GTK2) from Windows when 5.3 was released. ------------------- For generating layout and large amounts of code I'd use Dreamweaver or some other popular WYSIWYG editor. For generating CSS code I'd use Bradbury's TopStyle. For images etc. I would use Photoshop, PSP, or Gimp but mainly Photoshop. I would use Allaire's HomeSite, programmers editor (jEdit, DevPHP) with syntax highlighting (SQL, PHP, Perl, HTML, Etc.), or just notepad to then make changes, clean up, fine tune, etc. For code clean up I would use HTML Tidy and the W3C Validation Service and for testing I'd use Gecko (mainly Mozilla or Firefox), Opera, and IE. ---------------------- Can anyone recommend some tools for photo/image editing besides gimp? How does one test against IE? WYSIWYG (X)HTML Editor/Generators? CSS Generators? Thanks, Nikolas
