Favorite WYSIWYG

[chili5]

I don't like to use WYSIWYG editors but I'm required to know how to use dreamweaver so thats probably my favorite.

I assume you're required to know how as part of your job.

Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition is a free, yet comprehensive editor.

Nope, I'm in a class where we make web sites and we use dream weaver.

Dream weaver is good cause it supports a lot of web languages but I prefer to use a text editor with syntax highlighting.

Visual developer is OK, not quite as good as Dream weaver but it does support ASP.NET so it is good if your into ASP.NET.

There's one main reason I use VWD instead of Dreamweaver:

PHP Code:

$dreamweaver = £400;
$webdeveloper = £0;

if ($webdeveloper < $dreamweaver)
{
 echo "I'm gonna use VWD.";
}
else
{
 echo "I'm gonna use Dreamweaver.";
}

True that Visual Web Developer is free but if your into PHP, it's almost useless to you. If you get dreamweaver it allows you to use ASP, JSP and PHP.

I have VWD and Dreamweaver but I prefer Dream Weaver because you can do more with it.

Yes, I'm into PHP. It still works with it, though.

Oh cool, I didn't know it worked with VWD.

So if you can't afford Dream Weaver get VWD.

Before I got dream weaver, I used front page because it came with Windows 98 which I have two licenses for. LOL

Actually, VWD doesn't work with PHP. What I do is save them as .html files, then open them up. VWD can handle HTML files, so it shows it with syntax highlighting, design view etc. Then I rename it to .php ... and it remains open!

[chili5]

But you can edit PHP files with it using that trick, of renaming it.

so i guess VWD is really good but it can't test PHP files in the program though.
