cadburys_egg Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Does anyone know of one? Some of you know i've made a website, but for it to advance any further i'm going to need something more than Notepad. :P Mainly for text placment, x&y etc. I can do most of the images and slicing on Photoshop anyway. In short, shareware dreamweaver-esque program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adthegreat- Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Editplus is excellent, it won't make you lazy like dreamweaver where you can move things in the 'non-mark-up view', it just allows you to see how a browser would display it. There is a trial version, and you can choose whether or not to buy it after that, it won't just stop working, but it will ask everytime you open it if you don't contribute. http://www.editplus.com/ I believe you can thank Merciful for this because he recommended it here first.. if i'm wrong, sue me.. :P!!

In short, shareware dreamweaver-esque program? EditPlus or NotePad++. And to advance futher, all you really need is an editor, a browser to test it in, a lot of trial and error, and patiance.

Mercifull Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Editplus is great, not sure about Notepad++ but you can preview all your changes in a seperate tab as its got its own basic browser built in. You can also get little plugins to add extra coding features to make it even easier for you too. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

cadburys_egg Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Using EditPlus and some HTML tuition now. :) Thanks everyone, EditPlus is waaay better than Notepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSoultar Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I see you already like the EditPlus. You might also want to try TextPad, completely free and very useful for html editing. It highlights all correct tags and attributes, and even allows you to preview the file in a web browser. It's also good for C++ and Java too, if you're interested in that.

Sounds pretty much the same as EditPlus. I'm not particularly interested in any other coding except HTML, i'm only just learning that. Let alone anything more demanding. :P (Incase you're wondering, the website doesn't actually have those white lines, EditPlus just makes it look like that.) And oh WOW Freewebs is such a bad host, there's always atleast one image that doesn't load for the website, but all the images are capable of loading. Feel free to check out the website anyway (you can find the link in the coding picture ;)), any HTML advice would be very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adthegreat- Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Your website looks nice, you obviously have good artistic skills (which i don't), but its not very sound technically. You have too many images, and its all done in tables. If you are committed to becoming a good web designer, you should learn CSS at the same time as HTML, and also try to code with the W3C specifications in mind. You are doing well so far, but those would be my next steps. And it is a shame about freewebs, half the time when i refresh it says that it can't find your page. #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nested tables load too slowly, and make your entire site "jump around" while loading. Using CSS will solve this, and also give you a "template" you can use for other pages that will share the same design. You are missing a doc-type declaration, which mean browsers will render your pages in quirks mode, rather that standards mode, so don't expect your site to look correct across all browsers, or across browser version upgrades. Validate your html: http://validator.w3.org/. 4.01 strict is fine, XHTML 1.0 is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, Freewebs sucks as a host. :P I was planning to use Googlepages, but you have to use their tables. I'd love to learn how to use CSS and such, but i'm really at square one. Once I can get the look of the website right - as in, get all the pages set up as i'd like them too look - I will learn to code it anew and more technically sound.

Doomster Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 http://www.htmldog.com/guides/cssadvanced/layout/ Or just google for: css page layout CSS tends to be rendered a lot faster than tables (as some browsers do not render a table until complete). http://www.digital-web.com/articles/web ... _with_css/ And so on - there is a lot of content out there on using / switching to CSS based layout.

____ Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Or you can dis-assesemble CSS-based layouts. A lot quicker and a lot easier to learn the finer details of CSS design than starting at square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Then accidentally ask me for a serial for the full version... DreamWeaver isn't even worth pirating after you have a basic understanding of HTML code. The code it's WYSIWYG side generates is horrendous and the code editor isn't anything special you can't replace with notepadd++ or editplus.
