Then why the HTML editor...

You shouldn't use one if you want to learn HTML (IMO)

Python

yeah if you want to learn html then use notepad, lol

thats all you need for just html

kink

notepad is good . (agreed)

Notepad is just plain crap. 8 space tabs, no syntax highlighting, no auto-indent -- I can't even imagine coding full time in notepad.

pfgannon

what do u use then?
ive used notepad for bout 3 years but now im too damn lazy

Chroder

EditPlus is my editor of choice. Hide every toolbar except the document selector and its a syntax highlighting, multi-document, auto-tab, split-screen, line numbered and brace highlighter Notepad.

rallyfan

chroder can i download it even maybe a 30 day free trial.

my html is running out of days soon.

How about NoteTab? The NoteTab Lite is a free version. Go to NoteTab.com to check it out.

Python

i have future plans of an online html editor where users can sign up for a file account where they can develop and test their pages online. i also hope of doing a php one too

thats a while away though

pfgannon

that would be awsome you should persue that( eventualy)

SEbasic

SO you're talking essentially about a blog type system?

Python

eh? no no. i mean an online page editor which people can also have their own small host account for page testing

guys i got a coffee cup html editior im thinking of some on downloads.com check them ones and help me decide which ones are the best.

guys start a new topic for the conversation you have running on this topic.

i use Allaire Homesite 4.5 its great, u can do the code urself and if u get lost or if ur lazy u can even add stuff witout the code, best of both worlds. its also great because when u type in the code it closes it for u automatically, very good imo. notepad is great but having programs like these make things faster and easier and better. notepad is like riding a bike when u can drive a car. i never figured out how to save the notepad file to view them anyways. u can try that one man, allaire's site they have the trials. gl

I use Creatext... It's free but might be Mac-only...

I suggest that you just go with Dreamweaver - easy is good. Don't reinvent the wheel.

If you're dead serious with just a plain editor, go for ultra-edit - best you can find. I downloaded a copy before at download.com.

deadfingers

never really heard of any others besides Homesite and Dreamweaver, i have heard of Ultra site but idk much about it.

daboss

I actually use Front-Page.

I say this at the risk of being lashed when I mentioned that I'm an IE fan.

CannonBallGuy

IE s*cks *ss but there really isn't a lot wrong with FP now...
They sorted it out in recent versions... And it makes no difference if you hand-code...

I use Chami's free HTML editor, i think it's at chami.com

Hey Arestia, I guess using line text editors are reserved for the gurus like yourself. I could never code a design from scratch without a wysiwyg editor like FrontPage

pfgannon

i could never design a page in FP.lol
DW is a different story but i prefer notepad

daboss

Problem with using a text editor is you have to toggle out to a different program to view your work. And for someone like me (who is not very good), it gets kinda tedious...

voorma

i use FP, and Dw, (frontpage and dreamweaver,) i am very bad in making layouts, mostly that is cause i am to Lazy to try things and stuff, so i mostly get free templates:P few weeks go i made 1 layout mysellf but screwed 1 thing up (easy to change back) but was to lazy to do so.., also Notepad, is very handy if you need to edit a page Fast, and not much, its just what you need...

kink

most dev studios got good ones

pfgannon

the great thing about css, voorma, is that if you need to change something you can change it much quicker

voorma

thats true too foutrone..

kink

check out coffe cup html editor a little bit too cute but works good

deadfingers

lol well im trying out edit plus, im tired of Homesite, i think its causing some of my problems. I do my coding by hand so it doesnt matter to me, DW is a bit confusing to me, im not sure if i could complete a full site wit it.
