hey all, i got another question...
do you guys use dreamweaver or any other program to make your webpages?
i heard dreamweaver somtimes screws up the code etc...but i dunno.
any advice?
thxAndrew got me hooked on HTML-Kit (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chami.com/html-kit/">http://www.chami.com/html-kit/</a><!-- m -->) its the greatest.I've used GoLive for a long time but it can be saucy sometimes. For the past few years I've been using DWQeaver more and more because I was kinda forced into where I work and so I have grown accustomed to that.
There are pros and cons to both. Now that I am doig so much in CSS I almost never use the WYSIWYG mode anymore anyway. I actually only use it if I am trying to navigate my page quickly. It's easier for me to see a chunk of code "visually" than it is to actually find the code. Sometimes...
Really, with the way HTML and CSS work now, you almost don't ever need to see the WYSIWYG mode whiel coding the HTML. Now, once u start applying styles I check it out in FireFox all the time, never in GoLive or DWeaver WYSIWYG because they both render badly in my experience. You can't rely on either for that.
I abso-friggin-lutely hate DWeaver's FTP but it has a GREAT find/replace. Though I have had BOTH DW and GLive screw up a find/replace so that it ruined code. I much much prefer GLive's FTP.
They both have pros and cons. DW has a bad habit of screwing up nice neat code when you copy/paste. It has problems with always putting spaces inside areas actual spacebar spaces, which sucks as far as I'm concerned.
It is nice DW uses nbsp in P tags though.im trying out html-kit right now, it looks pretty good, do you know anything bad about it?Originally posted by Booooze

never heard of it. It's almost to the point where you don't need anything but WordPad (i think, on a PC). WYSIWYG was really helpful when using tables for layout.Originally posted by Booooze
im trying out html-kit right now, it looks pretty good, do you know anything bad about it? The only hassle I've had with it is related to the auto-preview. Under some circumstances it removes focus from the editor when it updates the preview browser. I mainly run it manually anyway but it would be nice if it worked right all the time. Also, fiddling the workspace layout is a LOT more trouble than it ought to be. But overall it's an excellent development tool for static HTML.Originally posted by Booooze

You might be interested in a ZIP file containing a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for HTML and some default templates that validate as all flavors of HTML 4.01 and XHTML.
Head to my home page ("www" button below) and go to "<FD: Search>". Hover your mouse of "Web Development" to expand the menu and click on "HTML Kit Customized (.zip)" to Download the ZIP file. It contains all the instructions you should need, and descriptions of all the keyboard shortcuts.
I can code as fast in HTML Kit as an experienced Dreaweaver robot can in Dreamweaver
thx! btw i like your site!Funny... actually, today my DWeaver kept crashing at work and I thought about this thread. After I Download ed the update to MX it still kept crashing on the same file for some reason, so I said "screw it" and just popped open WordPad to continue working.i dont use wordpad, but i always liked notepad
...thats what i always use, but now, i think it might be a good idea to switch to something a lil more professional, since my files might get a lil more complicated.I like edit pad pro (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.editpadpro.com/">http://www.editpadpro.com/</a><!-- m -->)You know, I've never considered switching to any kind of an editor - they all look exactly the same, are hard to use, and take a long time to open - because of this, I've never left my Notepad and I'm a happy camper. Homesite. Used to be a die-hard note pad-er, but I was turned to the light side by Pyro and a few others. ;-)Originally posted by TimeBandit

WordPad? Don't you mean notepad? WordPad is a rich text program i am sure Notepad would be better. So i would reccomend Notepad.
I currentley use DreamWeaver MX as the Syntax highlighting and line numbering helps immensly. I also use the GET and PUT functions for uploading my documents via FTP.
Thanks,
Davidwell, i just need something that will do perl, html, css, and maybe some php and asp when i learn them...im not quite to sure yet...o yeah, and javascript and maybe some vbscript.i use notepad because in leechftp you can use the "open in notepad" option
