A good web wireframe tool is hard to find

I’m having a hard time finding a good wireframing tool for web applications.  Right now I’m using Dreamweaver with the hopes of short cutting my html efforts once my application’s screens are ironed out.  I realize this isn’t the easiest solution, but I’ve already started, and it seems like the easiest format to translate / clean up later.

My ideal wireframe tool would do the following :

  1. Free or cheap
  2. WYSIWYG functionality
  3. Either use real HTML or export visual elements to HTML
  4. Allow for clickable navigation between screens
  5. Allow for small amounts of code interactivity

Dreamweaver meets most of these, and I’ve already made it far enough that I don’t want to turn back.

After all these years of hand crafting my html, it’s a real challenge making the switch to WYSIWYG editing.
So far it’s been ok, just not as easy as I was hoping. Hopefully this barrier is just my inexperience creating web pages the visual way.
