Yeah i use notepad and now i use Zogger's brother's awesome program. It saves me hours of time finding the right line. Which I had problems with in notepad. And it also has so much more.

I used notepad for PHP when I was new to it. Now I use PHPEdit. It's SO much easier, mostly because of the colour coding. That helps very much.

i always used notepad for HTML writing, anyone no any good html programs out their? u guys seem like it saved a lo t of time

Any HTML editor with colour coding. Like FrontPage.

I use an incredably old Windows 98 program called Webber32 (the company went under :/). I basically use it like notepad. The only help that it really gives me is that it highlights my tags in blue, and I can make my own coding shortcut keys (Most used: Ctrl+5 for table rows with 10 columns O_o). It can do other stuff, but I prefer to make my own code thank you very much. And then I run it through an online validator (since the program runs on HTML 3.2 specs).

go get urself php edit, it has lots of dandy html functions too - dont think it has a built in validator, but only a few progs i've worked with do. It has a kayboard templates function which is similar to the coding shortcuts you mentioned, eg
if i type "if" and press space, it enteres:
"if ([clipboard content]]) {

} else {

}"

fully customisable and a whole host of other features including tag hint (type http://www.phpedit.net compeltely free for non-commerical use.

I have turned those autocomplete functions off, like when you type '(' it automatically prints out a ')' too. It's annoying.

some are good, some arent unless you get used to them, but it's fully customisable so you can do what oyu like with it.

I don't know much about it although in IT at school were learing how to make a basic website, compared to almost all here on btp i'm a total n**b on HTML ect.

i bet they taught you how to use tables to layout your page then?

Very few people seem to be teaching modern techniques in schools and things. Pity really, since XHTML is now 5 years old...

They havn't even tought us that yet, we just got to making hyperlinks and tiny codes to work them. Lmao

haha, thas what we have just finished doing fuzz, my stoopid teacher told me off tho for adding a marquee and a couple of hover buttons, just because we hadnt coverd them yet in lessons, i had to take them out

i doubt she can even add a marquee or hover button

heck, maybe i should take the class instead of her!

and you would want to add a marquee or hover button into a site because.....

Yeah, marquees look pretty tacky imo anyways. But the stuff you sound like ur doing in the class, i learned in about 5 seconds. Mind you skools usually do start off pretty basic.

They've started teaching us HTML in our school now. Only trouble is I know it all so I get to be a class helper XD
