Windows Notepad
EditPad Classic Microsoft FrontPage 2000 (click HTML tab) Microsoft Word 6 or earlier WordPerfect, MS Works, or Claris Works (pre- 1997 versions all okay) Macintosh SimpleText S.H.E., Simple HTML Editor (Mac shareware editor) HTMLed, Hot Dog, or HTML Assistant HTML-Kit Macromedia Dreamweaver (Overall, Dreamweaver is excellent. Code is usually compatible with all browsers. It, however, can be a bit of a sloppy coder at times. It will occationally overlap tags, i.e.; <b><i>blah blah</b></i>. Mostly great though!) |
Windows Wordpad (will not save text documents properly)
Microsoft FrontPage 98 (will wreck your HTML) Microsoft Word 95, 97, or 2000 (hides HTML code, rewrites it) WordPerfect 8/9 or Claris Home Page (won't let you write HTML without a fight) HotMeTaL or InContext Spider (shareware editors that hide code) Netscape Composer/Navigator Gold (replaces your code with a mess) Adobe PageMill (many bugs, hides HTML code) Symantec Visual Page (hides code, won't let your edit it) AOL Press/NaviPress (hides HTML from you completely) NetObjects Fusion (mangles any HTML you write yourself) |
