[SOLVED] Notepad+ question

I am at the 1st stages of learning. I have read some of the info for newbies, and I want to try playing with some HTML.

If I down load notepad+, will it replace my regular notepad? Also; can I see what my work would actually look like in a browser if published?

Thanks
Darryl

No, notepad++ doesn't replace the regular notepad.

If you store your files as *.htm or *.html then you can view them in a browser and they will look exactly like they will look "if published."

Thanks, this forum is awesome!

Another option is to download a server to run on your local computer. The most often used I believe is Apache. It allows you to do testing offline. If you need a database you can download http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

this is a triple setup Mysql, Phpadmin and apache server.
I use it mostly for the server which is 'localhost' to test my site while working on it. It really makes things much easier and lest stressful.

Hi

Note is the best tool to use when making web sites. It comes with windows.
They are lots of text editors out there. Some will help you to fixes mistakes that might happen.


If you are going to use Notepad you will need to know some Html.


All the best notagz

I believe the best tool is dreamweaver code view.

As it doesn't replace the regular notpad you can make it where it will... I have notepad++ now instad of notepad...

I have Notepad++ too. I like being able to switch between about 50 languages, it really helps.
I agree with Alex :: Dreamweaver code view, all the way! Nothing beats DW, especially not FrontPage, yuck!
