Need a good HMTL editor

[BJM]

I want to learn how to do HTML with a good editor. Any suggestion? Hopefully cheap.

Have to be straight up with you on this..with programs like Front Page raw html is being faided out. You can still do html in Front Page but front page akes it easyier for you building websites. You can also view the html that was developed during you web page build.

Well..... you can always learn it yourself. All you need is NOTEPAD, and vist www.htmlgoodies.com or www.webmonkey.com . Those sites will help give you an understading of what you are learning/trying to do. Is option is all free.

I don't know html very well....just enough to get me by. I learned by reading "HTML for dummies" and using notepad. I don't know any flash, or cool things like that, but I am able to put a website up and express what I want to show. In my sig, I am currently working on www.palmyraspeed.biz - this site was all done in notepad.

And the site about my car took less then 5 minutes, but it was perfect just to show off my car.

Hope I've helped.

Go to Kazza and download Dreamweaver by Macromedia. Its pretty much the industry standard now.

Thanks for the ideas. I can piece my way through simple stuff but I want to learn the code even if I use an editor.

I bought a really fat book on HTML back in 1999 to teach myself. It was 'Using HTML 4' published by Que. In addition to that, here is one Web site that I found to be indespensible: http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/primers/primer_1.html

The first couple Web sites I did were done with Notepad including the original TCI site which was nearly 75 pages and frames based to boot. Doing it the hard way initially is the best way to grasp the basics.

Speaking of Notepad, go here and get Notepad++. The cursor positioning co-ordinates and search/replace functions come in handy.

Have fun!

HTML editor...
Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX.

For learning HTML...
look at a book like "HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide" by Elizabeth Castro

Get it at amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...5715692/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-4793123-1183366


The "HTML 4 Bible" is a good desk reference (as is all the "Bible" books):
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...102-4793123-1183366?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Good luck,
-Banning.

What does the fear of spiders have to do with html editors?

 

[jastrckl]

You're thinking of arachnoPHOBIA. A phobia is a fear, while a philia is a fetish. Thus, necrophilia is a fetish for getting it on with dead people. Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders. Arachnophilia is a spider fetish, and also a really cool html editor. Not sure if there was some sarcasm in that post. If there was, my bad for being an arse and replying :-P anyway here's the link to the program. here

Ok I have been playing around a bit by hand with Notepad. How do I do something like display two pictures side by side and how do I put a blank line between 2 pictures displayed one above the other. I keep getting them jammed on top of each other.

Thanks

probably the simplest way would just to write each pic up like this:

<p>
<img src="pic_name.jpg">
</p>

and just make new paragraph for each picture you have. when i have time i'll play around and see if there is another way to do this. i haven't really been working on my site that much, since i have a lot of computer work i have to get done for school. but to teach myself i went out and bought "HTML for the world wide web 5th edition". it is very easy to understand and i've found it is simple to pick it up pretty quickly.
