Which is the best html editor?

For me Macromedia Dreamweaver is very good. However I do like PHP Designer 2006 which supports HTML coding and plenty more. Theres also many extended versions of Notepad for HTML which are good as well.

For me Dreamweaver is the best due to it's following features:

1) The Code Inspector

The Code inspeector did not seem that useful when I first started working with Dreamweaver. Dreamwevaer has 3 different modes after all, the code view, design view and design and code view. It took me a few months to discover the need for an additional code window when moving code around. Press F10 on the keyboard to access the code inspector.

2) Results Window

The Results Window has several extra features like the obvious search result window. It also has a validation checker, a target browser check, link checker (for external links), a workflow and HTML reports, FTP Log (where you can type in FTP commands) and a server debugger. These features come in handy when working in large groups, or getting control of a website from a client.

3) Templates and Nested Templates

My Absolute favorite feature in Dreamweaver is the Templates feature. This allows you to create a template of the site, and make pages from those templates. Sure people have been been doing this for some time, but where else can you make a change to your template and have it applied across your website. Also include in Dreamweaver MX is the Nested Templates feature, which is handy when you're creating a pretty good sized site breadcrumbs and unique navigation for each section.

4) Snippets

Do you have a commonly used script that you have to go searching for every few moments? Do you think you created a cool trick that you would like to repeat again. Use a snippet. To access the snippets window, press Shift+F9 on your keyboard.

5) Commands

By using commands you can make complicated tasks easier. Take for example the creation of a Web Photo Album. Go to the Commands menu (at the top of the page) and select Web Photo Album. It will ask you some information and it will proceed to complete the job for you.

I use Alley Code, it does html, css, php and JS

webeweb · 12-30-2008, 10:25 AM

I am totally in to Dreamweaver myself. It's easy and quick!

arun819 · 01-01-2009, 02:04 AM

I use notepad for that.
I think it is good.

HivelocityDD · 01-21-2009, 05:00 AM

I use quanta. You can use it for many languages like php. But its in linux. Dont know whether windows version is there.

genius · 02-18-2009, 02:00 AM

i use dreemever .
I think it is good.

I perfer using NotePad++, or just NotePad to code HTML, CSS and PHP.
Both programs are easy to use, and they have no "fancy functions" such as DreamWeaver.
If I need to find errors in my code, I might use DW because of its function to find missing brackets/divs, or I will look through the code in NotePad.

I perfer using DreamWeaver instead. It's far more complicated to use NotePad, and in DreamWeaver you'll have access to a lot of functions that might help you out, such as missing brackets as you said.

I use pspad - its a free text style editor that can open html, css, and php.

funtush · 02-22-2009, 11:48 PM

I am using dreamweaver cs3 and notepad++.
But over all notepad++ is nice editor.

vks87 · 04-03-2009, 01:54 AM

I agree with arun..You said correctly...
thanks

Steven Myers · 05-17-2009, 11:34 AM

HIGHLY recommend Html-Kit.

chriscash01 · 05-17-2009, 09:50 PM

macromedia is good but i think its not adviseable for slow connection to visit such site that is build via flash., manual is the best using notepad., via note pad you can put a little maze to manipulate all spammers.

JamesYap · 06-02-2009, 03:51 PM

Hmm, no one mentioned about FrontPage? Actually it is known as Microsoft Expression Web 2 now. I have been using it since FrontPage 98 and there is no turning back. I find dreamweaver a bit complicated to use. I still have FrontPage 2003 installed on my PC! But it no longer generate correct CSS based design. But Expression Web 2 is doing it perfectly. Highly recommended. [OK for those who don't anti microsoft only]

zheng0836 · 07-07-2009, 07:18 AM

Sharepoint · 07-23-2009, 04:23 AM

I use Notepad because its very simple and easy to use.

goandcheck · 09-10-2009, 11:07 AM

Dreamweaver is the best for sure :) by the way it is not any more macromedia dreamweaver it is Adobe Dreamweaver... Adobe got it from Macromedia... However make sure you try Dreamweaver CS4, it is really cool...

weker · 09-11-2009, 02:37 PM

For me it's dreamweaver, the best around, but it's not free. Also good notepad++

webguy7 · 09-12-2009, 07:47 AM
