What web editors do you all use. I've done some stuff hard code but am never happy with the results. I've used friends Dreamweaver cd's and got great results from that, but for 300 bucks, of course you would. So what do you guys use.

If you have the money, Dreamweaver and Fireworks are great(macromedia). I dont have them, but ive used em. GolIve is hard to learn, but you make some cool stuff iwth it. FrontPage is awful. Windows PageMaker Professional or sumin like that is a free download and is pretty good.

fireworks is the worst macromedia program ever made. don't even try using it...it blows hardcore.

[Formerly Sane]

Frontpage isn't that bad. I used it to make my site but you can do more with other programs.

[stevo123]

at my high school we have fireworks and dream weaver which are both pretty sweet but cost an assload.

[Alexthebeast]

I like notepad

[stevo123]

umm have you ever actually made a real big web page, cuz if you just use html code it is tedious as hell? i learned with notepad to learn basic html coding so i can use it in other programs but solely using it is kind of err.. retarded. i guess it depends on the kind of web pages you're making. whatever, each to his own.

Well, me, being the cheapo that I am, have always just used notepad. Foam Fortress was all done by hand.

Top 5 list of web editors:

5.

4.

3.

2. Notepad (any small text editor will do)

1. Dreamweaver

If you're a university student, you should be able to get Dreamweaver student edition (fully functional) for about $80 at your campus computer store. If you're not a university student, you should be able to do the same - if they give you shit about student ID, find a cute girl in the English textbooks section to buy it for you. She'll be impressed by your computer savvy and you may be able to score more than just a web editor.

The people at BCC use edit plus. I haven't really used it yet because I'm doing hard core comp sci, but it looks like you can use it to edit any kind of language imaginable. You select what you're using, and it highlights the keywords and makes the comments green etc. I think it may help debugging too. It just won't compile anything other than java.

For www.LGLF.tk I use Dreamweaver. It's really good if your service provider allows FTP acess. Before Geo-wang took it away, I could just modify the site on my computer and update everything real quick from inside Dreamweaver.

[Alexthebeast]

All by hand, I have made a couple web pages for my friends, and with a little help from javascript.

[Spark Plug]

I like notepad.

[stevo123]

but when you consider images and effects and crap then fireworks and dreamweaver own all. basic html is good on notepad though.

[Alexthebeast]

No, because it takes like $800 to own the 2 of em' legally, which means they do not "own all"

Wrong answer.

You don't know how to use it.

Regardless, you can take a look at some products of hard code and Photoshop working in tandem: http://newradicals.net , http://emayhem.org

Cheers, mate.

[stevo123]

yeah doogie is right firworks is just complicated, but definitely doesnt suck. atb, i said it was the best image crap not the most practical for a teenager to ownbecause as you so aptly put it they cost a shitload.

[Alexthebeast]

Well I like it, I use it in school. But I could live with photoshop, ya know?

you just don't know how to make a point.

don't be a dumbass. if you're going to tell me fireworks is awesome, show me some websites made with fireworks. you can't prove your point by showing me sites made with photoshop, because i never said photoshop wasn't cool.

cheers

A few sites where Fireworks was used:

• Electronic Mayhem
• NerfOnline
• Bald Rocket
• My iSight
• xForums
• Kompromize.com
• QoW.net

That "regardless" should have slapped you in the face with "the following is unrelated to the previous."

[Ares]

If youre in grades i think 8-12 or sumin, you can get Macromedia Studio(fireworks+Freehand+Flash+Dreamweaver+sumin else maybe...) in Student Edition for sumin for $175.

[Alexthebeast]

Ha! Maser Slippyfist, that is awsome. Laughing for a few minutes awsome. Did you make it?

[Sandman]

Fireworks is good. I'm working on making my own personal site using it, and it's been very helpful. I've only got parts done at the moment, though, so maybe I'll present it at some other time.

I've made plenty of large websites on just notepad. Hell, I've made ALL of my websites (except 1) on notepad.

Editors are for the weak fingered!!

Editors are for the weak fingered!!

Damn straight, man! I've used editors before, but I just feel like I have so much more control with HTML.

Why else would it say "Groove" on the bottom left corner of the pic?
