Easy question: what do web developers use to create webpages with? Dreamweaver? I've used the one that comes with the Netscape browser, though that seems a little slow. Is there something cheaper and not so fancy? I'm talking about just what Mac programmers either (though I realize that when talking about a *web* developer, the OS is not an issue except regarding what platform runs on.)

I have used both NetObjectsFusion and Dreamweaver. Although both make certain tasks, like building JavaScript navigation bars, somewhat quicker and easier, they are best used as ways to teach you to ultimately give up the WYSIWYG editors in favor of hand-coding. Learn the w3c standards and write your pages with XHTML/CSS, then branch out to a scripting language like PHP paired with a backend like MySQL. You can then leave NOF and DW behind for good.

I'd like to have a pared down one like how Homesite/ColdFusion Studio was. Just give me code completion, code snippets, find/replace with regex, and the site upload sidebar. Column editing like SubEthaEdit would be cool too.

Uncut, raw hand-coded HTML, done up in TextWrangler with BBTidy. I used SubEthaEdit before that (before it went shareware), and Pepper before that (the first editor of its kind to be ported to OSX). I still miss some of Pepper's features, but I gave up hope on its being updated long ago; someone purchased the source but they haven't done anything with it since then.

TextWrangler. I haven't used a visual editor in about 5 years. I find it faster and more accurate to do by hand.

ya, bbedit or textwrangler.

pepper was nice.

skedit is nice but too slow on big files.

whatever you do, don't use dreamONweaver, frontRage or goEvil. your code will become difficult to read, maintain, search, or pass validation. go with XHTML 1.1 strict and put all your styles in a separate style sheet. make accessiblity a priority. do not burden the web with image rollovers, flash, or java. flash is okay for a movie since it is more cross platform than anything else. some good javascript is ok. as was mentioned PHP is a good language to use for server side scripting. its not okay to use tables for layout any longer - use divs and learn about css. hmm, there is probably more i am forgetting. so much to know these days.

I was reading something a while back that said something about how some browsers (i.e. IE) have difficulty with some of the more advanced XHTML, and developers have ended up using a sort of bastardized HTML 4/XHTML hybrid.

If you look at many commercial sites, including Apple, they are still HTML 4. I don't think we're quite ready yet to switch over to XHTML, although admittedly, I haven't researched this extensively. I'm probably most reticent to learn something new because I've become so good at using embedded tables.

I've just designed my first site, and while those of you who are fluent in XHTML probably make your site do exactly what you want, straight away, I've created mine using Fireworks and Dreamweaver.

Put together a site design graphically in Fireworks, and then chopped it up and took it into Dreamweaver to add the content.

It's probably not the quickest way to make a site, or the cleanest. It's also not going to be a very dialup friendly site, but from my point of view...

It works.
It looks good!

I don't know if you are aware, but there is a big unintended gap that appears within Safari. I could post a screenshot if you can't reproduce this because you aren't running the latest Safari.

This is exactly the problem with editors like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, GoLive, etc... they produce horrible code. Sometimes the sites "work", but it makes life difficult for everybody when sites are built out of sloppy code. Moreover, search engines like Google will assign a higher page ranking to pages that are coded cleanly. If you are concerned with how the site does in Google, I also recommend looking at the pages through a text-only browser such as Links (you can install this automatically through DarwinPorts).

At some point, I'd suggest going in there and cleaning up the code. Perhaps you can use what Dreamweaver/Fireworks created as a starting point.

The line possibly causing the problem is this one:

Code:
<td height="50%" background="images/mainback.png"><table width="740" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
It generally isn't wise to mix absolute sizes with relative ones (or vice versa).

IE has bugs. It has html bugs, it has xhtml bugs, it has css bugs.

That said, it doesn't mean that a developer cannot use xhtml. I use xhtml almost exclusively, and I can make it work with IE.

Honestly, there's not a whole lot of difference between the two, but the xhtml doctype, IMVHO, makes IE behave less terribly.

Agreed. Of course, there's not much sense in adhering to the strictures of valid XHTML unless you are also willing to insert the DOCTYPE declaration, is there?

You have it exactly backwards! the XHTML doctype is what alters the browser's behavior, not the mark up.

You can slap the xhtml strict doctype on html table soup if you want to. Because you have the xhtml strict doctype, IE will render the page in strict mode and behave more predictably. Valid xhtml and w3 validation isn't really necessary because the document is served as text. I know for a fact that a great many pages are written in xhtml but don't validate because there's a link with an ampersand on the page.

Validation is cute, validation is a good practice, but put simply, validation is a geek's endeavor and there are currently very little if any real world problems with publishing pages with the wrong doctype. (Don't get me wrong, my pages validate, I'm just saying)

But if you want to serve your pages as xml, then things change.

Hmmmm. That sounds suspiciously like the DOCTYPE declaration affecting how the browser behaves. I could be wrong, but perhaps you're contradicting yourself.

Thanks for the info above everyone, and the tools that you use.

I've just completely re-written my site using sKEdit and CSSEdit so that it uses the div tag instead of tables.

Anyone see any problems with it let me know.

I don't understand what you mean; as far as I can tell, my comments were very direct. There was no "beating around the bush." And by trying to change the subject to this irrelevancy, it seems to me that in fact it is *you* who are beating around the bush.

Come to think of it, do you even know what "beating around the bush" means? For your information, it means prevaricating, dancing around a subject. I haven't done that.

I thought that while XHTML would accept HTML tags, it was designed to use XML? What is the point of using XHTML if you are just going to use HTML tags?

That's an excellent question. The best answer I can provide is that while XHTML is definitely designed to be XML-compliant HTML (or, if you like, HTML-compliant XML); however, it works well even when you don't care about it as XML because it is a more disciplined approach to code that yields better results in the long run. XHTML deprecates a lot of tags that are no longer needed or which are peculiar to Internet Explorer. I think this is healthy.

To me, there is a benefit to requiring that all tags be closed, even ones that are neither opening nor closing. I like having all my tags lowercase (except for the DOCTYPE declaration, which isn't really a "tag" per se anyway) because it's neater and less arbitrary. XHTML also seems to fit well with the design philosophy articulated by Jeffrey Zeldman and others that encourages developers to separate content from presentation to the greatest extent possible, by leaving the presentational elements to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

That said, I definitely feel that writing valid code is much more important than whether you choose HTML 4.01 Transitional or XHTML 1.1 Strict or whatever. If you write valid, well-structured code, you will help make the World Wide Web a better place.

Vertical scroll when viewed with 1024 X 728 res.

A minor quibble indeed, but something I'd personally try and eliminate myself (since I develop websites primarily using that res). Could cut down the size of the blue keyboard or something.

Don't bicker about bickering. No one wants to read that either. Just ignore it, it's a better practice.

Using the XHTML Strict DOCTYPE causes Internet Explorer to go into "strict mode" and behave better and render the page more accurately. That's what the point is.

It does indeed defy the point of using XHTML, but the point of using XHTML is moot because the server sends it as text and not as xml.

Here's one way to think of it.

HTML (versions 1 through 4) is a basic mark-up language. It was originally supposed to let the browser choose how to render elements, but ended up mixing all kinds of presentation tags anyway, like <font> and <blink>, as well as tag attributes like bgcolor and so on.

XHTML gets back to separating page structure from visual style. XHTML is a subset of XML, but it's usually restricted to a set of tags that correspond to the old HTML tags. The doctype defines exactly which tags are allowed and how they can be nested. So XHTML ends up looking a whole lot like HTML, and it can fool an older browser into thinking it's HTML, but it's really a whole new animal. It's more strict and more flexible, and all formatting should go into the style sheet (CSS) file.

No. deprecation is based upon semantic meaning, not "need" and not what is peculiar in IE.

How does valid, well structured code whether it be written in HTML or XHTML make the WWW a better place?
