I've started learning how to build webpages but Dreamweaver is terrible as it continually hangs, anyone know of a decent, free software which does a similar job (auto-completes/suggests code as you go) to dreamweaver that they would recommend to a beginner?

@Dr.Evil html to start, I already had a basis in it from when I used to have use my phone to post my writing online. <br> <br> and ty, I'll give that a shot. I've been using notepad++ too but it doesn't have the features of dreamweaver.

@Dr.Evil Netbeans looks pretty cool... might have a play with that :-)

@gallanted It's really good. Does everything dreamweaver does but without the hanging issues and stupid popups every time you click something. <br> <br> @Dr.Evil thanks very mucho for the suggestion, just ran through three css sections on the course in no time at all using nb.

Also you can try Sublime Text as simple editor.

For years I've been using the freeware version of HTML-Kit which is an excellent piece of software, but it is source based so you would need to have a bit of coding knowledge to make the most of it. <br> <br> Page Breeze ( www.pagebreeze.com/ ) is a really easy to use freeware editor that has both WYSIWYG and source modes. It makes okay pages but they will be a bit bloated unless you learn how to incorporate CSS. into them. Good basic lessons in CSS can be found at www.csstutorial.net/.

@gallanted I've been going through the web design diploma on alison.com (which is free and well explained going from what I've done so far) and have already gone through the basics in css, the thing I've found most surprising is that the basics in html/css really are quite simple, especially when compared to learning even entry-level java. <br> <br> Edit: and thank you, I'll have a look at your suggestion and see if it pans out

@Mykee83 I gave up on Java 'cos there is nothing that I would want to put in pages that hasn't already been done, so if I want something specific I just look for an Open Source version. If you've got the basics under your hat I would suggest HTMLKit. It has always done the job for me.

@gallanted I'm talking java programming rather than javascript for web pages. I learned to write very, very, very, very... basic programs last year and html is nowhere near as grindy so far.

@Mykee83 Oh... I'm too long in the tooth for all that. As long as the Sun rises in the morning and the pub opens on time I don't need any apps or gadgets :-D <br>
