    I am using Microsoft Expression Web and want to redesign some of my sites,
    eg. http://onegrand.moneyflux.com

    Simple things...like changing headlines etc.

    But it never looks the same in IE or in FF, i change to certain font sizes or re-arrange headlines...then i look at the page in FF and the font-sizes are totally off....and in IE the position of the texts is not right.

    What i want is a truly 100% "what you see is what you get" HTML Editor !

    I want to edit my stuff in the editor...and should look like that then "live" on the web also...no matter whether i use FF or IE.

    Any idea ?

    Georg.

    There is no WYSIWYG that lets you see "100%" the result because every browser differs from another. Some have different rendering engines, and there's no way in hell one program can mimic all browsers (or even more than one). You are only wasting time. What you should do is code according to the specifications (which I doubt you've read) and test in all the browsers that you wish to support all at once (Opera 9, Safari 3, Firefox 2, IE6, IE7, etc)

    And if you're truly making EU 14.000,00 (btw, 14000 euro != 14000 usd) in 14 days, why don't you hire a developer to do this for you?

    In your signature it says $14k. If you knew that a euro was 1.42 then why the hell didn't you change it to $20000 (14000 = 20 504.4 U.S. dollars)?

    >>>

    >>>

    You are right ! I utterly refuse to "hand code" HTML...also..i dont think it's too much to expect the EDITOR caring about the specifications - and not myself. That is why i want an editor which shows me 1:1 on the editor screen what's happening in FF an IE....the EDTITOR making/validating the code confirming to W3 specs.

    You could say it is too much to expect the editor to do that because one doesn't exist.
