*groan* I am on the quest for a decent editor (for hard coding not WYSIWYG) Please dont say Homesite. Any thoughts?

Dana,

I recommend "1st Page" by EvrSoft. It's strictly a text HTML editor, has won numerous awards, comes with many great javascripts and cgi-scripts to incorporate in your site. I use it as my default text editor when handcoding in Dreamweaver.

And it's free. Very nice program.

I just visited the EvrSoft website at
http://www.evrsoft.com

from where I downloaded it and it seems they're revising the site. But they have a link to reviews and a page at Download.com where you can get it the program.

I think it's a program that's tough to beat, especially when it's free.

Sean

If you want just a plain old text editor without the fancy colors and stuff then I'd suggest EditPad. I found this program awhile ago and I love it. The person that made it has split it up into 3 versions now and the big version will have color coding. You can get it at jgsoft.com It's basically notepad, but you can have multiple documents open at once, it has 16 last used documents listed, it doesn't cram everything together like notepad does when you save sometimes, and some other cool goodies. :) Simple, Small, Easy to use. Maybe not something with gigantic error catching, but it's free(you just need to send the creator a post card if you use the classic version) and worth checking out.

A pessimistic person sees the glass as half empty, optimistic half full... when in fact the glass is completely full. Partially with water and partially with air.

There's a good utility that comes with Corel Linux, it's like an enchanced notepad, it does colour coding and has replace/search etc.. and a few other features. I think it gnotepad+ but not sure since there are many text utils with Linux, runs in X by the way.

Microsoft Visual Interdev is good for hard-coding HTML documents etc..., but not really good for Perl etc.. since when it comes to script colour-coding then it assumes ASP.

Have you tried Arachnophilia? I haven't used it much, but it seems to be very nice. And it has that price tag you like (free) :) http://arachnoid.com

I use Notepad and Frontpage 2000 so I can preview after I edit in notepad, it works real good!

I never used pico but heard its limited though, only texts :)

I use a program called EditPlus. I initially started using it to edit Miva Merchant files (because it had a module that color-coded those files). Anyway, it works great for HTML. It offers complete HTML control with all of the nice shortcuts. Also has global search & replace, and a preview mode. Simple, but very functional.

It costs about $30 for the full license, you can download for a trial period at www.editplus.com (http://www.editplus.com)

I use HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com). It has nice syntax-coloring, lot of plug-ins, you can store your own code snippets, and it's free. If you need to search/replace many files, you might want to try BKReplaceEm (I forget the URL) which supports regular expression.

If your primary OS is Linux then Kdevelop is a cool choice. I use it a lot personally... :)

On windoze I would suggest
1st page, coffecup or hotdog
All are quite OK.
Dreamweaver is also very good though it has a WYSIWYG interface too...

Have a great day :)

I use HomeSite 1.2, ye olde freebie. It's the one by Nick Bradbury, not Adobe. Is it just the later HomeSite versions that you don't like, or this one too?

I like EditPlus. It is not only good for HTML bust also for PHP, JAVA or even just for plain text.

1st Page 2000 is definately the BEST HTML editor.. Dreamweaver is up there too...

again, this thread has been pulled up from September last year!

Bob.. I admire your enthusiasm, but as a tech support guy you might look at a few small details like the fact a post is 15 months old before you try to solve it.

Obviously the rest of us didn't look either :D

Hi!
I'm trying not to answer to old ones.
However, I find some of them interesting and just can't resist.
I'm sorry if it is bothering you. I'll try my level best to answer only new posts. :)

Have a great day

Regards
Amar
