Re: What I'd like to see in Web Designer
I don't believe you'll find a WYSIWYG web designer that could do that, anywhere. The problem of parsing and translating arbitrary HTML/CSS code into the local proprietary format used by all such programs is, I believe, well nigh unsolvable--at least at the affordable level.Originally Posted by jon spain

Re: What I'd like to see in Web Designer
Being able to import existing websites is close to impossible I'm afraid. In order to do that we'd have to interpret the HTML, CSS, Javascript and create a layout that is an exact replication of what a web browser does. In effect that IS a Web browser. And since the likes of Microsoft, Netscape/Mozillla (Firefox), Opera have been struggling to produce a reliable or compatible browsers for 10 years or more, this is just not practical.
So while it would be truly great to be able to load existing websites and edit them, I can't see it happening in the foreseeable future.
