1stPage 2003

!!! wow they finnaly upgrade. gotta check this out. thanks for the tip firstpage has been my editor for years and is the best out there IMO.

[edit]well your link doesnt work so there's a working one. but i cant seem to find any place to download it.

1st page 2000 was a Homesite rip-off, big time. Is this one any different? At one time I heard they were having legal problems about that, which is why it took so long to get a new version out.

I can't seem to get that link to work, Kyle. Could you check it again? Looks like you've been reading the Engrish thread

Lol...sorry about the typo

The upgraded features (supposedly):
-Now supports (color-code tags) CSS, "all" HTML documents (XHTML?), VBScript
-Code compression
-Built in FTP
-"Web documents" to XML

I didn't hear anything about the legal issues.

You can download the program from:
http://www.evrsoft.com/download.shtml#download_now

I haven't done so yet, waiting till I hook up my Wi-??? (802.11g "Wi-Fi network, its coming in the mail!) network.

that download is for the 2.0 version. the new one is 3.0

? i dont see that it is an exact copy they have similarities but that is because they are both good editors, i prefer 1st page since it is free and has some things that homesite didnt have when i last used it, and i also never head of any legal problems.

i dont think that the new version is actualy ready yet. but they are putting up parts of the page before the product is out for some reason.

oh, well i must have been using version one about 2 years ago. I had to wipe my HD clean and start over with everything (AOL problems when i switched to another company's DSL), and I never dl'ed it.

I'd have to agree with you, jammin, it has features that others just don't. Not complicated, and not a WYSIWYG Editor (even though it can function as one). Two thumbs up.

Hmmm, is that a 'feature' of AOL? Forcing you to wipe you HD before you can use another ISP is certainly a good lock-in!

Certainly, this product looks good - a reasonable amount of scripts bundled in as well...Going to have to download it when I get back from work.

I hope this post brings more people than just us to it. Did I mention it's free?

i cannot rave about 1st page enough.

it is the best editor out there IMO and it is free. try it if you havent already, it has 4 modes to code in, easy, normal, expert, and hardcore. (i personally like the layout of expert more than hardcore) it has syntax highliting. (that can be changed if you don't like the colors)

IT ADDS NOTHING TO YOUR WEBPAGE! that is more than you can say for some editors you have to pay for, where they tag your page with their editor name.

did anyone say "free"?

well ill leave it at that for now.

Editors that add metadata about themselves really bug me, as for the ones that mess with my beautiful hand-written code - the CD they came on get's burnt :flame:

Good to hear 1st Page doesn't do this...Wow, and it's free!

That counts me out.

Check this out for free, syntax-highlighting, non-junk-inserting (for the most part), dev software.

oh yeah, ignore anyone that tells you that there is a virus installed with first page. the file is called sixbuttonsfromhell.izs, and it is a javascript that will simply crash your browser if you click one of six buttons. it isnt a virus since it doesnt replicate or harm your computer. they put it in there as an example.
