This text is static in my standalone, but I have often needed to change it during development. I have not found a simple way to do this, and I have now resorted to having a ‘plain text’ field (‘myText’) with the whole html of the target field in it, and at initialisation time I execute:

So I just use a text editor like TextWrangler (this is on a Mac). Of course in doing this I make loads of mistakes.

So; you're on a Mac.

I am largely clueless when it comes to HTML, and I use, regardless of 
which desktop platform I'm on KompoZer:

http://www.kompozer.net/

It is Free (as in entirely Free) and certainly cuts the mustard for me.
I have been using various versions of it for about 9 years without a hitch.
