There are plenty of editors for generating HTML, and it may be that you already know enough from following Paul's series in PC Plus to write your own code. However adding in ActiveX controls might seem like a daunting task with its unique coding. This control pad from Microsoft makes the generation of the code as easy as possible. It provides a Windows interface that can add in controls like ActiveMovies easily so you can incorporate them into your pages. When you close the control after getting it to your satisfaction, the HTML code will be generated which you can then copy into your own pages.

If you want to use scripting in your WWW pages, then there is also a VBscript and Jscript add in for Internet Explorer 3 together with a script debugger for Internet Explorer 3.
