HTML program

I need a free HTML program. When i input the text, i want it to show me what it looks like, for errors and such.


Know of a free HTML program?

 

do you mean like a wysiwyg editor?

 

install Joomla on your site and you'll have a wysiwyg HTML editor available from everywhere

 

yes, WYSIWYG..... but i need to write the html myself, then have it show me the page.

 

I have an older version of FrontPage which I never used. I wanted the graphics software [ImageComposer] that came with the software-- however I believe that software does what you want.

What do I use? A text editor-- vi, notepad, textedit and then a browser [actually several browsers to make sure everything is working the same way.]-- this is what I would recommend. I have not come across a browser that does not allow one to load local html files for preview.

Q...

 

Hello,

If you are looking for html editor in Linux, you have http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/, it's like dreamweaver...

Best,

 

Download dreamweaver. It's free for the first 30 days.

 

If you want it for HTML only, you can use any browser for sure. Say, IE or FireFox will show you the exact preview of your HTML program. It can display the local files as well.
And this is most convenient method.

 

Dreamweaver CS 3 with Ajax free 30 days trial really good.

 

Are you talking about a WYSIWYG html editor?

I think Dreamweaver is definitely the best choice. It's very powerful, and got a lot of features. Dreamweaver has a 30-day free trial.

However, if you ain't will to pay and continue to use it, you could try other free editors such as Amaya. This is an open source project hosted by W3C. By using this you can easily write W3C valid pages.

Well... one more word... I recommend Dreamweaver, it deserves.

 

Dream waever is the best solution. It has a trial period of aroud 30days.

 

You could use Dreamweaver Portable Edition I Think

 

good suggestion but if you want just to view you can use and IE

 

Well, you write the html in your favorite text editor, then view the results in a real browser—several,to see the rendering differences. All browsers are free, and enough editors are free as to not matter.

cheers,

I sometimes use http://kompozer.net/

its not bloated like dreamweaver, its a good solution.

 

Ditto! I own Dreamweaver, and for most of my work, I use Kompozer - it's quick, it's not as powerful by any means, but it does what I want. It has it's own quirks that you get used to... but for free HTML editors, Kompozer is certainly near the top, if not the best out there...

 

Do yourself a huge favor and stay the **** away from WYSIWYGS. You want to see what it's going to look like, you should have at LEAST one example of each of the four major browser engines open, then refresh the page in EACH of them after each change.

Rubbish like Komposer and Dreamweaver just generate rubbish markup, and if you are only using them for their 'preview pane' while using them as an editor, you've pretty much defeated the point of using them.

Besides as I keep saying, the only thing you can learn from Dreamweaver is how NOT to develop a website.

 

Listing of Editors suitable for Markup hand coding. I have used HTML-Kit (in hand coding mode) for many years for all of my (X)HTML, CSS, XML, RDF, PHP and JS coding.

The goal is Interoperability (check this link) -- correct rendering in all user agents.

Keep in mind that it is very difficult to produce "pixel perfect" layouts. Reference: About.com: Web Design/HTML -- You Can't Get Every Page to Look Identical, So Stop Trying!

"It is the quality and usefulness of the content and the ease of navigation through it that are of the greatest importance to most web page users."

Why are most of you suggesting Dreamweaver when it costs $399 to buy and the guy has stated clearly that he wants a free solution?

To the thread starter, have you tried Ace HTML Free or Coffe Cup HTML Editors?

 

pls can you post links where to dowload
