CoffeeCup HTML Editor

[Dark Dragon]

Is this program any good? Will it be able to help one to get HTML Compliant tags and so forth?

if so then I might download the Trial Version then...maybe.

[PeOfEo]

Its a fairly decent html editor, go ahead and download it.

[Dark Dragon]

Really?

Cool Beans!..I think I will then..Thanks PeOfEo! :D

[DaveSW]

the free one? I thought that was ... ahem. :eek:

I suppose if you like WYSIWYG it might be ok... :mad:

[PeOfEo]

Lol I prefer dreamweaver to coffee cup any day but the price is right for the coffee cup trial.

[DaveSW]

lol true. I couldn't do anything with it when I downloaded it! I wanted to see the code! lol

[Dark Dragon]

Hmm..I see.

Well then, I suppose I will rethink this CoffeeCup Editor.

[DaveSW]

If you want standards compliant code why not write it yourself with html-kit from www.chami.com - it's free after all! (you knew this was coming didn't you!!)

[Dark Dragon]

Okay..I will look into it then.

About writing it myself..I do not want to be a hand coder...it is not my area, of course not much is. :D

I thought DW would code in compliant code bit I guess not..anyways thanks...I am gonna check it out!

[DaveSW]

Nothing wrong with being a hand coder! And using html kit it's no more time consuming than wysiwyg. :D

[Dark Dragon]

Nothing wrong with being a hand coder!

Never said there was..I just do not want to memorize all those codes, tags and so forth. I know you like hand coding but not everyone does.

All I want is a program that is up to date....DW4 is apparently not up to date.

[DaveSW]

I don't memorize all those codes... I get them off the drop down menus in html-kit... There's one plain tags list, and there's a tags wizard as well. neat.

[Dark Dragon]

Heh..I just downloaded HTML Kit..so now I need to download some extra plugins too....so far seems nice.

Thanks for telling me about it!

[DaveSW]

yeah the plugins are wicked. the two I use the most are

flash http://www.chami.com/html-kit/plugins/info/hkinsswf/

random content http://www.chami.com/html-kit/plugins/info/cmrandomcontent/


I coverted from a wysiwyg editor to html kit ages ago. Downloaded it and though at first I couldn't get the hang of it, it suddenly clicked one day.

Good luck

[Dark Dragon]

Yeah..that is the one thing that bugs me is that there is no visual reference as to what is happening..so I have to keep previewing it in a browser...but so far it is nice..I can always copy and paste the code into DW if I need to.

So far it is nice.

[PeOfEo]

Um... How can you not memorize most of the commands you would probably use. I mean I dont use the marquee command much but I have still used it before and it is not engraved into my skull. I can see having a css reference sheet but the html stuff I dont see how you could not memorize it from just seeing it so much.

[DaveSW]

I'm not so much referring to the tags themselves as the oblique attributes some of them have - e.g. frameborder instead of border. Stuff like that.

[PeOfEo]

Oh, yea sometimes I have been known to put border instead of frame border in an iframe tag, the validater seems to go nuts when I do that.
