yeah, i think there might be tableless templates or something for Dw design view, i'm not sure. someone made a comment like that during one of my speels about how my class is so out of date.

we both agreed that to really accomplish good tableless design though, you need to have a good understanding of HTML so design view doesn't save you very much anymore from *menu*select click vs <div>. it seems too redundant to have any benefit so i say go hand cogina ll the way to everyone.

I also use Crimson Editor... I got sick of having multiple windows open with Notepad2 because I'm often synchronously coding in many files at once.

I have been using TextPad for 3 years, never had a problem When editing multiple files i tend to use interior windows and expand the whole editor over dual screens

notepad2 (google it)
i find it useful: highlighting, line#'s

Another Crimson Editor fan here! The only thing that that program really needs is default unicode support.

Since the beginning of my HTML days I have been using Macromedia HomeSite (formerly Allaire HomeSite) which is basically a stripped-down version of Dreamweaver and I will continue to use the program. I love it! There won't be as much clutter with HomeSite in comparison to Dreamweaver.

If you like Notepad, you can check it's "evolution": Notepad II.
