Re: Looking for Ubuntu HTML Editor

Wrong guy to ask...I carry one and both my sons are geeks...

Would I put my wife in front of Ubuntu? Yep. She knows how to run email (Thunderbird) and Open Office in Windows so she wouldn't notice much difference.

Linux has a pretty geeky rap but it is getting better and better as Windows gets more and more bloated and "User Friendly" with great leaps forward like Vista (he says with words dripping with sarcasm).

Sorry Pete

I made the assumption that everyone on this list (and every business I have
ever known) has access to a computer running Windows! Silly mistake I know?
Would you send someone to school with a Linux Laptop?

Runs on Linux!? That would be a first for Microsoft!

I think it is limited to Windows platforms from what I could read.

Actually MS Visual Web Developer Express 2008 (Free Download) also copes
with being a very good HTML editor?

Might not be the way YOU want to go but worth a try!

Subject: [WEB400] Looking for Ubuntu HTML Editor

My daughter let me install Ubuntu on her Toshiba laptop. Before she takes it with her to college next fall I'd like to assess whether to switch from Windows to Linux on my next development laptop.

I currently use Dreamweaver as my editor for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, but I've begun downloading and testing various Linux based editors in my spare time.

So far, an editor named Screem looks like the best choice. Interestingly, it doesn't have a WYSIWYG design surface, but I really like the auto-complete popups when keying tag names, attributes, and events associated with HTML and CSS elements. And closing tags are automatically inserted. Colors are helpful. And there are a lot of other features to assist those of us who haven't memorized everything that browsers do.

Are there other HTML editors I should be looking at? What about Eclipse? Or, an Eclipse plugin? I don't plan on doing any Java development. The Toshiba has only 768kb of ram. Would that be a deterant to evaluating Eclipse?
