Replying to What is your favorite developer web "kit"

I use for basic coding and PHP: Notepad
Image editor: Paint Shop Pro 8 and Adobe Photoshop 7
Browser: Mozilla Firefox and IE
Ftp: WS_FTP

For the basic coding I always handcode and edit using Notepad.
I test in FireFox and IE, and generally view pages in FireFox.
To manipulate images, I use a combination of Pixia, IrfanView, Terragen, and MS Paint.
I upload with WSFTP.

Paint Shop pro for pictures
Microsoft Frontpage for html/website
Macromedia Flash MX for animations

Appart DreamWeaver

+Adobe Photoshope
+CorelDRAW
+Swish (flash anim.)
+Xara3D

and maybe some free ready scripts.

macromedia (flash and dw)
adobe (photoshop and illustrator)

i also test my site in different browser i.e. ie, moz, opera and netscape 4.xx and some tools like notepad and others

I make sure to test out my webpages in both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. I use Adobe Photoshpo and Adobe ImageReady to create graphics and animation, and I use Notepad+ to code my webpages.

I would try out other web designing programs if I had the money to pay for them.

does anyone no if i can get a free or trial version of dreamweaver? Everyone says its the best but ive never tried it. I use notepad for html editing, paint shop pro for images and my browser is IE.

I agree that WYSIWYG editors (at least the free ones) are not recommended for web page editing. You get much more flexibility and control by hand coding the HTML and other scripting. However, there are many programs out there that assist in some of the mundane aspects of hand coding pages, and my top choice is:
ACE HTML 6 Pro (or any ACE HTML version, free or pro).

As for uploading, ACE FTP is nice, but WSFTP works just fine.
Browser: IE and Mozilla Firefox

In my opinion, all WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get) editors are bad...Their code is not optimized at all...Experienced programmers will call your code bloated and refer to it as 'garbage'...

well i would rate dreamweaver the best and then flash which is kinda diffuclt to handle and then comes frontpage after that nothing i have used but some one here mention WS_FTP i never got the hold of it so gave it up.
