What do you use to write html?

Dreamweaver

 

notepad like a champ.

 

When I fiddle around, I use Notepad++ (basically Notepad, plus a few coding-specific features built in).

 

My pee in the snow.

 

this. Works great for any language

 

notepad, duh

 

Copy/Paste

Text Wrangler.

 

Is this like... Word? I'm real good with Word. I can type and schitte..

 

As a beginner I used Notepad. Later I moved on to Dreamweaver, but I still hand code each line rather than using any of the drag-n-drop or design view features. In the past year or so I've used Visual Studio a lot because our biggest client's site is built in .NET.

I'm sure I could use something like Notepad++ or BBEdit, but clueless hiring managers like to see the cliche "industry standard" software like Dreamweaver on your resume, so I figure I might as well use it.

 

I don't use just one. You should have left a checkbox-style poll, OP.

Dreamweaver for creating PHP applications, personal pages, layout; a powerful all-in-one code/design tool
vim (vi Improved) for quick-and-dirty HTML pages or editing HTML plus Perl or SSI stuff
Write or WordPad or Notepad for ASP (on most Windows-based applications)
UltraEdit - great diff/multi-window notepad-like application that is almost like Dreamweaver, but without the properties tabs

You left out Contribute, which we use university-wide to allow users and groups to edit certain areas of our website. I make the users' accounts and someone administers the site. Contribute is a true WYSIWYG editor. No coding at all.

What's the best one? vim's colors hooked me. I know lots of commands in there, like search & replace, global editing, pasting, yanking, marking, etc. Hands down: Dreamweaver is the best. If I had it on Linux, I'd use it, but I don't.


I wished I designed more web stuff than what I do now, but I mostly do bash and perl scripting on Red Hat EL.

 

DreamWeaver

 

[edit]

nevermind...just wrote some HTML that might piss off Clutch.

In short, I only write HTML in this BBS editor,,,otherwise the real question is what javascript library do you use and how do you have your graphic designers create the css to support it.

The question is no longer what HTML editor do you use...at least not for sustainable websites and web applications.

 

I'm a web designer/developer and I use jEdit. It's a java based text editor with a ton of pluggins. i.e. Spell check, html color codes, code/checking. I'm don't use most WYSIWYG editors because they leave too much leftover tags. Once you get use to coding straight html, it's actually easy and much cleaner. Of course, I copy and paste a template first.

 

UltaEdit is by far my favorite little text editor. I use it (though not for website building) almost daily.

 

Cant really write useful HTML code but I do edit it, and when I do, I use Notepad.

 

Notepad++

 

At work, notepad.

At home, Front Page (and I refuse to look at the HTML it generates).

 

I've started using Sublime Text 2, before that I used DreamWeaver. When I worked with Java I used Eclipse and liked it.
