Best HTML Editor

I started off by using NotePad and FrontPage, but when i started using Dreamweaver 4 about 3 months ago, I've never touched any other HTML programs. DWMX is good too, but it's too expensive for me. So I would say DW4 is good too.

I think that limit only applies to Windows 98 and below. NT 4 had a limit, but it was well over 50k. XP Pro doesn't seem to, but 3mb was the largest file I had on hand to test it with, so it might have one, just bigger than that.

I can somewhat see your point if you're talking about using Notepad as a programming or scripting editor, but for just making HTML documents, I wouldn't expect the 50k filesize limit-- assuming it applies to you-- to be a problem. If your webpages are that large, I think it may be time to redesign.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be any limit with notepad on WinXP.


But then it crashes when it opens big files.

I made a 200 MB test file with notepad without problems in XP Pro. :) . Just took 2 minutes.. :D .

I used to use the HTML editor which comes with CuteFTp, now i use EditPlus 2. Its good :)

Well when I used their replace thingy, it took forever to replace those stuff. I prefer wordpad for php stuff.
 
CuteHTML was pretty good but never really used it. :p

For PHP or any other coding stuff, use EditPlus 2! It does everything. ;)

wordpad doesn't have highlighting, and no word wrap. it's very bare bones.
 
i use editpad. it has tabbed files (that is, it opens new files in tabs in the obe window, though you can set it to open mulitple instances of the program). i like it because you can search and replace across all the files you have open at the time, and it doesn't seem to have a limit on file size or file numbers open.

yes, like notepad you need knowledge of html, but c'mon, html is not to learn. pffft.
 
I started my website from scratch and with very little knowledge using notepad and I am still using it now. Never encountered any problems. However, I am tempted to switch my files to Microsoft Word, in case I hit some limits using the basic and primitive notepad...:eek:
 
NetObjects

I am using NetObjects for normal websites and WebObjects when I need to do heavy programmation.

NetObjects let me see the entire web site from a tree structure point of view.

WebObjects let me create a complex interaction between users and a database.
 
WYSIWYG----Dreamweaver MX (although FrontPage 2002 is ok, not as powerful)
Other than that, for hand-coding, I used CoffeeCup and I will start to again when I see a cracked version on KazaaLite :-D
