 Am I missing something in the DHTML Editor?

I have been working for a few years in HTML, primarily with HomeSite and Visual Cafe and now trying to get involved with VB6.  I was shocked to findout how inadequate and anemic the DHTML Editor is with creating even the most basic web pages.  Is there a plug-in I need to beef-up the editor?  Example: If I want to change the background color of the page, I better know the Hex of the number I need because there are no dropdowns to select the color and paste it in to the document.  Any Help would be appreciated...

Hi,

Let me say this: Visual Basic is a programming language, not an HTML editor.
To calculate hexadecimal colour codes (calculate!? WHY?!?! it's so easy!)
just use VB to do what is was meant for and write a small program that you
can use while designing a webpage (small always-on-top form for instance).
You might also want to consider using stylesheets (so you can use an RGB
tripplet and don't have to worry about &H-etc...).

Greetz,

Welcome to programming, not GUI editing. :)
The VB6 environment is for writing code, not doing webpages.  Most people use some other tool to create the webpage and then load it as a template in you VB webclass to output to the web.  VB is not for webpages, it is for the logic and processing behind them.  If it needs to spit out an HTML table, you have to know the HTML for how to create a table, table row, table data, etc.
