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. :)

    • The new re-designed Win11 start menu is a ripper, FatMan.
    • They already are small. Have you seen the size of Linux icons?

    • Foxconn to make iPhone casings in India as Apple shifts more production from China by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar It was recently reported that Donald Trump was unhappy with Tim Cook and threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if iPhones weren't produced in America. While the exact reason is unclear, some speculated that Trump's anger had to do with Cook skipping the Middle East trip with him, which was attended by other major company CEOs. Many believed that Apple came under the radar because of its plans for a $1.5 billion iPhone production plant in India. True or not, Apple is facing a tough situation as Trump has already imposed hefty tariffs on China, where the majority of iPhones are made. In a move to reduce dependence on China, Apple planned to shift its production from China to India, where tariffs are relatively lower. In line with this, a fresh report by The Economic Times suggests that Apple's iPhone assembler, Foxconn, has decided to start producing iPhone casings in India. Sources claim that a new unit is being planned at the ESR Industrial Park in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu. The area is close to the upcoming display module manufacturing plant. Until now, Tata Electronics was the one producing iPhone casings in India. However, Foxconn, which was assembling iPhones in the country at its plant in Sriperumbudur, will start making iPhone casings as well. This move suggests that Foxconn is helping Apple move more production out of China to India. Prabhu Ram, vice president, industry research group, CyberMedia Research, said, Foxconn has already ramped up its India push. The company recently started production of Apple AirPods in Hyderabad for exports and is also setting up an iPhone production plant in Bengaluru. Casings only make up about 2-3% of the total iPhone cost, making them locally helps Apple reduce costs, and also helps avoid hefty tariffs.
    • I loved the initial compact Start Menu present in Windows 10. It was tiny, awesome and super fast without any Store apps clutter.
