what i dont get is why don you use a WYSIWYG program. I currently use Dreamweaver. That is the best, becuase it gives you the option to write in code also. so you can build your HTML experience while at the same time keeping your website looking like a professionals.

We have ultraedit at work, which is superb.

I have to use Crimson Editor at home, since Ultraedit isn't free. Crimson Editor is still pretty good though.

To be honest, I just use notepad and I'm completely happy with that. Making my website has really strengthened my coding strength and if I used an editor, then my learning curve wouldn't have been so steep.

I think he's referring to how typing something 20 times tends to make you remember it, whereas autocompleting editors (such as the code editor in Dreamweaver (off topic, but people know what I mean then)) mean you can become a little lazy. Plus, when you spend 15 minutes trying to find why your XHTML page doesn't validate when it's just an unclosed tag (due to the size of your page), you become a bit more careful about closing them at the point of entry.

Still, I prefer my editors biggrin.gif

What editor can I download and use that isn't a WYSIWYG(what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and is free. Currently I use NotePad but I want something better.


lyon took his time to post about the best free html editors in the freebie stuff section

http://www.trap17.com/forums/best-free-web...ors-t21124.html

on page 3, he narrowed it down to his top 3. it's a very good list and i think referring to that topic above will help you out with your decision

my personal favorite is nvu


ok- editing this post since i don't know how to delete it. i just realized i responded to someone who posted over two years ago.....blah

Nice topic, I've runned the completly same question about a month ago, when I reech the limit of what i could take on notepad's one single undo function.

Usually I prefer to use Notepad to do any HTML or CGI scripting that is relatively small scale. I find that using Notepad significantly strengthens both your logistic ability with the language as well as your troubleshooting and improvisational abilities.

If you are looking for a good, clean text editor that isn't What You See Is What You Get that has a lot of nice text-editing features (such as Regular Expression Find and Replace functions) and auto-cursor positioning for when you edit a lot of similar lines, you might want to try out TextPad. It is free and very functional and efficient.

http://www.textpad.com/

As an added bonus, you can even type Java into the editor and compile and run it, but the Java options and capabilities in no way interfere with your HTML features or projects.


Textpad are available from http://textpad.com/products/textpad/index.html on a try before you buy basis. But if it's ok buying an application in the end why not go and buy a license on dreamweaver, for an exemple?
Btw, when you install Dreamweaver you get the option to choose how you want your workspace. Either a visual layout interface or a streamlined coding environment or a combination of them both.


After done my research after a notepad like program, I ran into metapad.
QUOTE
Metapad is a small, fast (and completely free) text editor for Windows 9x/NT/XP with similar features to Microsoft Notepad but with many extra (and rather useful) features. It was designed to completely replace Notepad since it includes all of Notepad's features and much, much more.

I can heartly recommend this replacement for notepad if it is what you're looking for. I use it for notes, writing stuff and also for edit htm/php/sql files with ease. Go grab your copy @ http://liquidninja.com/metapad/
