Well another vote for Bluefish here , I use it to build and maintain several web
sites   

Very good at it's job 

I did at one time look into open office  for html but very quickly moved on
switched to Quanta  but alas that got left behind   switched to Bluefish  doubt i
will change again ....

If you want instant visual check of changes then if you have dual displays i run
bluefish on one monitor and Qupzilla on the other it updates as soon as you save
the file no refresh needed ..
