Im one of the only ones who do their own

I prefer Hotdog or TextPad but also will use Dreamweaver from time to time.

Notepad!

I may be the only one on the planet that likes it.

www.multiedit.com does it all. Asm, Javascript, Perl, html, C, yada yada yada

UltraEdit, very powerful.

you missed off Adobe Golive. more common than FP in a professional environment. Golive and Dreamweaver are the only reasonable ones. Do all of mine in noted of course

Just a thought

chalk and magic markers

UltraEdit, thank you.

dreamweaver // ultradev rocks

(and has a nifty build in texteditor)

greetz

Knuff

Use Frontpage for GUI, UltraEdit for speed. Notepad sometimes.

Pico on UNIX

qasic

PFE or Wordpad (if doing a lot of text)

When I do, Notepad suits me fine..

Web based html creator, eaasy

Who ever uses a html editor?

Started on notepad, went to PFE, lately using Ultraedit32.

I hates WYSIWYGs to pieces since they never do what I want and I always end up fixing the mess they make when I try to use them. On top of that some are optimized for MS, some for IE. None of them work perfectly for all.

Notepad

I use "vi" and "emacs"

nav, you should try ' noted '. half the fat of regular editors, and tastes great!

Just a thought

hehe. yes, noted does rule.

I second that, Cal you rock! Thanks again

WYSIWYG editors stink.

i make mine the real way.

ahhh, the real way... you're obviously talking about hand-rolling the dough, chopping your own garden-fresh vegetables, and making your sauce from scratch. hmm, maybe that's the real way to make a pizza.

but seriously, there is no "real way" to make web pages. writing it by hand is just as "real" as using a wysiwyg editor, is it not? it all depends on what you're trained to use. but saying that using a wysiwyg editor isn't the "real" way is just ignorant.

I use Adobe GoLive 5

mmmmm

Hey I do make my own!

Hmm, noted is kinda neat. Thanks cal!

Hey, i make my own HTML!

another kwality cal product!

Just a thought

Nice little piece of software you got there cal.

I'm with CC on this; I write it by hand using UltraEdit .

i find it pretty funny that most of the people's pages who said they write their own html don't even validate. so i guess that just because you do it by hand, it doesn't mean you're any good at it.

..

Frontpage, and manual edits with UltraEdit.

Anyone that says they do it the "real way" are funny. If you worked on a computer the "real way" you wouldn't have a GUI of any sort.

I guess "real way" in that sense means the "first way" and usually the most difficult. I use what gets the job done.

EditPad

test

I use MS Paint and Notepad dammit!

Well I just voted for somthing because I like polls. j/k. Use dreamweaver rarley.

Ultra Edit Rokcs!!!

Tell ya what Matt, let me tell you how I see it. When w3.org's own webpage validates without warnings then I will worry or care about it. Who are they to tell me what is or is not valid when they cannot get it right themselves?

I have on word for it, and it starts with bull...............

All I care about is whether it looks alright in Nescape and I.E. Have you ever noticed that what they call "valid" does not render the same in both browsers? You may say that one of the browsers is broke. I call that a cop out and say your HTML is broke if you can't code for both of them and make it look the same in each.

Every bit of HTML code that I have ever done looked exactly the same in Netscape as it did in I.E., but yet it's not valid HTML? Bull..............

Sorry Matt. You really struck a nerve there... Didn't mean to pick on you.

Mostly, I just write my own in UltraEdit. When I do stuff for money, I use DreamWeaver so that I don't spend so much time coding and the client doesn't get angry at me for padding the bill.

Obviously, just because it has warnings, it doesn't mean that the code is invalid. They know that, which is why they ignored it.

Well, Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW, and is the overall director of the W3C.

Different browsers on different platforms will produce different results. IE will take most any crap code you throw at it, while Netscape is a bit pickier. Opera doesn't stand for anything other than perfection.

go dreamweaver

Any village idiot can produce a web site nowadays using Frontpage, Dreamweaver, etc. The village idiots are now competing in the space of the "true" web developers that learned how to hard code html from day one. The hard coders were too proud to use WYSIWYG, and continued developing the archaic way.

I was fortunate enough to learn both methods- hard coding and WYSIWYG. Both have their place in web development. I'm even humble enough to say the I like FrontPage. I like Dreamweaver. I like Homesite. I like Cold Fusion. Each software also allows me to hardcode, if I need to make subtle changes, or allows me to feel like an ancient html hardcoder folkhero.

For those that pompously proclaim that they use noted or notepad, I bet they use windows or solaris, or irix. Why not be totally pompous and tell everyone that you think in pure binary, or hexadecimal, and all your coding is done in assembly.

Oh, and one more thing... the newest paradigm is Ultradev. When are we going to hear from the old school db heros that Ultradev sucks? I can't wait to fight that one.

Everybody's technical net worth is now equal. And this bothers people. My advice: Embrace change.
