html_code_clinic thread: Mac-Windows cross platform HTML Editor

Thanks very much.  After I discussed it with him further, I found that he 
simply wants to be able to change some of the product photos and 
descriptions as his designs change, not do general purpose web development. 
 HIs site structure is straightforward: one page showing the four 
categories of product, four more showing each category picture larger, with 
clickable areas providing drill down to individual product description 
pages, sometimes for a single product, more often for several.  It looks 
like a spreadsheet to enable these changes by writing the HTML out would be 
more useful to him.  He supplies Lucite display products for retailers 
selling greeting cards, stationery, etc. and wants this more as an up to 
date catalog for existing customers than as a method to build lots of 
business from web traffic.  He's looking at it as a different way to 
attract hardcopy catalog requests than his ads in the trade magazines, and 
has no plans for online ordering at this time.  He's on another site (sales 
reps) which would enable ordering if he wants to do that.

I'm not experienced with HTML, but I'm very good with spreadsheets (as well 
as client/server and rad tools like Delphi, PB, VB, etc.).  Does this sound 
like a workable scheme to you?

P.S. How many Microsoft architects does it require to change a light bulb?

None.  They simply declare Darkness the New World Standard.
