HTML CSS Web Developer Toolbox; Text editors
The best one-on-one file comparison editor hands down. Nothing comes close! Integrating a one-to-one line matching algorithm makes this is the simplest file comparison tool for use on a day-to-day basis.
My anything editor. Be it markup for a HTML template or opening some never before seen file ending in an alien extension, UltraEdit’s my choice. Intelligent syntax suggestion and an assortment of provided and freely available syntax highlighting formats makes my job easier.
Is there any other tool that provides semantic markup of content that comes even close to the quality generated by TinyMCE? Officially, no. There are some competition very close behind.
TinyMCE has a familiar interface so you can concentrate on content generation and not which buttons create three-tier unordered lists! I admit I’ve made a few two level lists now with TinyMCE…
As interest and wider support of WYMeditor – currently in beta – springs forth I expect to install WYMeditor as the default Administrator level text editor but provide TinyMCE as the default for client-accessible content.
Hi Michael,
I basically use Dreamweaver Code View for all my HTML/CSS coding.
I tried UltraEdit a few months back but couldn’t get used to it.
I’ll download and try the other you mentioned.
Cheers,
Kyle.
Thanks Kyle, I have a few colleagues that wouldn’t sleep at night without DW nearby! What do you use DW for though, it’s the most expensive code editor if that’s all you’re using of the suite.
Do you make use of FTP check in/out functionality in your field, I’d be interested to know how it developed in the last release; your site is missing something too, content?
Hi Michael,
The main reason why I like it and pay the extra dosh for it is because I can quickly flick into display view and check out how the code is looking, instead of having to go into Firefox and keep on clicking the refresh button over and over again – just a personal preference of mine
. The other main function I use is as you said the FTP functionality.
“your site is missing something too, content?”
Your right on the mark with that one, I only use that site to test stuff and just as a personal page. I don’t have a “business” website per say yet, but I’m planning on getting a website up and going by the end of the year and taking on some free lance work, I’m just to busy with school and all at the moment.
Kyle.
I’ll write a post over the next few days as to why I don’t use DW; I used to exclusively use DW before moving into a web production environment.
Good luck with you projects Kyle, let me know how things go!
Thanks Michael,
I’ll stick around and have a read, I’ve subscribed to your feed.
Cheers,
Kyle.
