Just to see, what Text Editor do you all use to code your webpages? I use TextPad, and love it.

I use notepad for most of mine.

EditPadPro and I use the XML coloring scheme because all of my HTML is really xhtml.

I have just been recommended one, it colour codes multiple languages, checks all your css against the standards and can be integrated with W3C doctype checks and bobby accessability checks.

I have tried out the free download (trial) and I am now using it the whole time for HTML/XHTML, CSS, ASP, XML etc etc.

Which one?

I use HomeSite 5 and TextPad most of the time. Emacs occasionally on the server side.

Oh yeah - I never said.

It's called TopStyle.

Does emacs let you edit via FTP or via web front end?

I tend to edit in my safe environment where I can get away with the odd infinate loop once in a while and upload it once tested! (ASP)

I presume there is an equivalent to Internet Information Services that can be used as a development environment for PHP / other languages?

I use textpad.exe not as good as what sohnee is using, if it really does do the W3C standards checking that's pretty cool!

Textpad was developed in GB and costs whatever the exchange rate is, in my case it was about $24 to register my copy.

I was very impressed with TopStyle 3, I'll probably end up paying for it soon.

Textpad is the first thing I install on any new computer.

Emacs: I only use it over SSH on the server, when i'm editing system files or web pages I'm too lazy to create a local copy of.

If you are using Notepad, you should definitely consider using Notepad++. It is essentially the same as Notepad, very lightweight and simple, but it will highlight your syntax, which makes your code very readable.

There is also an interesting new IDE being developed by JetBrains. It's aimed at web developers and has some awesome features. It's called JetBrains Web IDE and if you are looking for a fully featured code editor, it's basically the equivalent of Visual Studio, but for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP developers.
