RE: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor
Hi Damien, I've been evaluating PrimalScript 3.1 and it looks like a winner.Sam Neff has mentioned it numerous times so I figured I'd check it out.It does all of what you are asking, and more.Also, the download is under 4MB, and it uses a little over 10MB on disk.I just slapped a bunch of help files in a separate directory (including CFMX ones from DWMX) and pointed PrimalScript at them; very easy.This gives you context help via the F1 key when you are within a CFMX tag or function.Also, PrimalSense is already configured to give you the CFMX tag-insight popups you've come to know and love.The only thing it lacks for me is CSS support, but I use TopStyle 3.1 for that and I love it. There are plenty of ways you can customize this tool.One I particularly like is being able to have one of your open documents be an actual web page, so you can keep a reference link on your toolbar handy to specific web references and whatnot.Another thing I like is you can have the icon associated with each file type you open display next to the tabbed filename, so it's easy to tell at a glance what file types are without looking at the extension. I like DWMX a lot more than I used to, but it's still a little quirky for me.One of the things Jim Davis pointed out is the file browser -- yech!I always mis-read what level I am on.Also, I've found that DWMX always freezes up for a minute every now and then when I work with a mapped drive off my local server.I know this to be the exact cause because I can work locally for hours on end and that never happens (this is with the 7.0.1 updater). One thing I WILL say about DWMX is that it encompasses all of these features and more, and I really like the built-in CSS support, but I still find myself gravitating away from it time and again.

Re: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor
sorry. I did not clarify my response earlier. I'm using Studio 5 not the Studio MX suite they have which includes Dreamweaver. I think it's not longer in production. I like it because u could connect to datasources with it and has a cleaner interface. I'm not a designer and that's why I like Studio 5. there use to be a free one called 1stPage but that was years ago which had the same homesite/studio look to it.

Re: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor
OK, regarding Homesite, I've used it before but always found it a bit bloated for what it gave you, and was a dead-end product. HTML-Kit is very close to what I'm looking for, but its workspace system seems confused (why can't you set a local directory to map to an FTP site?).Very close though.There isn't much in the way of up-to-date CFMX plugins/addons, but that could be remedied. AceHTML, 1st Page, etc, the vast majority of web editors are trimmed-down versions of Dreamweaver, i.e. focused on the WYSIWYG aspects, which I don't care about.Also, many of them don't support CFML. Ones I'm going to investigate: - Sausage Software's HotDog. - Homesite 5.5, might aswell give it another spin seeing as I already have it. Personally I wish that the EditPlus author would add some sort of scripting support to his editor, then I'd probably be able to do lots of fun stuff with it... all for $30. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 Nothing endures but change. - Heraclitus [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor
I can't see where Dreamweaver wont do everything you want.Just change to code view and you're home and hosed. If that's still not what you want, try UltraEdit.It has most of what you want. It's lightweight, fast,can handle files sizes as big as your hard drive, has syntax highlighting, an FTP inbuilt,can search and replace over entire directories or disks ifyou want.It's notepad on steroids, or Dreamweaver without the extras.If you want an all-purpose editor for a machine without a lot of RAM, UltraEdit's the way to go.(http://www.ultraedit.com) Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com .com,.net,.org domains from AUD$20/Year - Original Message - From: Damien McKenna [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2004 15:07:33 -0400 Subject: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm looking for a HTML/CFML editor for Windows with the following requirements: [snip] [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Well then, in that case he can use the money he would have spent on DreamWeaver and upgrade his memory so that he can run Dreamweaver! Wait.
