it's not at all bad!

ACE FTP is another product from the same stable as ACE HTML. They both are free but require registration with an email address.

They both also have a PRO version which is paid and comes with more features. But I guess free versions are good enough for basic use.

If you want top of the line paid products. Marcromedia Dreamweaver MX is also quite good.

Although i havnt been using html long, everything ive done has been in the most simple program of em all. MS Notepad.

Notepad is enough, but not good enough. Everything appears in plain boring black. I prefer 1st page 2000 because it shows me different tags and their attributes in different colours. The code is more readable.

I've been getting into "Texpad 4". It's "only" a text editor, but it handles html tags really well.

I prefer EditPlus.

Its not free. 1st page 2000 is free and comes with loads of ready scripts. Its quite popular

Here's one....WebDwarf by Virtual Mechanics it is powerful, flexible, easy to use, and it's free. I used it for months before upgrading to their paid application called Spinner.

WebDwarf I think is a WYSIWYG editor. 1st page 2000 is a pure HTML editor. No WYSIWYG capabilities. Netscape Composer has different windows and can work as both, a HTML editor and a WYSIWYG editor.
