That's what I'd do. Instead of finding a HTML Editor just find a simple text editor and write all your HTML in a clean manner. I don't know where Ted got his statistics from, but most people I know use simple text editors for writing their HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Personally I stick to vi or diakonos on BSD and Notepad2 on Windows. Christian Zachariasen
