Best HTML editor for mac?
Looking for the best HTML editor for MAC.
\tI am new to the MAC world since apostating from PC?s but generally fairly proficient with computers.
\tI also know very little in general of HTML ? but looking for something quite easy to use and quite powerful ? if such a thing exists.

its free and you can easially write in html, perl, sql etc with it.
it is the best
Freeway Pro
It's an amazing program, truely WYSIWYG, and produces extremely clean code. It never ceases to amaze me what this program can do, and more importantly, how easily it does it.
And it's neat.

If you don't know any HTML BBEdit won't help much. Freeway and PageSpinner would be a better choince then. Hydr.. errr... SubEthaEdit has the wery cool instant update webview so that'd be my choice before BBEdit also.

I agree with this.
PageSpinner is what I recommend. It writes great, clean HTML, and it will help you to learn to write HTML properly.
There is a .dmg file for MacOSX

\tWondering if Dreamweaver of GoLive might be better for someone in my position? I am willing to learn HTMP but looking for something that I can click and drag to create some web pages at the beginning to assist me in this learning process.

Thank you for all the advise ? these all look like very good programs but they do seem to require some knowledge of HTML.

If you want to learn HTML from DW or GL, you won't get anywhere. They produce incredibly sloppy code.
I really like Mozilla composer. It's so simple, and produces clean code. Easiest editor I've seen.

WHAT PENSEIVE SAID!!! Download it. Use it. Love it.
I prefer to use WYSIWYG editors and tweak/clean up by hand as needed.

Dude, don't piss new users off like that. If you were truly hardcore instead of a wannabe zealot, you'd know that MAC can stand for Mouse Activated Computer.

Unless you want to actually write HTML. I don't know if the poster wanted to write HTML, or create web pages in a GUI tool. Mozilla Composer pages render crap in Internet Explorer. I'm all for standards compliance and all, but I'd rather standard compliant pages that also render well in IE.

It is what I learned on.. and still use to this day.
Its also what most of the top web developers that use macs, use... like Jeffrey Zeldman, for instance.
i had bbedit for a while and didn't like it. used a couple of those other programs mentioned and they all work fine, but finally i got golive and love it. but i don't think that any of these programs are really going to teach you html that well.
