View Full Version : HTML editor? Maisie9elwa 08-14-2006, 10:04 PM Is there a free HTML editor out there? I have my web site designed, but want to add my content to it. With my old shopping cart, it was easy as clicking on the document, and then editing it in a format that was similar to Word document. Now that I dont have a shopping cart set up, is there another program out there that I can do this with, preferably that is free? Thanks! WebBaka 08-14-2006, 10:28 PM You could try http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm - My brother who is a web designer suggested that to me, but I prefer good ol' Notepad myself. :) General MJ 08-14-2006, 11:06 PM I just use Textpad...it helped when i was brand new at beginning webdesigning...and im too lazy to get a better one right now..heh J to the izzosh 08-15-2006, 02:23 AM Nothing beats a good text editor like UltraEdit. Notepad++ looks pretty decent, too. Contrary to what seems to be popular belief there is nothing good about "old Notepad" ;), so do yourself a favour and get a fully featured text editor. You seem to be looking for a WYSIWYG editor, though. They really aren't the best approach to editing HTML documents, but if you're intent on doing so, try Nvu (http://www.nvu.com/index.php); it's free and produces reasonably clean code. General MJ 08-15-2006, 02:30 AM what does ultraedit offer? and i mean extra features.. J to the izzosh 08-15-2006, 02:46 AM Quite a lot, really.

J to the izzosh 08-15-2006, 02:50 AM If you follow the above link, you'll find a full feature list. Please refrain from making unnecessary posts and diluting the help sections. General MJ 08-15-2006, 02:55 AM Omg, i didn't even know it was a link!! Lol im tired.. Maisie9elwa 08-17-2006, 05:13 AM Appears I came too late, they are all "no link" now. Thanks for the responses, Im gonna google the notepad ++ pb&j 08-19-2006, 05:45 AM i like to use HTMLkit from Chami. dookiewuvz 08-20-2006, 05:41 PM do HTML editors correct/notify you of errors in coding? pb&j 08-20-2006, 06:00 PM do HTML editors correct/notify you of errors in coding? some may "help" with color coding or auto addins for ending tags. for errors, it may be better to run your page through a validator... http://validator.w3.org/ J to the izzosh 08-20-2006, 06:11 PM Some also integrate tools similar to HTML Tidy (http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy), like UltraEdit, which can assist in correcting your code's syntax. iTom 08-20-2006, 06:30 PM Yes, you can easily make and intergrate an editor into IE. Remember, however, this only works in IE, not Firefox or all the others. This uses the MSHTML class controller. <html> <head> <script name="iEditor_controller" type="text/javascript"> function init() { iEditor.document.designMode = 'On'; } </script> </head> <body onload="init();"> <iframe src="startpage.html" name="iEditor" width="45%" height="35%"></iframe> </body> </html> More information can be found on MSDN's website. |
