I've always used Notepad and then Frontpage to check my code and spruce it up a bit. Someone tell me what Dreamweaver is, how it works, and the pros and cons, please.
I used Notepad for a long time for HTML and JavaScripts. I also used Netscape's design program and then fixed the code in Notepad. But now I use CuteHTML for all of my web programing. It's just a text editor but it has line numbers and auto code insertion.
Most GUI web design tools tend to do really weird things with the code they output. For example, Netscape Composer always adds a line-break between the top of the page and the table if the table is the first thing on the page. CuteHTML works great for Perl, PHP, JavaScript, etc. Happy coding,  vujsa
I have to admit, I use notepad. But because I don't actually do any REAL programming (I use eclipse for programming programming), notepad is perfect. How hard is it to write something like:
CODE <html> <head> <title>webpage</title> </head> <body> Content or whatever </body> it doesn't really take an external program to write all that junk out. My site (in my sig) was completely made with notepad and I didn't have any trouble with it ^_^
I use dreamweaver. Mainly just because the interface helps me manage sites and check whether or not code is working very quickly.
yup, dreamweaver is very useful and friendly. it can help you to do error checking for HTML. also, compatibility of browsers will be addressed. a very useful program. but at my place, it is very expensive, about 400.USD.

i think this topic was there somewhere else... search before you post.
anyways i use macromedia dreamweaver mx, fireworks mx and flash mx. i am a big fan of all macromedia products. but hey.. i also use notepad very often :-)
i have started working web designing....few months back.....and i use...plain notepad......
i am happy with it..cuz..i am learning..these stuffs.....now..if u are an expert in...html etc...i think u can go for tools!! my 2 scents!!
I use FrontPage to quickly make the initial look of it, because it opens up pretty quick, unlike DreamWeaver and PHP Designer. But it does have some unnecessary codes in it, so then I edit it with either NotePad (rarely), or PHP Designer 2005, which can edit XHTML/HTML, PHP, CSS, XML, Perl, JavaScript, Visual Basic and C stuff. It's a great program.

I agree with most pple here. I guess if you wanted to create a site really fast, (without coding it up and learning and already know the code) dreamweaver would be the way to go. I personally use to use notepad, but with php there's issues. Syntax highlighting, error checking (linenumbers), as well as formatting issues. Personally I like HTMLKit from chami. You can find it at download.com. Also notepad++ has syntax highliting if you want to edit a few lines of code for almost any langauage. Even java and c++. Both programs are free, but HTMLKit has the plugin option that allows great integration with php and mysql functions.
QUOTE(Airlub @ Feb 25 2005, 09:28 PM) What program do you use to make websites? I used to use notepad and HTML unitl I bought Frontpage and I don't know why more people use Notepad. They say it is more flexible when you can do the same thing with Frontpage AND MORE. Frontpage has a Notepad sort of window also so you can choose to do HTML code or work like how you work other MS softwares. I personally love Frontpage. I wish I could get the 2003 edition though... I personally love to use Microsoft FrontPage as well. I has a great interface, especially the 2003 edition. I dislike MS Notepad in the fact that it has too plain of a option. I use Macromedia Dreamweaver as well, but that is a little advance for me with all the CSS stuff and stuff. FrontPage is what I like to use best, so keep using it!
I use notepad and npad2 for html and for css TopStyle lite...
I've always found small programs like Frontpage to be sufficent, especially if you are not that fortified in your knowledge of HTML, Java script, Meta script, etc. There are lots of advantages to using a program that will guide you. However, you can't do quite as much, and you can't use technicalities to do something in a slightly unorthodox manner like someone more advanced can or would. However, if you have overestimated yourself and use Notepad or Wordpad, and you left out one character in an HTML tag, you are SOL my friend, until you have figured out what you did wrong on your own, which is a ver time-consuming troubleshoot. Considering what I do isn't that complicated yet, I just use Frontpage to save me a lot of headache. However, I don't see the point in purchasing a more expensive program for it to do the same task. Someone explain this fad to me, especially if you have a valid reason that I have overlooked, and you may just convert me.
