Best HTML / CSS editor
 

Hey, what do you guys consider the best html + css editor?

I'm not looking for a bullshit frontpage type of application, but I would like to make my life easier with a better editor than like wordpad, htmlkit, etc.

The css part is the most important. I'd like something smart that stores colors in your project / site. For example, if I create a .style with a background color of #CCCCCC, i'd like it to store that color somewhere on a list, so when i'm deep into my css and i'm looking for a grey color, I can see that i've used #CCCCCC already, and grab it again for consistency.

Anyone have any tips for editors that can do shit like that? Thanks!

See sig........

Those are the only tips you need..

Fuck HTML editing... Hire a fucking Indian overseas for a few quarters a day..... IDIOT...

The only question you should be asking is, how the fuck am I gunna get some GRADE A Ass tonight.

And I have the answer.

I'm looking for a kickass HTML editor, not how to get arrested by buying minors alcohol and having sex with them.

You know what you are called in my part of the world??

A geek...........

Why do you want to play with HTML anyhow??

Whats the point..

Maybe go on myspace, fuck the bitch and have her little brother or sister do the HTML for you while she sucks you off out back.

What's with the closed mind??

Wont get you anywhere kid.

Trust me.

BBedit :thumbsup

Oh no, not that. I'll go out and buy some underage girls beer tonight so i'm not called a geek by some random Internet person.

Thanks i'll check it out!

Haaa!!!

:thumbsup

nice replyes Anal Hobbit:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ignore the trash that thinks it's funny :sleep

Depends really what suits you best vanillaice - apart from standard text editors (UltraEdit, NoteTab Pro etc) for hand coding, - you may want to check out Dreamweaver. If I get your meaning, think DW may do what you want.

There are also 1000's of plugins for DW and you can write your own if there is something specific you want. :thumbsup

I fully recommend WeBuilder! I friggin love this thing. I bought it early last year and man, I don't use anything else!
Here's a quote about the feature which will solve your problem:

EditPlus is my fav

Yep! :thumbsup Another good one Nookster!

Oh and say like you're typing the code in the editor, and you type "blahblah #" right when you type the # a select box will pop up with an array box of colors. :)

Ive used this..

Its pretty good.

I actually downloaded the demo last night, and it seems like a great program, but it doesn't do exactly what I was hoping regards to the colors.

I think the application would be perfect if say I started a new project for my site, and this 'project' stored information like colors used in my css file, and classes/ids (although it probably does the class/id thing). When I select a color using the 'inspector', and see the color palette's, it would be cool if one of the palette's were a list of colors used in my project.

If that makes sense. Does that editor have something like that?

macromedia Homesite is a good one. I use it and have no problems with it.

LOL


Notepad works well :2 cents:

I use that, but only for the FTP functionality. Otherwise it's all hand coded. The colour coding is a nice touch, but I never use any of the "tools"... it's just all from memory, which is the best way to get a truly validated site.

You can make custom "snippets" to insert in your project. Like say you use a certain css layout in a lot of your projects you can make a custom snippet and then insert it in your docs. Here's the overview for it. Or you can make a custom template with the css in it and the whole document ready to go.
If you're heavy into coding, like me, and don't like the whole what you see is what you get environment (like frontpage/dreamweaver) you'll love this thing. I paid the $40 for it and to tell the truth I would have paid much more. :2 cents:

Nice, I actually just found what i'm looking for as well. It's a pain, but I can edit the color.ini file and add a palette, so whenever i'm working on a site and find a color I like, I can just add it to the palette.

Maybe i'll give this program a second look. Thanks!

Yah, that's another way. I would have mentioned it but a lot of people don't know that much about the way programs work lol. Kudos to you. :thumbsup

You can do snippets and such with html-kit too, plus if you've never checked out the hundreds of plug-ins, it could be worth a look.
Sounds like you got it worked out, I'm just sayin'.

I like VIM (VI Improved) its free and does everything I need. on my laptop I have quanta plus which is really really nice, but the windows version, quanta gold, is lacking...

Sorry but notepad sucks if you're serious into programming.. I'd suggest VIM or TextPad.

If you're serious about programming, notepad should be all you really need. :2 cents:

Homesite or Webbuilder

Macromedia HomeSite is the best, code snippets, regular expressions (believe me, you'll need this), the best search & replace (across projects, folders, etc.), everything I've ever needed and I've been building web pages for 12 years.

(Oh god, has it been that long???)

:thumbsup

homegrown is the best

Dreamweaver or EditPlus...that's what i use

Dig this one: EDIT PLUS
I have used it for years!
Fitz

Thank you for the replies everyone. Some great suggestions here!

Dreamweaver + EmEditor :thumbsup

exactly... I get so much more done quicker by using Notepad

buahah do you use pbrush.exe for your photo editing and windows movie maker for your video post work too? :1orglaugh

You guys are seriously missing out, for even modest development work an app like HomeSite is incredibly powerful and can do WAY more than Notepad in much less time .. still use Lynx browser too?
;)

1stpage,Notepad++,Crimson etc rock!

you don't need an editor, you need this

been a fan of DW for a while now...hit f10 on it when I need to go into l33t html c0ding mode/ph34r the wysiwyg editors...

;)

STFU, ooooh aaaaah... there we're all impressed. Impressed about how stupid you are about time managment.

How about your reading skills? I said I use Homesite... later I said that notepad is all you should really need if serious about programming.

Come back and puff your chest after you figure out what you're talking about.

How about your reading skills? Cuz I specifically told you to shut the fuck up.

Heh, I read that just fine, and you're more of a retard than I thought if you really think I'd do anything you told me to :1orglaugh

i use vi on my box, and notepad on win32

vi....
or win$ux editplus

textpad is the best.

Yeah I do.

Its a quick easy way to make sure the page is setup in a way thats easily parsed by the spiders... if it doesnt make sense in lynx, then it wont to the spiders...
