[mark_isherwood5]

What is the best HTML program here i'm building a webpage and wanted a good program what is the best one you know and if you have it what is its sig2sat code and what supernode is it on

Dreamweaver is the quickest and easiest program to use. You drag and drop and press buttons and DreamWeaver writes the source code for you...

File: Dreamweaver 4 (full, with serial).exe
Length: 24761550 Bytes,24181KB
UUHash: =4aSmGDqY5a7By53MXrolJ2sFfg0=



EDIT: I'll only be on for alittle while, so I hope you have broadband...

That's a really bad idea. PM the stats if you want but don't post that kind of info.

The best webpage building program is any text editor (and a knowledge of HTML, etc.). There are 3 good ones:

- Notepad - because it's simple, easy to open/manage, no fancy features, just the basic essentials - Open, Save, Find and Replace.

Cons:
- No advanced features
- Bug in word wrapping
- On win9x there are no shortcut keys

- UltraEdit32 - this one's awesome - it has many advanced features, few of which are useless. It has code highlighers for HTML, CSS (i think), PHP, C++, etc. It also has easy tabbing.

Cons:
- Creates backup files by default
- If you're used to Notepad, the highlighting will be really annoying rather than helpful
- Has trouble with non-latynic charsets (so does Notepad though, unless you save it as Unicode - on WinXP)

- Dreamweaver MX (hand-coding) - this one's almost as good as UltraEdit, but it's more internet-oriented, so there are 'coding tips', code validation (i think), etc. - helpful if you're not good with HTML.

Cons:
- Same highlighting annoyance if you're used to Notepad
- Takes a sh!tload of system resources, and takes more than a few seconds to start up, especially if you have many extensions installed

So, you decide. Of course, you COULD use a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, but i personally hate those, and with them you'll never learn how to create a website...

Examples of WYSIWYGs are Dreamweaver and FrontPage.

get yourself a copy of dreamweaver mx, that what i use it great, or even dreamweaver 4 would do.

[MetroStars]

Yep Dreamweaver MX is wot u need, Dreamweaver 4 is shit for CSS...

U also need Fireworks ( or any gud graphic program ) it's not always about the coding ( well it is ) but graphics r just as important...


also go 2 the Macromedia hompage and get sum Dreamweaver extensions...

I am suprised Microsoft Frontpage was not mentioned. I take it that it is not really all that great/simplistic to use?

Frontpage is a good program as well but the thing with frontpage is it inserts junk code automatically. Messes up the layers if you are using. I prefer coding in Dreamweaver MX & Frontpage(which is sort of replacement to a notepad for me)
