Free Online HTML Editor - Do They Exist? By Matt Murren

If you are working on a lab computer, or have limited space available on your hard drive, a Free Online HTML Editor certainly appeals to you. Many of these new innovative web applications have just as much power and as many features as an old desktop based HTML editor, but can be done from your web browser. There is a Free Online HTML Editor available for your needs whether you are looking for a traditional text based application or a "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) application. If you are looking for a text based free online HTML Editor, among the options available to you is the SquareFree Real-Time HTML editor.

This simple web page allows you to see what your finished HTML code will look like in a box below your code in real time. If you still would like the ability to "get under the hood" of the HTML but would like a little bit more added features you have the "HTML Generator" offered by HyperGurl which will fill in some of the HTML coding for you and is ideal for simple pages. WYSIWYG is where the Free Online HTML Editor concept really shines though. Among the options available to you in this category include Online HTML Editor, WysiwygPro, Editlet, Ephox, eWebEditor, and more. All of these programs have their own requirements, browser compatibilities, and of course unique features.

However, it should be noted that sadly not all of those are entirely free; which, of course, is what you are here for. They were included merely so that you see what your options are. You can use free demos of all of these programs before you are required to buy. One web based WYSIWYG editor in the list that is free though is Online HTML Editor. Online HTML Editor was developed in Germany but offers an English version. The menu bears a strong resemblance to classic word processors and is simple for anyone to use who is familiar with office or HTML software. When you are finished with a file your simply click "Save file now" and download your finished file from the Online HTML Editor server.

This list is definitely not exhaustive, it would have to be much longer (and more boring to read) if it were. You can find other Free Online HTML Editor programs on the net, but before you go looking I strongly suggest you try one of the move products. Good luck with your HTML editing.
