I have used JEdit for a long time. It is a Java-based editor with good platform customization and a lot of useful plugins (you can extend it with either Java or scripts of various types). It works on any machine (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc), so it made it easy to switch back and forth. The HTML, XML, CSS, etc., plugins do syntax highlighting, it has a preview option, completion, and so forth. It also has plugins for just about any other language so it is a one-size-fits-all editor.

The editor I use most of the time is AquaEmacs, which is a Mac-specific version of GNU emacs. GNU emacs also runs on every platform. Emacs, like JEdit, has a number of "modes" for editing different types of files. It is very powerful, but not necessarily for the faint of heart. There are a number of books about using emacs both fro beginners and emacs. It is one of the oldest and most improved editors in existence.

hi to all
zend studio is a best wysiwyg for php ana java and html and java script and ...
it is avalable in www.zend.com

I also use zend for php.

But for HTML I used ACE HTML. It is an editor - not a WYSIWYG program. I agree with the earlier comment about the code that an editor like front page creates. For starters, the page ends up being very heavy with unncessary code. As for HTML being "visual" (another previous post), we create our sites first in photoshop and then break them up.

I have dreamweaver but rarely use it because it has in the past messed up some of my code. But it is an easy way to work with tables.

(Back in the day) I learned HTML with a basic editor called Ken Nesbit's web edit. It was not much more than notepad.

Notepad is good if you're a beginner, a diehard pro, or need to work out specific code without the distraction of extra stuff.

MS Frontpage is "meh". I don't like it much. It's like white bread in a world of cinnamon bagels.

I like the one that OpenOffice has. I think it is called NVU. Not bad for free, but as you know, it adds its own little touches to the code. Sometimes it'll throw you off guard as well.
