Alright fellas, I'm looking for a site that will let me put in simple code on the left and then live generate on the right.

I've found a few of these but none seem to be editable in the right window.

The reason I'm asking is I have to give a class on using a strange CMS in a few weeks with a bunch of people who have an assumed zero based knowledge of HTML etc.

I've practised with a few people in my office in a similar position and the second one fared much better when I let her use Dreamweaver rather than some terrible online one I'd found for the first.

In Dreamweaver you can write in the preview window and it will generate the corresponding code, blank paragraphs and <br> etc.

Anywhere that did that would be great (I don't need any complex use out of it) but if you couldn't edit in the preview window, it'd be nice if when you highlighted the text in the preview window, that the corresponding HTML would highlight in the left side, Dreamweaver does that too and it's very helpful if you've got a load of code and only need to change a bit.

While I won't have masses of HTML anywhere, it'll still threaten to overwhelm the absolute beginners I'll be with.

I requested they all have Dreamweaver on their machines by the day but that got thrown out, anyone know of anywhere?

Cheers/

Alright mate, no that's quite close but still similar to the other ones.

In that one you can't type in to the bottom window, I'm assuming that's a much higher level of functionality than just displaying the code so I'm fair enough with that but I would like it to at least highlight what HTML you've selected in the text.

Thanks for the suggestion though
