Which software do you use to create your HTML and CSS?

Back in the day I would use Dreamweaver to build a page but with the success of CSS and the implementing of web standards I find it much more rewarding to write the code from scratch. I use Wordpad to create my HTML and my CSS and I can't see myself using any other software.

How do you design??

I use dreamweaver or notepad. Now that I know how to make it and know the code its much easier than before.

Yeah, at first it can seem crazy but once you learn the quirks and know what you're doing there really is no other way to design. At least in my humble opinion anyway.

Yup, and since I wrote the CSS Tutorial which was almost from memory, helped alot cause now I remember alot more of it, without needing to look online or in a book.

A text editor - no specifc one, depends what computer I am using. The only downside I (personally) have is with complex tables, its a pisser when you forget to close a tr or td and have to "debug" a sea of them Wink

Well I am addicted to dreamweaver and using it since last two years. I like it.

The other one which is simple is TextPad. I have it installed on my machine and sometimes I use that but very rarely.

Right, a good Windows editor I use is Programmer's File Editor (PFE)

I just use notepad. Its not the best though.

How is PFE? Better than notepad?

Thanks, im going to download it

Cool, let me know what you think of it

I don't think it supports my operating system. (Vista)

Yes it does - I have it on my Vista PC. It was released (before) Vista and XP, so won't say it supports them on the list, but it definately does.

I even run it through Wine on Linux

Ok, I didn't install it yet then.

I prefer to use dreamweaver due to many of it's unique features like it allows users to preview websites in locally-installed web browsers. It also has site management tools, such as FTP/SFTP and WebDAV file transfer and synchronization features, the ability to find and replace lines of text or code by search terms and regular expressions across the entire site, and a templating feature that allows single-source update of shared code and layout across entire sites without server-side includes or scripting. The behaviours panel also enables use of basic JavaScript without any coding knowledge, and integration with Adobe's Spry AJAX framework offers easy access to dynamically-generated content and interfaces.

My first choice is always Dreamweaver apart from it i stick to notepad++ and EditPlus

glad to know that few more on this thread are with dreamweaver like me thumb

Has frontpage been replaced by another product?

I think frontpage is now a history and nobody use it.

Dreamweaver
Editplus
notepad++

Dreamweaver... Occasionally use notepad, but as long as you apply the correct settings to the software it won't try and take over your code writing, just do nice things, like close paragraph tags etc!

Plus as it colours your tags it's so much clearer when writing HTML and CSS.

Sounds good, is it responsive?

It's pretty industry standard. Very responsive, but quite expensive if you are paying for it paranoid

I went through a stage of writing in notepad, but just found dreamweaver to be quicker, as it it completes some stuff before you have written it!! thumb

Took me a little to get used to though

Those auto generated end tags when you type your start tag (HTML Tags) are code hints provided by the dreamweaver.

I can see now that there is majority of users using Dreamweaver juggle

Sometimes I do use TextPad too. Simple environment and easy to use and free to download.

I've never really cared for Dreamweaver, thought it was overrated to begin with.

Then again, I've been doing HTML work half my life so...I'm a bit of a stickler for using, well, whatever happens to be handy at the time that doesn't require me to load something else up.

I just do all mine by hand, and reference a few 3rd party sites for anything I need that I don't have memorized. Its really not that hard at all.

I use PHP Designer 2007 Personal Edition (free download). It's a fantastic program that helps me out a lot by displaying colored code, and various cool shortcuts to coding CSS, PHP, and HTML.

I use vim. Nothing fancy. Just a good solid text editor.

Not an Emacs fan then Wink

I use vi lots to administer my boxes, what are the advantages of vim over vi?

Most newer versions of vi are vim, just aliased to a different command. Vim has a few more features and more enhanced scripting and configuration support. I know that I use some of them because whenever I try to use my rc file on a non-vim setup, it beeps and yells for a bit telling me that some stuff isn't supported. But I can never remember what it is.

And no, blech on EMACS.

Right, cheers for the advice

I try to keep everything in Textmate. I'm a mac user. But sometimes I open up coda when working with complex css.

DreamWeaver and Crimson / Emerald Editor.

I like Dreamweaver because it allows me to setup a site and creates relative links for me on the fly. The preview feature is usually broken depending on the CSS you use (I like YUI).

I use a text editor such as Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word.

I'm using (and will always do) the old good Notepad++ . . simple, there is no graphical tweaks like in dreamweaver for example . . and I can just do all what I want ? why searching for something else ?

You may tell me that dreamweaver is displaying the preview; yes that's nice, but personally I work directly by uploading using FTP . . so I get a live review of my coding.

Don't tell me about it . .

I use Microsoft Expression Web through my Microsoft Partner program. I think it has the same features as Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver is the first I used and still the best I think...

I use dreamweaver. because dreamweaver is best HTML editor.

I prefer to use dreamweaver.

I use dreamweaver or notepad.

For gettins the css, hxxp: www. metatitan. com/cssbuilder. php use this site. It wil write the css statements for u

Thanks and Regards,

Lots of softwares are availble , But my favorite HTML and CSS creating software is Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is one of the best WYSIWYG editors on the market. It is undemanding to use and creates great Web pages
