i have been working on our website and notepad officially hates me now. When i save certain files and go back to them later, all of the newlines are mysteriously gone! It takes ten minutes to get the lines back, or else it’s hard to read and edit.:ahh:
ARGGHHHH!!!
And it’s only certain files (namely the ones i need to edit and mess with the most.)
I’m not exactly a notepad whiz here…but can you save the files as different types of txt files? Like UNICODE and other fun stuff like that? If so…make sure it’s to plain text or something like that
Are you coding HTML in Notepad? I don’t see the logic in that. You can type in Dreamweaver, plus it colour-codes, autocompletes, validates, and visualizes.
I actually use notepad quite a bit. When I’m working on a website at school, or even on my laptop, when I don’t have programs such as Dreamweaver, I use notepad. I like notepad because it doesn’t crash, or get in the way memory-wise and loads instantly. There are many features that are better in other website programs, but I find that notepad is quite handy in many respects including tweaking and updating of information.
If you don’t like notepad, there’s a program with the same light-weight called metapad. metapad It has other features that are nice to have if you like notepad.
Why not just use Wordpad or Word (Yes, there is a difference)?
Wordpad apparently does the same thing. :ahh:

Notepad is all I have, except for word (which hogs memory), 3 different C++ compilers (that are akward to use), and frontpage (which won’t let you open lots of code windows and switch between them easily). :ahh:
Oh, and i’m not doing html, i’m doing mostly php and mysql.
