For small pages and QAD HTML I like to use notepad. Reading some of these posts I have downloaded notepad++ and so far have been enjoying it. When needing to work with a complex page incorporating flash elements and scripting I like to use dreamweaver.
sorry but none of you are right macromedia dreamweaver is much better it has lots of support and it can debug and view/ preview php while other editors can't.
Ok, a few years ago, I started making websites with dreamweaver. I was a noob, so I thought it was great. About a year ago, I started actually typing out all my code, but I still do it in dreamweaver because it has small features like color-coded code, alerts you for code errors, and when you start typing a style or tag, it brings up what would properly fit there. I'd like to find a program that has may of this smaller, helpful features, but is less bulky than DW. Sort of like Notepad on steroids. Haha. Any thing you know of that is even those to what I'm trying to describe would help, or if you know some html editors that you personally like, post them up.
There was an entire thread on here about text editors. I couldn't find it last time I tried. Maybe some one else has access to it, & can post a link...
For the record, I use the crimson editor. Their main site has been taken down, but it is available at download.com. It color codes over 100 languages.

TextPad is an excellent tool. minimalistic interface (well maybe not) and nice syntax highlighting.
i used to use notepad but then i got pissed cause i got something like "Error on line 110" and i would have to count each line till i got to line 110. textpad specifies line numbers, which is a life saver for me cause i always get errors on some random line and would have to count all the way down to it
