Website Editors

Notepad (well, I use Crimson Editor, but it’s a similar thing).

If you mean WYSIWYG editors, Dreamweaver is pretty much the standard. It has problems, but it’ll do the job.
 
Depends – are you looking for WYSIWYG? Text-only? Integrated live preview? FTP capabilities? Code-hinting?

I use Notepad myself too, as it's free and I kinda enjoy writing a web page (or many, who knows :P) by hand.
Like Blake has said, if you want a WYSIWYG editor, go with Dreamweaver, because it hints with code, and it also has built in FTP capabilities.
 
Never bothered with the FTP, but I pretty much rely on Dreamweaver. I'm using version 8 now, and it's still as good as before.
 
I'm pretty new to website building is dreamweaver the right choice for me?

I'm editing stuff on google and i dont like the way it works. Is there away to get the stuff u made in Microsoft Publisher to the page im designing?
 
Google uses PHP, FTP is for download servers. And you get the website you made online by uploading it to a server via an FTP client.
 
Well i got dreamweaver, i copy and pasted the html in an area on editor on google, and it doesnt look like what i made in Dreamweaver. Is there way its only the html i use? It keeps using the layouts and the colors from google. is there a way to disable the google layouts and colors?
 
Sorry for the double post but i really your guys' help.

You don’t need to bump the thread every hour…

Can you post some screenshots of what it looks like in Dreamweaver and what it looks like online, and can you also post the HTML code?

Sorry for the bump, but I just found this again and it looks like you need some help.

It's not appearing the way it does in dreamweaver because you haven't uploaded the CSS file or images that the dreamweaver page uses. The CSS generates how the page looks, and the images are... well, images! It's kinda the difference between this (what the HTML you're copying does):

smart_car_shell.jpg


and this (what the CSS and images add):
105-smart-fortwo.jpg



Get the idea? You need to upload the CSS file and images somewhere that allows direct linking, and change the image addresses in the html and CSS. Example:

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="emx_nav_left.css" type="text/css" />
needs to be changed to
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.whereyouuploadedit.com/emx_nav_left.css" type="text/css" />
in the html file.

In the css, it'll be something along the lines of this:

Code:
url(imagename.jpg)
being changed to
Code:
url(http://www.whereyouuploadedit.com/imagename.jpg
