Granted that is >not HTML's fault, but it is current reality. And so I code by hand. Like I'd actually touch a WYSIWYG tool with a 10-foot barge pole :-). Of course they have limitations (bugs) - and VIntDev is no exception. I use it exclusively in "Source" modem. >Notice I didn't say easier to type, I said easier to *maintain*. >And hey, I can type it <html> and then hit Cmd-] to uppercase it. >I used to prefer lower case tags, but now when I edit an old page, >I select the tags and hit that key combo to make 'em upper case. So what you really need is an editor that, on loading, converts all tags / attributes / etc. to upper-case, but when saving writes them all back as lower case. That keeps you - and the standard - happy. And I'm thinking this thread is now bordering on being off-topic for the list... Peter
