Looking for easy HTML paste-together-thingy :)
First off, before you go suggesting BBEdit etc, I'm a developer, I know HTML.
Here's the deal, what I'm looking for though is some kind of visual tool where I can take a number of unrelated HTML files (stored on my drive) and visually link them together (this is for my personal use, nothing that is being published on the web). Ideally it would create simple "<Previous" "Next>" links based on how I "link" the pages using some kind of visual "connect the dots" type interface.
Anyone understand what I'm getting at? Does such a beast exist that isn't too expensive?
I normally just use text based tools like TextWrangler, etc. so I'm not at all familiar with any of the visual type programs.
Thanks for your help!

Whoops! Yeah, OS X. I've been using it so long I don't even think to specify since to me using a Mac implies OS X

You can use Netscape and Mozilla both have HTML editors built in, not very sophisticated though but better than using Notepad or text edit and most of all free.
But aren't those still basically a text-editing based way of doing what I describe?

GoLive? GoLive by Adobe? I don't know, I thought that there might be something like that in there

I'll check this one out. I've heard of it, but again, I have never used visual type tools (I'm the developer that does the background stuff, like CGI, C, etc. another guy in my office does the "customer facing" stuff).
Any other suggestions, more in the cheap realm?
Not super cheap, though -- $145.

Try this site page :

Ps: Also regarding browsers.. I seem to remember reading somewhere, that Explorer & iCab are good for the sort of work you've outlined...
That would probably be the fastest way of doing it (well, it depends on how many files you are talking here, but it would suck to need to change numbers or whatever on 100+ documents).
Granted, I don't know perl syntax, but I know general programming, and I have a framework in mind that should do the job. I'm sure someone with more perl or awk experience could help you out on this one.

Oh yes..what about Visual basic...?
