I have the need to login to several websites and do some very quick edits. I would like to find a tool instead of using DreamWeaver all the time. Can somebody please tell me if this WeBuilder will accomplish this task?
Sorry to ask what may appear to be a simple question, but I looked the website over and couldn't tell??? The lack of WYSIWYG has me concerned?
Thank you for your prompt answer.

Hi Gary and welcome to the group.
WeBuilder is not a WYSIWYG editor - it is designed for people who can code html. It will do what you want though, in as much as you can use the FTP function to open a page on any given site, edit it and re-upload with just a few mouse clicks. Or you can open the page directly in the editor by entering the URL/Hyperlink in the 'Open from web' dialogue and then save it back to the server when finished editing, again with just a few clicks. With the preview feature, any changes you make can be viewed immediately, so WYSIWYG is only handy if you don't know HTML or want to position page elements by dragging and dropping (which often creates very messy code anyway in order to get the elements right where you want them and which may cause the page to not render cleanly in all the major browsers).
