One comes with every version of windows on the market. It's called Notepad. But that means you have to do it the HARD way, or the easy depending on your point of view. It DOES mean you do have to learn to write code and not depend on the computer to do it for you. And you CAN make mistakes. The beauty of writing your own code is that once it is up, it is YOURS, not someone elses creation. So here goes the list of what I know is out there so far and I know others will add to the list: Free editors: NVU Alleycode WebTide Free Text Editor CoffeeCup - HTML Editor WebDwarf FreeSerifSoftware HTML-Kit MAX's HTML Beauty++ 2004 Homepage of Crimson Editor EditPad lite Metapad Araneae First Page 2006 Of those, I use Notepad, which is build into the computer, 1st Page 2000 (Hardcore version), MPSOFTWARE (PHP Designer 2005). I know there are others here on the forum who write their own code, what do you use? Paid Editors: Namo WebEditor6 Microsoft FrontPage Dreamweaver MX 2004 Adobe GoLive UltraEdit MPSOFTWARE - Designed for you I've been collecting for some time now. Liz There is another text editor that is, according to it's users, better than notepad. Metapad I just came across another one: Araneae in my wanderings around Nonags. I was actually looking at something to add to here in the way of a photo album. A modification if you will...one that is free not paid. And found this: Web Album Generator which may or may not work.

This one has been discontinued. It has been incorporated into the PHP DESIGNER 2006 as one entire suite. Liz
I love Alleycode for coding. You can hand code completely, but it also has little buttons to help produce tables, add tags etc. Sometimes they are handy for speed, or help me remember how a piece of code goes. It also add colour to the codes, which makes it easier to see the various parts. NVU has a handy section for tidying up messy code, but other than that I haven't been able to settle with it. I may be using it wrong, but it seemed to be making alot more code than was needed.
