HTML Codes

[PuppyforChrist]

Do any of you know of any HTML programs that are equiped with codes and stuff on them? I'm not looking for tutorials or anything of that sort. Just programs equiped with HTML codes on them. Anyone know of such a program?

Well, you could jus tlook at an online glossary of different HTML codes and such:

Dreamweaver works pretty well, but learn to hand code it first. You will understand what the program is doing that way and be able to manually edit any problems that arise while using it. I have been using DW4 for awhile now and it does everything just fine most the time.

I use Netscape's Composer. It comes with Netscape 7.

I've heard about Dreamweaver, but what exactly is it?

Just check out Macromedia's website. It will tell you what all it does. It is basically a WYSIWYG editor. You pretty much type stuff on screen much like a word document. Add tables and graphics etc. It does all the HTML coding in the background.

That is why I said it is best to learn how to hand code HTML because then you will understand what it is doing and when you need to manually edit the code, you won't look at it and freak out.

Yes, like i said, learn how to code XHTML instead. HTML is on it's way out. Go to www.w3cschools.com for more info on XHTML.

jko is correct. Don't get scared and think XHTML is something more to learn though. It is really the same, just with more strict rules. The following came right off the site mentioned above and describes the key differences.

-XHTML elements must be properly nested
-XHTML documents must be well-formed
-Tag names must be in lowercase
-All XHTML elements must be closed

What XHTML is aiming to do is make all browsers capable of reading a page. This means computers, cell phones, pdas, etc. It will hopefully eliminate a lot of the problems that are popping up now.

Yep, once you get used to it, it's much much better and cleaner. Plus you get the satisfaction that your code is correct and complies with a standard.
