plus about 10 other things I don't use yet.
I use it more than any other editor, because I can edit a large range of things: PSPad is a sophisticated text editor, but it does not have WYSIWYG capabilities. But for a quick and easy way to do text, images, tables and simple formatting, it is just fine. Like PageBreeze, it produces a lot of deprecated code (not surprising, given its age). In fact, it will strip out tags it doesn't recognise. The interface is similar to PageBreeze (bold, italic, dot points, etc) but to view the generated HTML code, you have to open a dialog box, which is not so convenient.īeing an old editor, it does not recognise CSS or tags. I have used Frontpage Express since it first appeared as a freebie on the Windows 98 CD.įrontpage Express is a simple WYSIWYG editor and it gives clean, tidy HTML. It happened to me several times.)Įnough - it's not my favourite editor, but it is free.
Sometimes surprising things happen, like you enter some text and go to view the HTML source and all your text disappears (I think this is because you can save any HTML as a template and it must be stripping off the content for this purpose. Why only Internet Explorer preview? Any serious developer will need to preview in Firefox, Opera, Netscape and other browsers. The CSS editor is small and inconvenient - and rather confusing. The code that is created is sometimes deprecated (like the tag in the following example):. There's even a form validation option which creates javascript validation code.Ĭonclusion: This editor is only so-so. In the "Form Builder" tab are drag and drop icons for Text box, Radio button, etc. On the left is a handy Explorer-like "Files" tab: HTML source - for seeing and editing the HTML coding behind the page (this is handy when the WYSIWYG editor does not give you what you want). There is also a small text editing area for editing the CSS stylesheet Page Properties - for changing page title and inserting Keywords and Description meta tags. There are 4 tabbed areas for editing and viewing your HTML masterpieces: It has the usual icons for bold, italic, underline, numbered lists, bullet lists and so on.
The free version of PageBreeze HTML Editor is a simple WYSIWYG editor. Before using any of these editors, check them carefully for viruses and spyware.
