UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat HTML editor [Poll]

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.

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.
