While we are on the subject... Does anyone know of an HTML editor that will run without requiring a windows instal so I can do a little editting at work? As ever, preferably free.

Nick...HTML is only text.....so any text editor (including Notepad) will edit your page. Just open the page and edit it, save it, load your browser and see if the changes did what you wanted. Don't forget to hit "refresh" in the browser for the latest saved version. You can continue editing and checking your work with having to close each progam down.

That is what I do at the moment. The problem is that keep reading about people who have switched to some fancy editor and how it so much better than just using a text editor. I figure I should get in on the action.

I use Frontpage 2002 but find that I still have to get into the HTML code to make things happen the way I want them to.

Just about any editor. No matter how good. You will still have to do some tweaking to the code by hand.

Dreamweaver is by far that best. And seems to ad less usless fat to the code than most other editors.

I do HTML work for a liveing.

I will use nothing but a text editor. Its a fancy one with macros, syntax highlights and other doodads, but in the end its just a notepad with features.

I absolutly despise the garbage that your typical html editor produces. I have yet to see a single one that supports HTML 4.0 strict. The code produced is a nightmare to read, edit or suport.

When I have to support HTML writen by one of these tools, my first step is a complete re-write.


If your just trying to toss up a simple page with some links and pictures.. sure. If your going to do anything involving forms, databases, cookies or anything remotely complicated or interesting.. buy an HTML book and do it by hand.

I bought 'Creating Web Pages for Dummies', read it, and had my page up and running in 24 hours. No kidding. It's pretty easy. You might also take a look at SWish, it's a flash program that is very easy.
