I created my own editor with color coding for HTML, VB and JavaScript, and multiple open documents/search/replace functionality.

ntEditBox Control

But it is still essentially hand-coded.

Most of the time I use notepad, unless I'm really lazy or really tired. Then I fire up front page, make the changes I want to make, save, then open notepad and remove all the bloat that FP adds.

...:confused:

Yep, but I spend far too much time cleaning up pages designed by people who not only won't hand-code, they won't even use anything that's intended to be an html editor. One prolific author, for example, will *only* work in Microsoft Publisher; he also doesn't quite get the idea of links, that a webpage is not a fixed-size piece of paper, or that people don't read a website front-to-back like a book. I tried MS Publisher's html export function once, and it took much, much longer to fix the code than it takes to cut and paste his text into an editor and make up the tags as I go along.

I have to say I am rather fond of Emacs as well.

Ace HTML 6 Pro, which is basically a colored hand coding app (i.e. tags, vars, php, scripts are different colors)

I'm gonna guess no......since I just started tonight. Although I'm saving stuff in Notepad and then pasting into Nvu.

Err, so I don't rock at the web stuff :)

I use ASP Matrix or EditPlus. I like editplus a bit more, but ASP Matrix has a lot of helpful stuff for .NET coding.

I use Dreamweaver to do layouts and work on the CSS classes. I don't use the WYSIWYG component much, but the HTML editor within Dreamweaver is good enough to avoid using another text editor.

Usually import the finished product into VS .NET and convert to .aspx
