Your favorite HTML editor

[kaykay]

I have used NoteTab Light for many years, and although I still use it,
I am gradually doing more and more work on Notepad++.

TextPad is my tool of choice
TextPad - the text editor for Windows
Nice and simple to use.

Dreamweaver has to be the king of all editors!!

I know i have read posts where there opinions are different however belive me, i have used dreamweaver for over 5 years, been an experienced web designer for 2+ of these and would never recommend an alternative.

All design companies, web companies offer dreameweaver as the html editor. Very few offer an alternative although i am speaking from UK.

For newbies to html, if you have every placed tables in Microsoft Word then building a site in dreamweaver is a very similar process. you have an option of design view, code view or split which is ideal for beginners, as they can select design view and not get lost and frustrated within the code.

A big thumb up for dreamweaver.

P.S Dreamweaver CS3 is not as good as MX2004 or 8. Preferenced automatically fix any flash include or flash object to enable it to be web complient. This then causes issues with firefox so you have to edit the flash script and remove noscript tags it puts into place for you. A very annoying feature!!

I use Dreamweaver 8, mostly by default. I had access to it. It was great for me because I am severely html and css challenged. It works for me, but I haven't gotten too creative yet.

I have played with Front Page and NVU but didn't get too far. It's hard to get licensed software here, mostly have to order and download online. I have no idea how to use notepad and such to create a website or webpage.

It is a goal of mine to create a successful website from scratch.

I am cautious because it might start being fun and lose focus on the marketing.

I'm with you WYSIWYG people. I love Dreamweaver but i do a lot of my tutorials with NVU because it's free and that way I'm not asking anyone to buy an expensive program just to get started.

Dreamweaver is usually my answer. It not only offers a way to get into design via the wysiwyg editor but it also allows one to graduate to editing in code bit by bit. As one gets better at web design they can continue to grow within a single program.

Got to agree with MLRob. Dreamweaver is a great tool for learning CSS. I've always used it here and there but just recently got into it more. It's really amazing what you can do if you become familiar with all the CSS attributes and Dreamweaver helped me do just that.
