Editors code completion other than, IDM brand, which code complete from your HTML name attribute.
Are there any? I have been demoing editors with code completion for JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. I am doing this cause I am a very poor speller but wish to make a career of what design. So I have been trying to learn JavaScript, CSS, and HTML as good as I can. I have have demoed , IDM brand, UEStudio '05 which can code complete from your previously typed values in the name attribute. See the nonsense code below. This is great, but there are other things this editor doesn't have which are great in other editors. The myeclipse editors for JavaScript, CSS, and HTML have an HTML code tree window available which shows you the code tree of your HTML tags. This could be great for using the dot syntax of JavaScript or making child selectors in CSS. It also gives you code category during code completion, I mean is it a method, or handler etc. The myeclipse editors also have a property window which lets you it attribute values in that window. Blumentals brand editors have about the same features of the myeclipse with the exception of the HTML code tree view. The Blumentals brand editors also seem a little buggy in their code completion. IDM brand editors have been iconic WYSIWYG interface which lacks a table icon. However you can insert the table tag from an alphabetical listing.
So I am looking for a recommendation on code completion editors. I would also like to hear from poor spellers who have learned JavaScript, CSS, and HTML better with the aid of a code completion editor. What do you think is most important would you put code completion on the name attribute high on your list.
dot syntax play
<script language="JavaScript">
/**/
</script>

I use two textual editors for web programming:
UltraEdit (made by IDM), have been using that since version 4 I think, and it just continures to improve with every version. This is a great regular text editor with great features designed for programmers.
Zend Studio. I use this one most of the time anymore, just love it the more I use it.
I'm not sure if that will help you, to be honest, after reading your post 4 times, I gave up and guessed at what you were trying to ask for. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I highly recommend that you have someone do your posting here for you.

The person who responded above make me fear that perhaps I was being unclear. So let me give it another go. I am an extremely poor speller and when writing JavaScript as simple as this "var tell=form2.input1.value" I sometimes can have trouble spelling that. But now I see advertised on the Web text editors with automatic code completion. These editors let you type as little as two letters to type a word and a choice box pops up letting you just hit the enter key to type the whole word. However most of these editors rely only on the built-in words of the language. But in JavaScript you sometimes tied words based on the word attribute of the HTML tag. I mean say and you sometimes have to retype youNameItHere in your JavaScript. Most text editors with automatic code completion will not do that for you. I have found a text editor made by IDM which will do that however it lacks some features I like in other text editors with automatic code completion I've tried. So I am looking for suggestions on additional text editors that can do the automatic code completion I just described. As I have described above are really like myeclipse for a some features but it lacks the type of code completion I just described. Hope that is clearer. Marc
