HTML Editors

[Paul1337noob]

In school and college ive always used Dreamweaver for HTML editing,
i always enjoyed using it with the live view so i could experience whats happening as im making changes,

i was using a copy given by a mate, 100% ligit *cough* it was working great untill recently when it started giving me errors with licencesing,

now i dont got the money to go and buy a copy,
Im pretty damn sure some of you could help me out here,

What software do you use, is there any open source or other free alternatives that are as good or better.

Thanks Paul1337noob

I just use a nice text editor with syntax highlighting. Dreamweaver does too much for you IMO (CSS/Javascript lookups) and prevents you from truly learning anything IMO.

I use Notepad++ for writing the code, and I just open the file in a web browser and stick it on my other monitor and refresh after a change to see it quickly.

If you want something that is a little more full featured like Dreamweaver, check out Aptana.

yep, notepad++ is the way to go =)

I mainly use Aptana for full fledged PHP applications. I like it because I can treat my FTP folder as a "working directory" and it has nice code completion for PHP (once you install the PHP extra bits for it). It also has a PHP debugger which can be nice.

I use Ultraedit from time to time. I mostly use it for lua/xml for addons, it is a pretty decent text-based html editor IMO

Yup, not free. If you ever need anything to do hex, XML, HTML, PHP etc, great software to use. Just saying what it does, that's all

Notepad++ as many people has said for free software
