APEX

I love APEX, but my HTML skills are not as strong. I spend a disproportionate amount of time getting HTML, which seems to work fine outside of APEX, to display properly inside of APEX.

Eventually, I get to the point where I "view the source" of my application running in APEX, and compare it side by side (through notepade) with the HTML file which displayed the way I wanted it to, and which was primarly the source the the HTML which I used to create the template in APEX.

There has got to be a better way!

Is there an HTML editor which other APEX developers use to create their templates? Or is there a more effective tool/method that I can use?
