Thanks to all those who have answered! :) (in response to question about HTML editor/format) In article <4H4NhBAPuScxEw6A@bpfd.demon.co.uk> Steve Taylor <steve@bpfd.demon.co.uk> said:- >In my experience the best way to learn HTML is by finding pages like >those you hope to produce, and looking how they did it.

I think this shows different people learn best differently! I found the "Beginner's Guide" somewhere off http:/www.demon.co.uk/index.html - under "tutorials." (I downloaded, disconnected and printed the whole thing out). Doing it that way I found it very useful - even though it meant I couldn't click on the links to see the examples. On Demon's pages there is a good selection of tutorials which seems to cover everything you could ever need to know. Unlike you, when I tried looking at HTML pages (despite, perhaps because, of years as a programmer - before I left to do something sensible instead) they thoroughly confused me. Now - with the guide having pointed me in the right direction - they make sense. Forget the request for an HTML editor, because now I'm starting to get the hang of using HTML - I don't think I'd like to give up control to some program that thinks it knows what I'm trying to do! __ Brian
