"Web Design Tools?"

What are the best web-design tools, for windows?

Is TextPad the best text-editor? Are there any apps. for to-do lists and notes? I know Mac's have loads, but even so, that doesn't help me...

Heh...

Topstyle Pro (Fully customizable, full validation tools etc etc)
DreamweaverMX 04 (Only n00bs use it in WYSIWYG) (Ditto)
Zend Studio
PHP Designer 2005
Visual Inter Dev

Oops, forgot to mention HomeSite. The original text editor and probably still one of the best.

Sweet. Looks perfect!

Cheers cjh! J00 t3h r0x0r.

:D

Cheers, I'll check it out.

(I already use the HTML Validator and Web Developer kits... Looking for an app. outside firefox...)

HTML Validator (based on Tidy)?? Great extension. [URL]https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Developer%20Tools&numpg=10&id=249[/URL]
Web Developer is another extension I'd recommend [URL]https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Developer%20Tools&numpg=10&id=60[/URL]

As for Coin, you might want to try Notepad++, I find it to be a pretty good little program [URL]http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/[/URL].

Dreamweaver is good in coding view....there used to be a program called phpED. It used to be free, then got bought out - I still have the free version somewhere I think.

You can get a plug-in for Firefox that validates HTML, then gives you warnings and errors. The post is a bit further down, I'll pop it.

Bah, couldn't find it. Google it n00b!

Heh....

To clarify: looking for a program (or possibly extension?) for Notepad, to highlight code in CSS and XHTML. Same as what Firefox does for .css files and "View Source". But... Yeah.

My ****ing manager 'designs' in Dreamweaver, publishes, then charges the client.

EDIT: Ah, you actually have a clue. Sorry if that was patronising, I've removed it now.

Basically looking for a replacement for Notepad, and possibly some other's that make multi-tasking that little bit easier. Preferably, the Notepad replacement would be able to hand XHTML and CSS, unlike TextPad...
