Hi,

As a bit of fun I would like to have a play with some HTML. Can anyone recommend a good editor for Windows. Can you use products like Frontpage and Dreamweaver to create HTML text manually?

Dreamweaver

 

You can use any text editor to write html including notepad. I've used a variety of text editors on Windows including Cream and Arachnophilia. Some text editors have templates that help out with writing html but if you are just looking for a bit of fun, open notepad, play around with some basic html, save it as "document_name.html" then open it up in a browser.

 

Thanks Guys. Oh, can you see my on the webcam Gav?!

 

Gav, if he's just playing around with a little html, Dreamweaver would be a heck of an expense, wouldn't it?

 

Agreed for sure, Trip - just a little response in jest to Boyce's answer to my opening question in THIS THREAD

I'm with you Trip - if it's out and out dirty html you want, Boycey - go notepad

 

That's what I get for avoiding web design threads.

 

i tried a lot of html editors: dreamweaver, html kit, nvu, hotdog pro, frontpage, word, topstyle, htmlpad, acehtml, butterfly xml, homesite, ultraedit, htmlgate, webedit, html builder, coffeecup html editor, xmledit, etcetera, etcetera, but i always find myself going back to good ol' notepad.

 

If dreamweaver is too expensive try Nvu for a free program.

If you're just editing html then good old notepad will do the job!

 

I don't know if Quanta is available in Windows or not, but in my playing with perl, python, php, and a couple of other scripting languages I've found I really like it. I've never used it for html, but I know it does work with it.

 

Here's a half decent one for you Boyce. Notetab

 

i know, its been mentioned but i think htmlkit is a good one. its open source and there are quite a few neat plugins available...

 

Thanks for all the input guy's.

 

another notepad replacement you could try is Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm it's very good adding line numbers (godsend for debugging scripts) and syntax support for loads of languages

 

Personally i'd go for notepad too.

It's what makes a man, the master of his markup,
also, most GUI HTML editors don't update often enough
to keep up with the w3c validation standards.
