Changed from absolutely positioned DIV's to floating ones ... not sure why. Added a bit of colour. Moved the content up in the source. Still have some CSS optimising to do, though.

Your thoughts, good and bad, are welcomed.

Actually, I do use Dreamweaver, but I use it in "code view" because of the "element auto-complete" feature - the less typing I do the less my hands hurt. I never use it in WYSIWYG mode.

If anyone can recommend a Notepad-type OS X app that allows you to upload the current file with a keyboard shortcut and features element/tag auto-complete for HTML and CSS then I'd ditch Dreamweaver in a second.

*Dies*

Tim... Turn away from the dark side! While it may seem powerful now, it will soon be made redundant by... XML! And whatever other stupifying wonders the w3 throws at us.

It's also made and run by the Devil, so ya know... It's not a good idea.

Ah well.

(They're always watching me... Ye know too much!)

Tada!

(Wait a sec...)



(Realises you wrote element / tag auto-complete... Cries...)

EDIT:

Why not convert to TopStyle? That's run by Satan's cousin, so ya know, not that bad. ([URL] http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/index.asp [/URL])

Also, for all you Windows XP users (come moi!) try out NoteTab, see what ya think... ([URL] http://www.notetab.com/ [/URL] Nice URI, eh?)

On a different note, here's a little list recomend by some guy I used to know... MAC OSX; SEEdit 1.6.1, CSSEdit, TextEdit.

Hope it helps.

Whats BBEdit like these days? Haven't used it since OS7

Woohoo! Totally OT but I don't care!

I've just typed up an entire 3000 word report today (it's due in tomorrow). Also today I've had one lecture, played 2 hours of badminton, and watched The Bill.

I was going to do most of it last night til I got dumped with a load of web design to do for today!!

Cheers for the recommendations Coin. Tyla: I've heard BBEdit mentioned a lot but have never got round to trying it.

I've been dedicating more of my time to sorting out my apps and tools I use in a bid to streamline my life and HTML/CSS editors are next on my list.

Ah badminton, the scourge of my childhood. Although it was a good excuse to say the word 'shuttlecock' a lot.
