HTML EDITORS
Personally, I don't have much use for HTML Editors - I find I can code more quickly
and have more control over the finished page if I just use a plain text editor such as
NotePad™. I also use NotePad to open and edit Style Sheets - set the computer to open files with extension .css in NotePad. This is how I use NotePad to give a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) effect :
- Open the HTML page in the browser you want to use.
- View the Source Code with NotePad in another window (in Explorer, this is "View" and "Source")
- Edit the text, putting in whatever tags you want
- "Save" the file
- Click on the window with the Browser view, and click "Refresh"
- You will see the changes you have made
- Save and refresh after each change - it's easier to see if you made a mistake
If you want to play things safe, in case of foul-ups with the code, save a backup copy
of the original file first before making changes.
When editing with NotePad, or most other Windows-based text editors, there are some
very useful short-cuts : when text has been highlighted (by left-click and drag the mouse)
Ctrl-x will cut it to the clipboard, Ctrl-c will copy without cutting, Ctrl-v will paste
from the clipboard, and Ctrl-z will undo the last step. The left hand stays with the
little finger over the Ctrl key and the index finger moves to the other keys as
needed - one can work up quite a speed and still be accurate.
However, if you want to try some editors, here is a list of some shareware or trial versions available for download. Beware of the big fancy programs - they often try to second-guess you, and put in code automatically without you knowing it (FrontPage has a particularly nasty habit of putting in junky code whenever you open a file with it)
