Yahoo's free html editor, SiteBuilder has drag and drop editing, and can preview files and publish to a yahoo hosted site. Unfortunately, as editing tools go, it has some major drawbacks.

There are a lot of "templates", but the css that drives the "look and feel" isn't readily accessible to the editor. In addition, some of the mechanisms associated with the drag and drop to create display problems.

The editing screens that say they set the page width, are not synced to coordinate with the center wrapper widths.

If the user isn't aware that the center wrapper defines the page positioning in the browser, they can end up with pages in multiple widths that jump from side to side.

The center wrapper is often defined as a minimum-width. Page width can be set from file to file, but even if it is the same on all pages, the center wrapper can be set by dragging an image on the right side of the page. i.e. Page (A) with an image dragged to 725px from the left can display "wider" than a page (B) where the same image is positioned at 675 pixels from the left, even when both "page widths" are set to 800px.

The display seems to ignore the "page width" setting, and center the page on the center wrapper width. In the case above, the nav bar of the 725px wide page displays closer to the monitor's left hand edge than the nav bar of the narrower 675px page, so the pages jerk sideways as you click from A to B.

The root div is defined by adding together the pixel width of the logo to it's distance from the left edge. If the image in the upper left corner of the page is 600 pixels wide, and it is 10 pixels from the edge, the root div is 610px. If you change the logo size to 770, 0px from the Left edge, the root div becomes 770px.

When asked about this, Yahoo's customer service suggested downloading SiteBuilder again, deleting all the old pages, and recreating them.

In many sites, that is not a reasonable approach. It might be better to update SiteBuilder so that page width and center wrapper are synced, and there is a check box which allows users to standardize site wide logo position and page width.
