I prefer Dreamweaver to FrontPage, but FrontPage is obviously going to integrate better with IIS. Also, our standard tool at work is Dreamweaver. I can write damn good HTML (plus goodies) in a text editor, but my job is writing online help not HTML, so I use Dreamweaver.
In the past, I used Homesite. Maybe the TopStyle respondent was thinking of Homesite? A free copy of TopStyle once came with Homesite. TopStyle is definitely a CSS editor.
I have TopStyle open right now and have been using it for weeks. It creates HTML web pages just as easily as it creates CSS.
Well, gosh, golly gee! :smack:
I started to say text editor instead of notepad, and then forgot. I use notepad because I think its fun and because I am trying to learn HTML and CSS.
Another vote for Notepad, quite possibly the best text editor since EDIT.COM.
I tried using Frontpage and Dreamweaver once. I attempted for several minutes to figure them out, then gave up out of frustration and went back to Notepad.
… even though there are freeware text editors out there that are designed to specifically create HTML and CSS?
Real Men don’t need “syntax highlighting.” 
My experience is that Dreamweaver is less of a pain than FrontPage … I’m not terribly fond of either. FrontPage, though, I’ve always found to be a pest and a nuisance, and the added functionality from the server extensions is really not worth the hassle.
In any event, a lot of the web stuff I write is generated via back-end code - the thing I use most often for writing HTML is Visual Studio .NET. But that’s my life for you.
I’m a big fan of Textpad. Somebody recommended it in a similar thread last year and I fell in love with it almost immediately. It’s a good fit because I find WYSIWYG editors for html to be extraordinarily irritating (I’m pretty good at visualizing code).
Abso-friggin’-lutely. I just find it has a more user-friendly interface.
From what I’ve noticed, it seems that Dreamweaver is used more by Web and Graphic Designers, whereas FrontPage is used more by someone just wanting to put together a quick, simple page.
Vi - editor of champions… and lazy systems people… who only write html used by other lazy systems people 
I apologize for opening an old thread, but I forgot to respond to this. Ducster, if you read this, can you give me a link? I’m willing to try something different.
