    TextEdit.



    Anything that you can use to write text can make HTML files. I do all of my coding in TextEdit because of its clarity and simplicity.

    All that matters.

    Just shut up. All you ever do is make this ^ exact type of childish argumentative post. It's old. Knock it off.

    Unless you want to split hairs and discuss degrees of gray, that's your prerogative. He likes the Mac section and hates the Pro Section.



    Either way, the end result isn't that he hates the current site.



    In 5 days the entire site will have the transition look. Should we wait until there is no area with any of the old look for you to concur that he no longer hates what he can't hate?



    Thats way too many sentences in response to this flame-baiting nonsense spewer.

    I hope Apple is working on the next iWeb as we speak - full HTML5.



    WONDERFUL!

    Really? Your FF works fine? FF on my PC at work is having an awful time of it. No image at all on the apple.com home page, just a bit empty grey square. And I get this lovely rendition of the MAC page. So they revamped their store so it only works on Safari?? That'll increase sales.

    It looks like the navigation bar has different animations to no animation when written. On Store page it just appears. On the iPad page it appears from the bottom. On Startpage it appears from the top. Purposeful or some oversight?



    I do like the new way the Mac and iPod page icons appears. I never liked the scroll bar to find products within each of those categories. Is that animation mainly JS?

    Now if they could just rework iWeb to support HTML 5!

    Why? It's a Void Element.



    http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/meta.name.html







    Therefore:



    This:



    Code:




    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    <meta name="Author" content="Apple Inc." />

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=1024" />









    Should be this:



    Code:




    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    <meta name="Author" content="Apple Inc.">

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=1024">









    Also the XHTML Namespace gives a clue:



    Code:




    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">









    In straight HTML5 [now just HTML] with language set to US English and the xml language attribute:



    Code:




    <html xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">









    The added XHTML Namespace is definitely for a fall back. If you view this in Firefox 3.6.13 the Snappy Menu action of selecting the Search Text field doesn't work.



    So instead of serving completely separate versions of the Site [One for XHTML and the other for HTML 5] they are serving a mixed site that has functionality only available for the HTML 5 version when the Client supports it. That's a browser header sniff there.



    Thanks, good info to know.

    Restart your browser and/ or PC. You're probably cached.

    Someone tells you it works fine for them in FF and then you try and say it only works in Safari... real nice...



    BTW - it works fine in FF for me.

    Looks to me like you have a caching issue. Your screenshot has the "mac, applications, accessories, server" menu bar words in the wrong order than they are now, the horizontal slider doesn't exist any more and your top menu is the old style.

    Got to love the auto completion, colored syntax and the auto indent. Not to mention the code look up feature.

    the new design must really be something for the 0.00000001% of people who realize it is an implementation of HTML5.



    for the rest of us...slightly new layout.

    And those really are the only things I miss. Compared to Dreamweaver, TextEdit is worth it, even without them.



    What do you use? I'd love to find something with those three features that retains the simplicity of TextEdit.
