Hello

I am wondering if people here use Html and CSS editing softwares. And if yes how do you import your existing pages of Pbase.

I would like to use dreamweaver, but I don't know if it is possible to import my galleries since there is no FTP communication possible with pbase.

If you cannot import the CSS and Html that is already in Pbase, how do you start ? I was thinking of starting on a new basis, erasing all the Pbase stylesheets by

.location
{

as flemmingbo said me, but I don't know exactly how to do it.

Most people just use wordpad, and Firefox Browser with it's wonderful editing ability. Details on installing and use here: http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=13408

I'd love to have dreamweaver, since I've heard it's a great program. But as I've stated before, maybe someone else can offer advise on it's usability with Pbase. Once you know, if you wouldn't mind posting the info, it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I am sure there are all kinds of editors being used, however you have to remember that pbase only lets you paste snippets of code. So you cant download and manage the entire site. You have to make these snippets of code and then test them inside of pbase.

I personally use Firefox+Webdev for CSS and Dreamweaver for html/php, however I only use dreamweaver for the code editor.

Dreamweaver is primarily a WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) editor, and for people making simple banners and html code for pbase it will do a good job and may be easier for some people then writing the code out. But even with a WYSIWYG editor if you don't know a little basic html then you are going to find it difficult.

The reason I like dreamweaver is its a pretty good code editor, and it will automatically upload my changes upon save(this doesn't work with pbase). As well it manages all the site files. How ever these features are not needed for pbase so if you write alot of code for pbase give notepad ++ it has syntax highlighting for tons of languages and is far better then just notepad.

So for pbase I would probably recommend:
Firefox + WebDev for CSS
Notepadd ++ for HTML[/quote]

Thanks Jeffrey! I didn't know of Notepad++ before, thanks for that link!

I used to use Kompozer for the snippets of html code for Pbase, it is a good WYSIWYG editor (and also changes some of the code, big no no) - but it chops up the html and creates some ugly looking code. Notepad++ is just what I needed, thanks again!
