Drag and drop text box (web page editor)

    I've been trying to find a solution to this for quite some time.
    I have a question about web site building.
    Is there editing software that would allow
    someone to drag a text box around to any place they want and resize it?


    I use Front Page to edit some of my sites.
    Front Page is very cumbersome, as it only inserts tables in a fixed position.
    You cannot drag them around the screen with your mouse.

    Do you know of any editing software that allows someone to drag a text or image box around, put in any background color, image or text
    and expand it from any angle and place it wherever I want, in real time?

    I use yahoo Sitebuilder and it does this but It will not support ion cube loaders for my membership sites, so I have to use a different host for those sites and edit them with Microsoft Front Page, witch only inserts fixed position tables.
    Any Ideas?

    Hi,

    As a starter everyone will want to build a website like dragging and dropping. But after while you will need lots of modifications and contents to use in the site where the drag and drop features will not be easier.

    I can suggest you to go for wordpress , mambo or joomla to build sites. Because, they make you the ability to use boxes (in Joomla term it is called module) and it is standard too.

    There are lots of video tutorials also for Joomla , you can check them out.

    Google for joomla templates and video tutorials. Btw, Joomla is free and open source. And it has lots of members in its community.

    Best Regards,

    Nirmal
