    You can lay out pages side by side in NP++ also.

    George - I haven't figure out how to do that in NP++ yet - where do I look and what do I click?

    I use Dreamweaver CS5 because I like some of the features, such as auto-code completion. I ONLY use the coding view so I code the website myself. DW's code is always messy and loaded with unnecessary HTML and CSS.

    I use Notepad++, a very good choice if your working with the html, css, and js files at the same time. Running a cross browser compatibility is also smooth with the run feature. Very good for web desginers and web developers who are writing websites. Probably bad for WYSIWYG users.

    Well, you right click on the tab, and then click "Move to other view"

    If you're doing PHP, try out NetBeans. Trust me on this one. ;)

    Thanks, George!

    I do PHP in Notepad++ and test in WAMP.

    I have very little experience with Netbeans but it looks promising for what I want to do - seems to handle javascript well also.

    I just have a limited amount of time to learn new stuff -witness my having to get George to tell me how to compare code in NP++!

    I was pretty ecstatic when I found out about the side-by-side tabs. Extremely useful. I usually put CSS on one side and HTML on the other.

    Yeah, that's good. I also use it when I am changing CSS - load the file up, start a new one and copy-paste only the stuff I want to change, then save and put it as a second CSS link in the <head>.

    Or scan for the GD mistake (usually a missing semi-colon or forgotten escape slash) I can't find in my javascript or PHP when I've made changes and broken something. :(

    Dreamweaver is one of the best option for that, you can use ever. I have 2+ year experience in web designing and i m using it.

    Using DW as an editor? That's a waste of money.

    Although I would never recommend it to a beginner because of the cost. I've been using DW since version 2.0 ( 2.0 was released about the time you were born George ).

    It does have some really good features, but for a beginner it has a really big and steep learning curve. Especially helpful tools if you're managing 40-50 sites at one time.

    Granted, I have only used it in "code view" for many years, but if someone has to design and or manage multiple sites, knows "at least the basics" or can hand code, it would definitely be worth a look.

    Yeah, I learned how to use it, but I don't have to manage multiple sites. I manage the very little amount I have via FileZilla.

    Personally I use Netbeans as an IDE, at work I use Dreamweaver because it can place correct line endings for unix in windows where some, even notepad++, will still do \r\n for instance. Causes lots irritating problems!

    Then for small changes I'll just use vim.
