Can anyone recommed a good IDE to use in order to develop great html pages. I tried dreamweaver but its compatibility in browsers except from IE was bad. I generally write plain html, however I am looking for professional and clean looking pages and an IDE is perhaps the best solution.

Thanks

I have yet to find a great WYSIWYG editor.. they all stink in their own special ways. For a basic editor, with highlighting and clip-libraries and such: TextPad

Hi Joe,

As feyd said, there isn't a good wysiwyg IDE yet, certainly not if you want clean looking pages. Dreamweaver makes better code than Frontpage, but still it's far from coding it by hand.

So I can only recommend you to get more experience and knowledge in handcoding.

A great tool for handcoding for me is still Homesite 5. It isn't free, but it isn't expensive as well, at least that's my opinion, don't know if it's still for sale though, as I thought it became a part of dreamweaver mx.
