use coffee cup html editor
it is so easy to learn and work but limited in some ground

i would reccommend you use ether dreamwaever or ms frontpage 2003(some previous frontpage versions dont have highlighting thing available)

For text editor (with syntax highlighting, of course) I'd recommend UltraEdit 32bit. Works for other programming languages as well. For WYSIWYG, Dreamweaver is the best choice, though pretty expensive one...

Back in my PC days, I used 1st page 2000 by Evrsoft. My understanding is that they've released a newer and better version in the past year.

On Mac, I use NVU. It's not perfect, but does the job. And then if I need to code I use BBedit. But NVU is pretty user friendly and is free...

I started out with a WYSIWYG editor but when i looked at the source code i didn't understand it very well so i learned the html stuff and then returned to WYSIWYG editors and found it helpful to learn html before going to wysiwyg.

Yes. Very true. I've used MS Frontpage, and the results are... ehh, okay.
It's not worth the money, that's for sure. NVU is around the same quality for much less. Actually, for nothing.
I'm sure if you want the best possible quality, one of those expensive ones like Dreamweaver is great. However, for my site I just use NVU (or MS Frontpage on computers at school). Great program.

I hate WYSIWYG editors, too. One look at the source code makes me cringe.

I use NotepadEx. It uses tabs, which helps me organise my pages better than Notepad, but that's about it's best feature. I like it anyway.

I couldn't even get used to syntax highlighting at first. Now I kinda like it (helps me remember to close list tags, and paragraph tags - occasionally I still forget), but still don't use an editor that has it.

So you say you hate WYSIWYG editors? What's so bad about designing in WYSISWYG editors? Designers should be using WYSIWYG because it's a lot to do with the visual display of the site. If you were to design one with just coding, you got to be really good to make a very professional webpage.

If you are using linux you could use bluefish. It is really excellent program for editing html and especially css. It is also very good for php. Too bad there is no version for windows.

But you could use some of the live linux distributions, so you don't have to change your existing software, only bad thing is that you can't write to ntfs partitions. I recommend you Austrumi. It is very small, about 50 MB, but it has many nice programs like Firefox, Gimp, Inkscape, some office tools, etc.

I use Notepad, and NoteTab (nice editor, just google it, I forget the site name).

I also have Dreamweaver, it's nice, it helps you update quickly, but I personally like to type out the code. And like someone else said, the code is a NIGHTMARE. It's so busy and unorganized, you can hardly find anything, let alone change anything. I've never tried starting a page from scratch and typing it in the 'Coder' view of Dreamweaver. I'm sure it wouldn't be as bad, because it'd be like another editor, but like I said, I've never tired it.
