Web Gurus -- Simple HTML editor ???

If you want a nice simple text editor, try notepad++ (its a shareware program you can easily find a download) --- it does not display the HTML, but it will know how to color code the tags and things, it also knows PHP and javascript and a few other stuff. Does not run them, but fairly good simple editor. I like the way it can search through directories to find strings.

 

The mods seem tech savvy, they could probably help.

 

I've used HTML Kit, it seems to do a good job. Not a WYSIWYG type. It helps with inserting the proper HTML tags/codes. It's free, you can download it from Download.com

This might be more than what you are looking for but a i know a few people that like it.

 

Hey Danc694U, are you still around? --- I took a class at the local Community college and this is what the professor posted on text editors,

PC

• NotePad - built in to Windows
  But you must make sure you don't save the file as a .txt. Notepad automatically adds the .txt extension to the filename. A browser will not be able to read a .txt file. It expects a .html file extension. To avoid this, in the "Save as type" box at the bottom of the Save dialog box, select "All Files", and add the .html extension to the filename yourself.
• Notepad++ Free
  I have not used this, but I know many people who love it.

• TextPad: $35

  This is shareware. You can download an evaluation copy for free. You only pay if you decide to keep it. This is my favorite editor.
• Komodo Edit: Free (open source)
