The best HTML editor I have found so far (at least for Firefox)

Firebug

Important update: it appears Firebug leaks memory. You'd probably wanna disable it when you're not using it.

I've been using Firebug as a problem-solving tool for quite a while. The latest release has also made it an awesome tool for getting immediate feedback on changes to the HTML.

Want to edit a page?


1) Bring up firebug (F12) and select the element you want to modify:



2) Click the new "Edit" button on Firebug's toolbar. The element's outerHtml will be loaded into the editor:


3) Edit freely. The browser will be updated as you type!

My SciTE settings

Wandering between computers, I often find myself downloading and configuring SciTE.

So to make life easier (for myself, at least), here are my preferred SciTE.user settings:

buffers.zorder.switching=0

PHP=C:\[path to php...]\php.exe

command.help.*.thtml=$(CurrentWord)!$(SciteDefaultHome)\man\php_manual_en.chm
api.*.thtml=$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\php.api

view.whitespace=0
view.indentation.whitespace=Publish0
view.indentation.guides=0
highlight.indentation.guides=0

source.files=($source.files);*.php;*.thtml
