I am a mac user. I have been using Macs forever and been using BBedit for my HTML. My workplace is changing us to PCs! ugh! Can someone give me a suggestion on a BBedit windows equivilant?
Do you want a WYSIWYG editor or just a more coder type program. I personally use Dreamweaver for 90% of my work.
If you get Dreamweaver it comes (or at least used to) with Homesite which is a pretty good coder type HTML editor. I mainly use ColdFusion Studio which is a beefed up version of Homesite that they stopped making.
I like Textpad just because you can open many files at once and use the Replace-All function, even though it's not as comprehensive as it used to be. It's good when you plenty of pages all with the same layout and want to change the paths on certain links that exist on all those pages, something (at last check) you'd have to do manually with Notepad. Of course, you could just use frames, i-frames, or server-side includes, or something else (it's been a long time since I've made a site, I'm rusty and some new-fangled methods are probably out there), but still, Textpad is useful.
I'm going to show my UNIX roots and recommend GVim, a graphical vi clone that also runs on Windows. vi is possibly the best text editor ever written (unless you like emacs).
Ditto! GVim is the best editor, bar none! The learning curve for vi is kinda steep in the beginning since it demands a complete different mindset which is deeply rooted in UNIX culture. Not for the faint hearted I must say -- you can get easily discouraged by its obscure commands and constant switching between two modes. However, once you've mastered it, it's gonna be part of you and your life.
