IBM's WebBrowser (OS/2) and Mozilla (not netscape) both
produce exceptionaly tight, good cross platform code.
WebBrowser is based on Mozilla code as well.
If I didnt do a lot of handcoding, I'd probably uses these for
the more normal pages BUT they are excellent for checking
framed webpages, which is what I use them for.
Netscape v4.xx did break the minor standards itself, not as
much as MSIE, but enough so both defeated themselves.
Until stable Mozilla hit the streets, I used an OS/2 only program
to do basic frames, or a basic template I kept before filling in
the rest with hand coding. A good package is any package
that allows you to do both, without shielding you from the code.
Cheers
