Looking for an HTML Editor...

[carfac]

Hi:

New switcher here... and I am looking for a good HTML editor. I DID see the other thread (which is what got me thinking about this post). But that was for a WYSIWYG editor- I do not do that. I want something to edit code directly in. WYSIWYG does not give me the control I want.

I want a couple other things. preview- that is obvious. But I also need to open multiple pages at once, and be able to do global (ALL pages!) search and replace.

The WIN program I use is ancient (1997!)- I do not need lots of bells and whistles, justy good, solid programs!

Thanks!

Dave

i like dreamweaver for coding with a preview. when you make changes in the code, just hit F5 to refresh the preview. not sure about global find and replace, though it does have find and replace within a single document. i also like being able to have different documents open in tabs.
i used to like golive, but that was when i was doing wysiwyg; dreamweaver is pretty awesome. not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for as it does have a good deal of bells and whistles, plus it's somewhere around $99

BBEdit might be what you're looking for

Have you seen in the Essential web-dev tools, tips and sites for Mac thread and to some degree in the Beginning Website Design and Development thread over in the Web Design and Development forum?

You'll find recommendations ranging from Dreamweaver, and the free alternative, Nvu, via programs like iWeb and Rapidweaver and maybe even Taco HTML Edit to text editors like BBEdit and it's free relative TextWrangler...
