I'm all textpad all the time. I think that once you start working with one editor and get used to its features/nuances, it just doesn't make any sense to switch. Especially after you develop your own library of highlighted words/phrases (so that all of the object vaiables that I use are always blue for instance)...

CDN and onpnt - For me, I'm thinking that a stick on a sandy beach makes a lot more sense... or is that a stick of dynomite.... Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

I dunno, I have a coworker that uses textpad and after watching me with editplus he's thinking about trying it out...I do have to admit textpad has some interesting pastel color schemes for highlighting _{01010100 01101001 01100101 01110010 01101110 01101111 01101011 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101}

Hey guys what's happening? I started out using UltraDev and it really helped me make database driven pages fast. I recently switched to Dreamweaver MX. I code by hand now, and really don't really use any of the MX Extensions. I do love the code coloring in MX.

<microbe keeps head down and whispers to gmagerr>

Stick with MX, but learn how to do everything it can, but by hand.

MX is a great tool, but it is vital to know what it is doing and why. Sure, as someone said, it produces cookie-cut code. But so what?

Some of the extensions are brilliant.
Using templates is a breeze.
It is very friendly in the file window - if you rename a file it will rename all references to that file in all files.
While not unique to MX, the way it highlights the relevent code when you click on something in WYSIWIG is fantastic.
Give me drag and drop for lots of db tasks anyday...it is great having almost everything you need right there on one screen.

I think this is going to be one of those long lasting threads...

Me? I can't even spell ASP!

 

[whloo]

For me, my favourite is JPadPro as it support many kind of programming. It is actually best used for Java programming but it support many other programming like ASP, C, C++, CGI, Perl file and many other format.
It is an amazing tools at least for myself and some of my new colleagues that influnced by me
They used InterDev previously and after they switched to JPadPro after i into this great software to them.
To know more, go to download one from download.com I bet you will like it

This is a tremendously helpful thread - thank to all to fthe contributors! Let me ask this question to see if it changes any of your responses: how do you debug your ASP pages? (For extra credit, I am remote editing some ASP files - I run the editor on my notebook and the ASP file stays on the server. Does this change your answer to my first question?

 

[GaryC123]

how do you debug your ASP pages?

Hmm look at it for hours going round in circles (lots of coffee), post it on Tek-Tips, if no answer look at it for hours (lots of coffee), if still can't see it then I pop down to the pub have a few pints and miraculously I realise what I've done.
Works every time.

I am trying to get away from FP (Veep suggested it!) Tired of it messing with my code. I will give Tarwn's EditPlus a try. Thank you all of the info!

FP belongs in its box!

-UD or DWMX for DB prijects (ASP,JSP,PHP,CFM...)

God knws what you can do with Regedit and Script Debugger or Visual Interdev.
I discovered lots of stuff and new objects using both.
The autocomplete feature it's a powerfull tool to learn new stuff, aslo helps for productivity.

So as palbano told Visual Interdev it's good, even better is Visual Studio .NET but this where i work. On the field Script Debugger does his job verry well.

As for debugging i use Interdev + IE(with disabled Show Friendly HTTP Errors) and on the field i just use the old and good way

Response.Write &quot;Error&quot;
Response. End

and

echo &quot;Error&quot;;
exit();

I like using Homesite for it's ability to print in colour, but I have to recommend Source Edit. (

http://www.brixoft.com/default.asp)

This editor isn't just for use with web sites, you can download modules that will import the syntax for .ini and .bat files and you can also create your own modules and enter your own syntax for other languages.

The fact that, at present, this program is FREE gives it a very good selling point.

It, like most free software, has it's moments, but is definatlly worth a look.

I use Visual Interdev for Writing ASPs and VBScript.It auto-complete feature is best to avoid spelling mistakes and write code

Notpad some times for well formed HTML Code.
and MS FrontPage for HTML most of the times.

I have used Dreamweaver as well and its good to use to HTML Specialy if one has to work with layers.

I felt like being awaken from a deep sleep.
It is a shame to say I still use Edit.COM. Yes, this text editor is still alive (check it out at c:\Windows\System32 folder of your Windows XP if you don't believe). You see, the reasons why I chose this over Notepad is its capability to block-indent, navigate to any direction (without falling leftward whenever I try going past the end of any line), and knowing where in the file am I (row & column number status display). May I know which of these text editors have these simple (but important) features I mentioned here?
