Re: I love/hate FrontPage - need another HTML editor.

as with most other things ... homesite is king.for a variety of reasons. it's customisable.i've added a whole load of custom buttons for php.u can choose your own colour coding.find/replace ,snippets. my favourite is it allows u to do server mappings so u can browse and edit pages with one program.v.cool.it's not free but pretty cheap i imagine(it comes free with dreamweaver,which i never use). and ,of course,it doesn't do any thing it's not told to do with your code. www.allaire.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Grace <rubein@earthlink.net> To: PHP General <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 9:10 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] I love/hate FrontPage - need another HTML editor. > >"Murph" <murph@murphatnight.com> wrote in message > >news:003201c08027$e886c480$25549318@ne.mediaone.net... > > > >-- snip -- > > > >Anyone out there using an HTML editor that they'd like to recommend? > >Why?
