    Editing software

    Hi all,

    Without opening a HUGE can of worms, I just wanted to get some ideas
    of what others are using professionally to create websites
    commercially. For years I had used Homesite and never migrated to
    Dreamweaver or ColdFusion. My limited abilities notwithstanding , I
    have moved to FrontPage 2000 (forget validation) and now to MS
    Publisher. Am I essentially bringing a knife to a gun fight here?

    I have a very limited budget and want to be able to create dynamic
    websites for potential clients. What is the best balance between cost
    and effectiveness with ease of use as a prime consideration?

    Chuck

    More like you brought a pencil to an atomic war! Here's the common list
    of Worst Editors:
    5. Microsoft FrontPlague
    4. Microsoft Word
    3. Microsoft Excel
    2. Microsoft Powerpoint
    1. Microsoft Publisher

    Some say DreamWeaver in the hands of an expert is pretty good. I've
    never used it, I code by hand, but make templates first, so everything
    after that is a snap. When in Windows, I use CrimsonEditor.

      I use an editor. Just a text editor, no wizzywig, not drag-and-drool,
      no gimmicks at all. I didn't have to spend money either.

      Try jEdit, Eclipse, TextPad and many others.

      Other stuff I can't live without:
      Firefox., the embedded Tidy extension, Colorzilla extension, the W3C
      validator, XSLT, Python, Subversion, Bugzilla, Cygwin, PuTTY.
      Dreamweaver or ColdFusion. My limited abilities notwithstanding , I
      have moved to FrontPage 2000 (forget validation) and now to MS
      Publisher.
      You seem to have gone from the poor and headed straight downwards. What
      were you planning to upgrade to next? COBOL?

        I use Wordpad to hand-code my HTML and CSS. I develop my pages in a
        mirror on my PC, which replicates the same file structure as I have on
        my ISP's Web server. This allows me to review and test my pages before
        uploading them to the server.

        This does not work with SSI scripts. For those, my ISP allows me to use
        a secure Telnet session into my account on their Web server. I use vi
        to hand-code UNIX Korn-shell scripts and test them via the Telnet session.

        Of course, no everyone knows how to hand-code HTML and CSS. I've looked
        at Nvu at <http://www.nvu.com/>. It seems to generate HTML that passes
        W3C validation. I don't particularly like the way Nvu formats the
        source HTML (the visual appearance) and the fact that it always inserts
        closing tags that are optional (e.g., </pat the end of a paragraph
        that is immediately followed by another paragraph). However, if you
        want a tool to generate Web pages that are suitable for all browsers,
        you might consider Nvu, which is freeware.

        A list of freeware tools is at
        <http://www.anybrowser. org/campaign/abtools.html>; this includes a
        discussion of the tools. There is also W3C's Amaya at

          Re: Editing software

          Chuck,

          Personaly I use Dreamweaver 8. But 80% of the time I`m writing directly
          in the code page.
          I started webdesign something like a year ago. In the mean time IĀ“'m a
          strong believer of code knowledge. There is no better way than writing
          code.
          But saying this, it takes a incredible amount of time to study HTML and
          CSS.
          You mention the word "dynamic" site...meaning you will have to spend
          expensive time in learning PHP and MySQL.

          It's not finished...How can you make an attractive site without
          Photoshop?

          For me the most difficult thing is...making choices. Should I go for
          HTML/CSS, PHP, Flash,....

          Some comments regarding the site:

          -I would work on the the content font.
          -The banner doesn't look professional to me
          -The color of the right column (black° may be different.

          Best regards

            Answering for myself, I use:
            1. A text editor (vim on *nix, notepad or wordpad under windows)
            2. Multiple browsers to display my pages
            3. An HTML and CSS reference document
            4. The PHP documentation on php.net

            Probably not. Because the web sites I create are dynamic for each
            visitor, I have given up on normal web authoring tools and now
            hand-code everything, using php, HTML, and the php smarty template
            manager. Web authoring tools are fine for static pages, but not
            useful (to me) otherwise.

            What could be easier than a text editor?

              Dynamic creation of web content is not that easy, you need to know a
              server side language and some sort of DataBase system. Or you could use
              a CMS, check out Mambo or Jeumla.
              You should not use any Microsoft product to create websites, they
              create horible invalid code, use open source technology such as NVU
              http://www.nvu.com and a good text editor such as HTML-Kit.

                Dear sir,
                I must say that your choice of software for web design, IMHO, is most
                painful. FrontPage, no matter what version, will add on unnecessary
                tags to your source in very annoying ways, and all Office products that
                one uses for web design always decide to simplify things way too much,
                so you can't do much with them (I absolutely abhor MS Word sites).
                >From this, I just believe you made yourself a piece of cotton where
                there are warriors against you with some torches (Essentially, I think
                you just screwed yourself).
                On terms of using different software, I can recommend a single WYSIWYG
                editor, and a few text editors. DreamWeaver MX is a very good WYSIWYG
                editor, and it can also be used as a text editor (although I didn't
                count it as one also). The four text editors for multiple web
                languages (and other programming languages) are jGRASP, PHP Editor,
                Notepad, and SciTE. jGRASP was primarily designed for designing Java
                Classes and Applets, but it can be used to make C, C++, ADA, Objective
                C, and Plain Text documents (Plain Text is basically what you want, and
                you will want to save it as HTML, or PHP, or whatever you need). PHP
                Editor is a multifunctional editor that lets you make PHP, HTML, CSS,
                VBScript, Java, JavaScript, Python, C++, XML, Objective Pascal, Perl,
                SQL, and Arquivo INI files, of which all are source. SciTE is a
                program that lets you make Text, ADA, Assembler, Batch, C/C++, C#, CSS,
                FORTRAN, HTML, Java, JavaScript, TeX, LISP, LuA, MATLAB, MAKEFILE,
                Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Shell, SQL, TCL, VB, VBScript, XML,
                and YAML files, all source, and it allows you to install compilers for
                most of those languages (The ones that require compilation to make
                object code, unlike PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, VBScript, XML, and
                Perl). I entered Notepad into the list, because Notepad is the most
                basic of the editors, and is readily available, so if you really are
                desperate, you can always revert to using your knowledge of the
                language and just typing it up into Notepad. That is normally a last
                resort, but I have been using it for a while even though I have
                DreamWeaver MX.

                I hope that this helps you,

                I have the honor to remain your most humble and Ob't Sv't in our war
                against the King.

                  It's kind of like going from Adobe InDesign to Microsoft Word to

                    Re: Editing software

                    Thanks to all who responded and to those who refrained. <g>

                    You have provided much food for thought. Frankly, I was hoping there
                    would be a common thread detected in multiple responses. The only
                    commonality seemed to be "code it by hand." Been there, done that,
                    washed my car with the tee shirt. I'm not really lazy, just don't want
                    to spend umpteen hours hand coding. I was hoping there would be a
                    reasonable alternative, everyone seems to agree that MS stuff sucks. I
                    think I knew that but was in denial. Although several of you, or at
                    least two, said FP 2003 wasn't half bad.

                    I mis-spoke when I said "dynamic," I meant that in the classical
                    sense, as in killer, exceptional, above average. My potential clients
                    have no web presence, some don't even have dial-up much less DSL,
                    etc... I live in the boonies and am trying to drag local businesses
                    into the 21st century. Admittedly I have been doing it with 20th
                    century tools, but I digress. What I am really after is a "one size
                    fits all" tool that will let me create "good" sites, that will
                    actually validate without recoding a zillions lines of code. I can add
                    whistles and bells after the fact. Some want music (yech), some want
                    basic java applets (clock & calendar), some want little dancing
                    graphics (go figure), and some just want a static web "brochure."

                    One of you, and I apologize for not remembering who, said my banner
                    sucked, well actually he said it didn't look professional, but suck is
                    what I heard. So, what do you (all) recommend for professional banner,
                    logo, graphics, etc...creation? And finally, were you all in concert
                    about the black banner? Loose it?

                          "-I would work on the the content font."
                          Can you elaborate, please?

                          I thought the banner looked pretty cool, but then I like velvet Elvi

                            Well, "four miles" might be a bit of an exaggeration. But it is a
                            fixed-width design that forces horizontal scrolling in my default
                            (non-maximized) browser windows. BTS probably encountered the same thing.

                              What do you meant by " Why do I have a horizontal scrollbar that goes
                              to the east about four miles? " I don't get it.
                              I'm viewing in Firefox 1.5.0.7. See screen shot. It's a full image,
                              about 170KB. Note how small the grabber is... scrolling right takes me
                              into a large black area about a third of the way to the right with some
                              more content in it, but it continues to scroll. If I also scroll
                              downward, I see some borders that extend to the final end, way over
                              there ----------------->



                              Some of the content over there ---- is:

                              This can be seen here. Note the position of the horiz scroll bar:


                              It also looks amateurish with center-justified content.
