DO?s and DON?Ts

[Moonwolf]

Neat lists. Here's one of mine:

Get a text editor that will show you line numbers, it makes tracking down errors your pages spew at you easier. A good one is GTEdit (www.gtesoft.com, a nagware editor (after 30 days it'll pop up a registration reminder every now and again, but is otherwise complete). It's got another advantage in that you can use it to upload your edited text file via ftp right from the editor, and it keeps backups too.

Oh, and when hacking, remember to count your brackets

I personaly prefere "UltraEdit32" at: http://www.ultraedit.com/

It is the best editor for coding (my opinion) cause it knows many languages and marks the code colored.
(for ex: If u have a html file all html tags are in color so u see if u make a typo its grey and not the normal color (blue) )
Linenumbers are also no problem! hehe

Hey thanks for the offline server thing

[TELEK]

since you guys are talking about text editors, do any of those have a search feature? Like kind of how Internet Explorers "Find on this page" works?

[StarBuG]

Of course they have a search feature!
Ultraedit has:

a) search in this file
b) search in files (open/selected/...)
also replace and so many more features..

just check it out!
