[TriLUG] Recommend HTML Editor

[Robert Porter]

That was my final solution as well, thanks for the reply, you mentioned IE in 
your reply, I had heard there was a version that would work on Linux is this 
so and if so where does one obtain it?  Since IE currently holds the lions 
share of the browser market I should be checking my web pages in it as well. 
And if I can avoid having to fire up my Win2K box just to check a web page 
that would be wunnerful! 

Back to Bluefish, have you found a way to coerce it into allowing multiple 
browsers to be launched from within it for testing, a la Homesite?

Cheers,

Bob Porter
