here is one that ive been playing with today you dont even have to downlaod anything its an online html editor.. http://www.htmleditor.net/ Also coffeecup frontpage dreamweaver and notepad are cool Hope this was helpfull
Here's a few names to get you started. I underlined the ones I've used in the last few years, & bolded the ones I've heard good things about. Aedix UPOhtml Alleycode HTML Editor Aptana Arachnophilia BBEdit Bluefish CoffeeCup HTML Editor CSE HTML Validator Crimson Editor (always hearing good things about this one, not too fond of it myself though) EditPlus Evrsoft 1st Page HTML-Kit Adobe HomeSite Notepad 2 NoteTab PSPad Quanta Plus SCREEM Siteaid skEdit Taco HTML Edit TextMate TopStyle Notepad++ Weaverslave I prefer to keep what I use now a secret.
I like Composer, which is part of Mozilla. It's free and has a word processor-like interface. When you first download it and start Mozilla (NOT Mozilla Firefox), it will open in Navigator. Simply select "Window --> Composer" from the menus (or CTRL+4) to open the Composer window. HTH, Tom
Visual Studio (or Visual Web Developer Express for the free version) - but then it does .Net as well as HTML so is relevent for us
Start >> Run >> notepad.exe I actually use Notepad2 because it becomes awfully tedious to find that PHP error on line 1498 in Notepad.
Anything that writes text will do. Syntax colours are a plus. One of the things I liked about the Knoppix distributions of Linux was that vi's syntax colours were on by default. Looked nice on black background. Hell, I've written a basic website on the back of an envelope on the train. No, it wasn't a Lincoln site. All you need it text text text. And then a real browser to test it in. Never trust dreambeaver's "browser" as it doesn't have the rendering engine of real browsers.
Do you mean an HTML text editor or a WYSIWYG editor. Notepad is the best (or the one from evrsoft if you love seeing things in multi-color) as a text editor. DreamWeaver is superb as a WYSIWYG editor.
It's a tad complicated if it's only going to be used for webpage type stuff though, don't you think ? Is there somthing about Europe edition that I don't know ?
I don't agree that Eclipse is complicated to use. Also, I prefer using an integrated development environment rather than having to mess around with a bunch of different tools (HTML Editor, CSS Editor, Build Tool, Repository Client, FTP Client,...). No, probably not. Europa (note that there was a typo in my posting) is just a fancy codename for this year's refresh of Eclipse. As far as I know, the Eclipse Europa release is the first one to include the web standards toolkit without having to install any additional packages. Watch out for "WST" in the Eclipse packages compare listing. Though the classic edition is still available, it does not fully include the web standards toolkit. Quote from the WST page: Though I prefer the JSEclipse plugin for javascript development.
I don't think it's complicated either, but I imagine you like me have been using these applications for a few years now. No doubt someone less experienced is going to look at the "File -> New..." menu & scratch their head. There isn't a single option in that menu for the default install that hints at Webpage design. The learning curve for Eclipse in the beginning is nearly a vertical wall.
