Yeah, I've only had ring-pains with html editors too -- I do
all my webstuff using notepad also, to get full control and give
it an individual touch.

It's really easy to learn how to do something in HTML Tanvir,
just do "view document/frame source" in your browser on a page
that does something you want to do, and check out the notation.
It takes some trial and error at first, and always make sure your
page will still look okay under many different screen resolutions.
Also, make sure that the load time isn't ages by doing a full "reload"
or no-one will ever be arsed hanging around waiting every time for a
load of huge pictures that they've already seen  (it will always be
quick for you as they will mostly stay in your cache)  Or do smaller
versions of artwork and say 'click on the image to view full size'
like on DEnnis' ECTS-totty page.

You must make sure the syntax is correct or you may find your
page works fine on your browser but buggers up on others.
The main thing is for every <command> always end it with </command>
but then there are pro web developers around here that know a damn
sight more than I do about it so I'll shut up before I say something
that's bollards.
