(no subject)

You would think that I'd be spending my 'tween semester break being productive. You know: writing and stuff. But no! I'm just farting about with test renders, long sessions of Caeser 3, and hacking at a web page to see if all the links work and to figure out how it all fits together.

The source looks unusually complicated. The bloke who wrote it got to this stage and stopped. I'm on a sort-of retainer to keep it maintained. I am in need of web design software. Can anyone recommend something not Frontpage?

(Thanks,

acelightning. I already know about Notepad.)

I use editplus. It's pretty much free. It asks you to buy it but that won't stop you from using it. Mine is currently 130 days overdue for the trial period and I haven't had any problems.

Officially, we use Dreamweaver (http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/) at work (30-day trial version available). I use UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com/) for almost everything, though, and it's about a tenth the price.

Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.8a1/) has something for generating HTML code. I have no idea how good it is. Tucows (http://www.tucows.com/htmledit95_default.html) has a metric buttload of stuff I can't vouch for either.

I use Adobe GoLive.

I first used it to rebuild a giant commercial site that had been originally developed (and properly mangled) with FrontPage. The FrontPage site stopped working after being transferred from a host running a case insensitive OS (Windows NT) to a host running a case sensitive OS (Linux).

Oooh , been there, done that - nearly limitless pain on that kind of migration :(

If you must use an authoring tool, count me in as another vote for Dreamweaver

yeah, but it's a bit expensive at AU$650+

As a student you can order Dreamweaver for $164 from...

http://www.educationsoftware.com.au/

As I understand it they take your word for it that you are a student but you can be selected for a random audit. I believe you qualify (see the rules).

EXCELLENT link! Thanks.
