Best Editor for xHTML/PHP/CSS?


Question

Hey all,

Just like the title says, I am looking for an alternative to Notepad...for some reason, people seem to think that they are amazing, just because they code from Notepad :huh:.

I am looking for something that would possibly have syntax helping, also. Hopefully, the program isn't very bloat with features I won't really use. Also, free is good :yes:

Any ideas? Thanks in Advanced!

^ TextPad 4.7.x doesn't associate itself with any files by default. I removed all the shortcut buttons in Textpad besides the File and Edit buttons, and turned on Line Numbering. Memory usage is usually ~2.5MB max if you have 1 document open.

I think the text editor you use is a personal preference, just like what browser and email client you use.

HTMLKit is the best lightweight code editor for Windows that I've used. BBEdit for Mac.

For more comprehensive solution for building and managing complete websites, Dreamweaver MX 2004 cannot be beat. And don't be fooled...it's much more than a WYSIWYG editor. I don't even use the WYSIWYG features, but it's the only program I use anymore (outside BBEdit for quick changes to individual files).

I just use notepad. And no, i don't use it to be "1337", i use because its all that i need.

Do i hate syntax highlight? No.

Do i have a use for it? No.

Do i know how to write the tags, or do i need a dropdown jumping in my face while i type in the tags? I know the tags. ;)

I think everyone on this forum knows that Dreamweaver is #1. But it doesn't have the best CSS tools (because most people who use Dreamweaver don't write their own stylesheets, as other people do), so hands down the best CSS Editor is TopStyle Lite/Pro.

Thats just not right.

Dreamweaver might have the best WYSIWYG, but you can't state that Dreamweaver is the best program. At least not as a fact.

And when i don't use notepad for CSS, then topstyle is a great CSS editor. :)

    • YouTube app is no longer compatible with several iPhones by Taras Buria Google is rolling out a new update for the YouTube app on iOS, and it is bad news for those still using an old iPhone. Starting with version 20.22.1, the latest release in the App Store, YouTube for iPhone now requires iOS 16 and newer. Previously, the app required a device with iOS 15 and newer. The new hardware requirement makes several iPhones incompatible with the latest version of the YouTube app. Those include the iPhone 6S / 6S Plus, iPhone 7 / 7 Plus, and the original iPhone SE. The seventh-generation iPod touch is also no longer compatible. On the iPad side, the update kicks out the second-generation iPad Air and the fourth-generation iPad mini. Although old iPhones can no longer install YouTube version 20.22.1 and newer, old versions continue working just fine. However, going forward, users will not receive new features and improvements. Also, at some point in the future, the app will stop working altogether. Another workaround is to use the web version of the app, but that also provides a limited experience compared to the up-to-date client. Google is not the only service that kicks out old and now unsupported Apple devices. Recently, WhatsApp developers dropped iPhones that cannot run iOS 15.1 or newer. The news is clearly a bummer for those who are still using their old iPhones, which, to Apple's credit, have a solid lifespan (as long as you are happy with the battery life). However, it is also worth keeping in mind that the iPhone 6S series was released almost a decade ago. Having ten years of support is impressive, but it is clearly time to move on. Perhaps my friend with his day-one iPhone 7 Black can finally consider buying something less ancient.
