This answer probably won't help you much...

IMO, all commercial web development software is crap. It either 
produces horribly bloated nasty code, or produces pages that run only 
on one type of browser.

At work I use XML to define the contents of a page, XSLT stylesheets 
to control the presentation, and a server side xslt processor to 
combine the two which produces the clientside javascript and HTML 
that actually gets downloaded to the browser. These run on Apache web 
servers and Tomcat java servers.

I laid out the hotrodmotm.com website using Microsloth Front Page, 
then had to go in and fix everything up by hand so that the pages 
would display on Netscape and other browsers.
