Is there any kind of decent program for html/css that lets you build a website visually? I'm thinking something more along the lines of adobe illustrator or google docs, that lets you put content onto a page and drag things to where you need them to be, but spits out html code when you're done. Something like google web designer but more flushed out and functional, as it's still in beta and has a long way to go. Also, what are these kinds of programs called? (originally thought they where WYSIWYGs )
Try wordpress, easiest way to achieve what you've said, then you can drag and drop and design the website like you said. WYSIWYG changes textarea to a text editor, Tinymce is one of them, not what you want. What you want is called Content Management System(CMS), wordpress is one of them, you can see a list of CMSs in the article.
A far more economical drag-and-drop HTML builder tool is Bootstrap Studio.
This is naturally linked to the Bootstrap library and jQuery. But you can just use it to get a flavour of what you want to design.
Then write your own html/css/js code for the final site.
In fact you can use Bootstrap Studio to build a non-Bootstrap site and make use of its features like designing for different device screen widths.
$29 for a year's use, $60 for perpetual use.

I am looking for some online editor which provides drag and drop features to build the HTML code for text boxes, buttons, radio, tables etc.
Please help me is there is any website available for this like a Dream viewer?
What you are looking for is Bootstrap Studio, this is the description from their home page :
It comes with a large number of built-in components, which you can
drag and drop to assemble responsive web pages. The app is built on
top of the hugely popular Bootstrap framework, and exports clean and
semantic HTML.
I don't think there is any services that supports what you want (from what I've guessed when you say "drag and drop features"). Most of these online IDE sites that supports these features tries to sell you their services by publishing and broadcasting the entire webpage for you. Most online HTML IDE are only code based.
Regardless, I still strongly recommend Adobe Dreamweaver. It's quite versitile with drag and drop features to a certain margin. It also requires coding but its template is quite straight forward, code-wise, and visually appealing.
If you still want to give it a try, however, there is a life hack. This article may help you. You can try building the webpage on wix and then exporting HTML.

I am using Dreamweaver, but now I am thinking about trying another program. I am kind of new to html and css, but I feel I have kind of control using html and css3. Now I am learning how to creative responsive webdesign using bootstrap.
Might be a stupid and simple question; When I want to create a new html page, I can choose "create a responsive page using Boostrap". If I just select html and makes a css sheet, will I still be able to make a responsive design? Thinking about using "insert" and then choose "Bootstrap Components".
I have made pages with bootstrap templates now. It's ok and I am managing to style the template. Still I feel more comfortable making it from scratch. I feel I am learning more and have more control doing it this way.

I guess I should just stick to Dw, but I want to learn more. I am kind of a learning-by-doing-girl and want to try out another program. I like the ability to use "Show code and design" in Dw, so a program with this included would be great.
Which programs have this capability?
I have downloaded Atom, and I know you can refresh the website to see the result, but that means I have to connect the site to a server? Right now I don't want to connect the site to a server of different reasons.
You should try out a standard text editor like Sublime Text or Atom. Do your code editing there and open your page in the browser. Refresh to see changes as you make them.
I like Notepad++.
The problem with programs like DreamWeaver is that they can instill some pretty bad habits in novices. You are absolutely right in wanting to learn without it first.
The reason I like Notepad++ is that it has great code highlighting, one of the things I think draws people in to DW, too.

I'm C/C++, Java developer and now in order to put some variety into my work, I decided to start playing with web development - i'm using django. However, I'm hopeless with graphics and advanced css. I would like to build and ship some apps with elegant and simple design. Are there any frameworks/templates which let me build something great looking without photoshop skills?
I'm looking for something useful like: http://960.gs.
Tacit CSS framework would be very in-line with what you're searching:
I'm hopeless with graphics and advanced css. I would like to build and ship some apps with elegant and simple design.
You include the library on your HTML pages and it will give the page a tidy and modern look by default, without the need to define classes to HTML elements or do any CSS code.
Here is an example of my personal page. Only CSS work I had to do was the inclusion of Tacit, and the page gets that look, working both on Desktop and on Mobile.

Here you can find a nice comparison about responsive frameworks. In my personal experience, I've worked with Twitter Bootstrap on several projects and like it. Since I've used the other frameworks so extensively I cannot (or should not) say it's the best, but at least it fits my requirements and I find pleasing to work with it.
There's a lot of projects integrating these UI frameworks with web frameworks like Django or Rails.
With a simple web search you'll find a lot of themes (free and paid ones), pick what best fits your needs.

I've found wkhtmltopdf, which looks good on the surface and works fine in very small cases, but it doesn't provide any real css control over the rendering.
By that I mean it doesn't use the print media type and page breaks are not respected, as well, on windows you can't control the names of some header/footer variables, or generate a TOC off of teh h1 tags.
Are there any real open source alternatives, I've tried xhtml2pdf which is a python library actually called pisa, but it requires reportlab which doesn't play nice windows.
I'm actually programming in .net but if its good and open source, the language isn't a huge issue.
This is an old stackoverflow question, but because google took me here, it could be helpful for somebody else.
Weasyprint should support what the author was looking for.
It supports print css features like page break.
Try weasyprint
It turns out there was no open source alternative that was simpler, but on windows wkhtmltopdf is just not the best thing, so we paid for a better solution.
Winnovative's PDF library is what we used
While it is not open-source, I use ABCPDF. I have a template page in .NET that I use for a wrapper to set up a custom stylesheet for generating PDFs only.

We have a CMS system that we're currently taking the admin back end and converting to Silverlight 3 or possibly 4 by the time we go to production. We wrote a custom JS / DHTML editor to suit our needs, and will need to do the same now in Silverlight. Has anyone seen any clues to a base functionality that we could build upon for our own app?
We don't really have the time to build from scratch, but it's looking as if this might be our only solution for today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.vectorlight.net/controls/rich_textbox.aspx We came across this control, but there’s no option to buy the source code. Something similar could be enough for now, as long as we could modify it to our needs. Price is not a huge issue, as long as it was less than $2K. That’s the tipping point where I’d need to make a real business case for it outside our team.
I work for a company that has just released a Silverlight Control suite and one of the controsl we have developed is a Silverlight HTML Editor.
Silverlight Html Editor
It includes basic functionality and we're growing the capabilities based on customer demand. It allows HTML import and export which I think is your key initial requirement.
Source code is available for purchase if desired and the price is well down on the $2000 upper limit that you have :-)
I hope that helps.
Have you looked at the Rich Notepad Silverlight 4 sample from Microsoft?
http://silverlight.net/community/samples/silverlight-4-beta/rich-notepad/
The XamRichTextEditor is a highly customizable rich text editing control that provides functionality modeled after the features and behavior of Microsoft Word. The XamRichTextEditor is provided in both WPF and Silverlight versions with an API that is common across both platforms, enabling you to incorporate rich text editing capabilities into your cross platform applications.

We're going to give the component art component a shot. http://www.componentart.com/products/silverlight/editors/
I chatted with their support a bit, and the toolbar is separate from the editor, and highly customizable with our own features. I'll try to remember to post back some feedback if it's good, so that others can benefit.
