Been using WYSIWYG Web Builder for a little bit as suggested by a few PB users and Paul...excellent product too. Tried to find an editor to edit PHP better though since WWB is limited there and with custom layouts...came across a program called HTML Kit. Website has a free version they call 292 at: http://www.htmlkit.com
So far it appears to be a very interesting editor and sort of a cross between word processor and notepad. Still figuring it out since it has a ton of options for a free app. I kinda like some of the features like a smaller Office 2007 type Ribbon Bar...could use some labels and it would be perfect (Paid version appears to go with the more 2007 larger ribbon look). I like how the editor has the option for showing hidden chars like Word does where you can see spaces/tabs/returns and the highlight line option where it puts a line above and below the current line looks cool too. Could be some interesting additions to the FF editor. A little cluttered since it has everything AND the Kitchen Sink, but looks pretty useful so far.
To edit my PHP code I use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm), check it out.
I had heard many use it. Never downloaded it till now though. I guess it would be a nice replacement, but is missing some HTML specific stuff. I like how it splits the EOL chars into CR and LF...doesn't show spaces as dots though. The other thing I saw in HTML Kit that was cool are the +- Up/Down controls in the preferences. They look cool compared to the normal Up/Down...would be a cool custom control.
I used to do notepad, but I've really started to like Microsoft Expression Web 3.
