Web-based WYSIWYG HTML Editors. I think that WYSIWYG are great. However, when I switched to writing standards-compliant XHTML - I found that it became more difficult to rely on an editor. Both Dreamweaver and Homesite are pretty slick in that they give you "standards-compliant" markup when you have an XHTML DOCTYPE at the top of your document.

The reason I bring this up is because I have been advocating a WYSIWYG HTML editor for Roller - and now there is one! However, after looking at the code generated, I noticed <font color="#ac5454"> - yikes font tags! I pray that this editor has a "smart HTML" feature - but I doubt it will. Nor do I care - I love the feature and will use it often - I just have to remember to edit the HTML or this site will fail validation. Posted in Roller at Sep 20 2002, 04:56:58 PM MDT Add a Comment

Struts vs. Java Server Faces. From www.theserverside.com:

Many have have wondered at what the future holds for Struts, now that an early access release of JavaServer Faces is available. Craig McClanahan, JSF Spec Lead and Lead Architect for Struts has recently commented on the subject. Craig is working on an integration library for JSF and Struts 1.1 that will allow migration to JSF without major code changes to existing struts apps. [ Craig's email on Struts + JSF integration ]

I'm smack dab in the middle of a major time crunch on my current project, or I'd review the above article and post my opinion. Maybe in the next few days. Posted in Java at Sep 20 2002, 02:57:31 AM MDT Add a Comment
