sonu27 Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 I relise Notepade and Editpage can edit (X)HTML pages even CSS, but they are generally txt editors. That is why I have no implied then in this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 That may be so, but some WYSIWYG editors add extra, redundant code to webpages that really isn't necessary, or can be done in a much more elegant manner.They're good for starting out, and getting a basic example of how (X)HTML/CSS works, but once you get into the nitty-gritty, it's better to do things by hand. That way, you also know exactly what's going on with your webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket20519 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'm actually in a Dreamweaver class this semester, and I must say I've found it very frustrating to use. There's just SO many buttons!I taught myself how to create HTML webpages a couple of years ago using one of those illustrated guide books.Though the book was simple, it enabled me to move on to bigger and better books, such as the HTML Blackbook.For me, it is easier to type all the code into Notepad, and if I stumble upon something I can't figure out how to code, I can either look it up online or look in a book, such as the HTML Blackbook.For others, maybe it's easier to use Dreamweaver. I'm sure if I had started out with Dreamweaver first, it would have been easy for me.Also -- I used to work for a news website. The webmaster was avid about me using Notepad and not a WYSIWYG program.That's just my 2 cents. Don't get me started on Frontpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press any key Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I voted for Dreamweaver 8.0, but I use Microsoft FrontPage 2003 which I think is realy good to.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why would you do that?Now you have upset the Ying and Yang of the whole world.I may fall over .. *Does Frontpage do layers? And as easily as Dreamweaver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kambui Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 We are new into this (i.e making a Website) little confused to use what we are using dreamwever 2004 but its not as user friendly as front page 2002 so a mix of textpad with frontpage and dreamwever is the best options i feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Press any key Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 According to Google, there are 1,920,000 for Dreamweaver 2004 tutorials (0.83 seconds) available on the Net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizTalk Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Frontpage 2003 is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I currently use NVU as it is light on system resources. I would say it does well for it's small size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonu27 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) TopStyle also lite on system resources. Edited October 14, 2005 by sonu27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOK Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 No doubt TopStyle! It has the basic syntax highlighting but built in preview with excellent CSS support. Use the MozillaControl and you can do gecko browsers (netscape, mozilla, firefox) in the preview too. Built in tools such as inserting DOCTYPEs, CSE and W3C HTML/CSS validation, Bobby validation, Tidy, Style Check/Sweeper, etc etc. It can also integrate with Dreamweaver, HomeSite, ColdFusion and FrontPage!

At0mic Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) I use PHPDesigner for building websites (supports HTML as well). Its great because it numbers each line for you and highlights the TAGS and stuff. I'm not that good at HTML and have trouble remembering all the commands so I use Frontpage to do try stuff and check how it was coded. But I dont use Frontpage to do my actual webpages becuase of all the extra crap that gets put in. I also like using the pipette in frontpage for getting HEX codes for colors I like the look of on websites etc. Edited October 16, 2005 by At0mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
