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. :)

    • Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.
    • its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
    • 3,900 mAh. When compared to the S25 Ultra (5,000), the S25+ (4,900) and the S25 (4,000), it has the worst battery of them all, all because of that slim size. Everything comes with sacrifices.
