Is there any good html & css editors in a web application? And I don't mean those like dreamweaver and eclipse. I mean like those editors stackoverflow uses when asking a question. I tried find for html editor online, but most of the editors don't support css. Does anyone know any good ones? Preferably to be used for Ruby-on-Rails! :)
I only use it in one place, but CKeditor has been pretty good. It integrates well with RailsAdmin, which is what I use it for. Look for the ckeditor gem.
You can use https://github.com/Nerian/bootstrap-wysihtml5-rails
I truly love TinyMCE. It's the editor that ships with WordPress, but it can be installed by itself. It is highly configurable, supports css, and is quite powerful.
There are two versions, a javascript version and a jquery version, so it can be installed with any server technology, but there is also a TinyMCE gem for rails.

I want to know, how I install html and CSS on windows 10. I can't find any tutorials on yt or google.
I'm beginning to think they are already preinstalled, I just want to make sure.
Thanks for the help :)
HTML and CSS are both directly compiled in the browser itself. So it doesn't matter what version of windows you have. What you need is a web browser, like Chrome, Mozilla and Safari that supports HTML and CSS.
HTML & CSS are not languages computed by a computer, they are used in browsers. Every browser supports them but to different levels. If you want a HTML/CSS editor try VS Code, free and lightweight but fast as anything
They are not "installed" in a computer. They are processed by any browser. If you have unclear what are they just follow this little explanation.
There are three main languages used to build a website:
HTML: is a markup language used to create the skeleton of a layout.
CSS: is a stylesheet language that describes the style of the elements in the web page.
JavaScript: is a programming language in charge of making a website interactive, managing the user interaction with the layout components.
This is taken from an article I published on my blog about "What does a Front End do". You could read it here.

I have an amateur question, is there a comprehensive software for design web site that support all web language for example html , css , php, javascript, and laravel framework and also data base and interface design from A to Z .Thank’s for your answer to this question .
excuse me guy
not just editor something like netbeans or visual studio
Coda is a good alternative for beginners, with preview and plenty of language support.

Btw Visual studio is an editor. There are some great editors you could find for eg. Caret(Chrome OS only), VIM, Notepad++, Atom, Code pad(Chrome OS only), Bluefish, and, Sublime. (I understand this post is very old) Also, there are online editors like Codepen.io
Visual Studio is so powerful and convenient as HTML,CSS and JS editor.
After typing div,it automatically types /div for me.Espresso can do this as well, but it just doesn't types the TAP or space*4 automatically,that's awful!
So, is there any web editor on Mac as powerful as Visual Stdio.Thanks!
By the way, vs2013 Pro is free for students.
There are many good editors for HTML, CSS and JS for Mac like Espresso, Coda 2, TextMate.
But I personally prefer Sublime Text + Emmet combination.
Emmet Documentation
Check this link also for some of the features of Emmet.
Why don't you take a look at Sublime Text, TextMate or Coda 2?
You may find TypeMetal productive for HTML content authoring. It makes the easy stuff easy, while providing unrestricted access to HTML's full element set. TypeMetal produces streamlined, professional-grade markup, while enabling you to work with fully styled content in a keyboard-shortcut-rich environment. You can find links to a free demo build and the complete online user guide here. (I designed and developed TypeMetal to be the "missing HTML editor" I've long wished for -- hope you'll enjoy it too!)
You can try learning and customizing vim ( = !
I use FrontPage for two different tasks; authoring html help and authoring a couple of websites. The websites don't require a lot of stuff -- they are there to disseminate a bit of information to a couple of small audiences.
FrontPage has been quick and easy for these tasks. WYSIWYG is good for these jobs and I like being able to click on links to quickly bring up other pages in the editor.
I've been exploring all sorts of options. tools that work online such as Kompozer make editing the html help difficult (at least, I haven't found a way around) and other html-level tools are just too much work. Tried nVu, Kompozer, Aptama, Komodo, Bluefish and so far, unless I'm missing something, I'm not sold on any of them.
I'm about to take a look at SeaMonkey but wondering if anybody has any recommendations. Or should I go back and look at those other tools again -- maybe I missed something?
Notepad++
I think the natural upgrade path would be Microsoft Expression Web.
People still use FrontPage?
I switched a couple of years back to DreamWeaver and never looked back.
Something to consider is that you could deploy these sites as wikis (which don't have to be publically editable) and edit them directly on the web in your browser. This would give you the ability to click around and do pretty much wysiwyg edits. It would also make it easier to maintain larger collections of data and to make new pages. You also don't really have to do any HTML at all because wikis mostly come pre-HTMLed (and CSSed and Javascripted), you just need to fill in the content.
I should note that this won't work if your webpages are deployed statically on a restrictive shared hosting account, but even most shared hosting supports installing things like wikis these days, so hopefully this is something you can look into.
I should also note that this probably isn't the best way to do local HTML help files, but if the HTML help is online, this is probably still a good choice.
I'm making this community wiki so others can add links to other wikis if they like or add more info on why you might want to or not want to use a wiki for this purpose.
Some wikis to consider:
MediaWiki - The wiki behind wikipedia
MoinMoin - Implemented in Python and popular in that community.
TiddlyWiki - Implemented in Javascript and runs on a single page. This is probably the most different wiki that's out there. Some love it, some hate it.
NVU and Kompozer both are best suited for you. NVU is my personal choice. Choose your poison. :)
FrontPage has been replaced by SharedPoint Designed in the Office suite.
You could also use Microsoft Expression Web if you can have it.
Drewamweaver or MS's Visual Studio/Web Developer Express will do the trick. They're both overkill (especially MS's tools).
I also think MS has (free) HTMLHelp. It's out there, but I don't know if it'll produce the files you need.
It depends on what kind of pages you are designing. If you are using Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver would be the best option but I would recommend "Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express". I am currently using it and totally love it from the bottom of my heart.
I'd say Dreamweaver, but last time I looked there was still bloated code, not as bad as the MX days mind.
Smashing Magazine has a list of WYSIWYG tools that would be worth a look :
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/05/06/25-wysiwyg-editors-reviewed/
I persuaded my friend to ditch Dreamweaver for NetBeans, took a week or so but I got a pint out of that :)
You might look into Aptana (http://aptana.org) which should provide everything you need. I think it even has a WYSIWYG editor, though I would really recommend learning html instead.
I would use Notepad++ for the simpler things, and Dreamweaver when working with other Adobe products. Notepad++ is simple and has a lot of great features. Dreamweaver is huge and will take some getting used to.
Try dokuwiki. I've implemented a wiki/manual/documentation for my app in a week. It's very simple n easy installing. You just need PHP, no database (mysql), the information is stored on files. Give it a try.
My wiki implemented wiki doku: wiki.vigo.com.br
Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express perhaps? http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/
Works well, and it's free!
Something similar to FrontPage is Adobe Contribute. It does cost $199, but if you're looking for something as simple as FrontPage, it may be a good option for you.
A freelancer web designer I work with will setup clients who want to make simple HTML edits to their sites with it and they've all been pretty happy. They're all non-technical people.
Dreamweaver is good, but however using the WYSIWYG may have problems getting consistency when viewing between IE, firefox and safari.
I don't like WYIWYG editors, I want to be responsible for the selection and placement of each tag and attribute! Is there a good editor out there that allows you complete control over the HTML but offers useful features such as:
syntax highlighting (of course)
suggestions of tags, attributes etc. e.g. as dropdown lists
validation and accessibility checking
previewing the HTML
Currently I use TextPad with syntax highlighting, but feel I could do better.
I'm a big fan of Aptana for generic HTML/CSS/Javascript editing. Based on Eclipse, but nicer usability. Automatic formatting, code suggestion (with native support for jQuery & ExtJs) and embedded browser tabs for checking your work.
It's also cross-platform, supports Windows Mac & Linux.
I like Notepad++; it doesn't have embedded preview, but it's lightweight, has a good UI, syntax-highlights reliably...
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 might suit your needs (and there's a free download "express" version).
Others have mentioned Visual Studio and HTML Kit. You might also consider DreamWeaver or Microsoft Expression Web. Technically, both of these (and even Visual Studio) have WYSIWYG modes, but they also offer split source/WYSIWYG and total source-only modes. All have validation, standards checking and the whole nine. All allow complete control over code with no fuss nor muss, if that's what you want. Expression and DreamWeaver support syntax highlighting for more than just HTML/ASP; both also support PHP natively.
Here's a link to Visual Web Developer Express (the free Visual Studio Brian mentioned).
I really like Coda on the Mac http://www.panic.com/coda/.
HTMLKit is reasonably decent and free.
I really like Microsoft Expression Web 2.0 or Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007, depending on my needs.
Specifically, Microsoft Expression Web 2.0 supports development of the basics (HTML, CSS, etc.) while including Intellisense for ASP.NET and PHP.
Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007 includes support for SharePoint Services and MOSS.
I've heard people say that they like Dreamweaver, but it's a little on the bloated side for my taste. Both the tools I mentioned above allow for WYSIWYG editing, but they support all the features you listed as well. They also allow for doctype support and validation for accessibility, etc.
I recommend Programmer's Notepad for lightweight code editing, but then I'm biased :)
To be fair, these are all also good for the same:
Notepad++,
SciTE,
Notepad2.
None of these (including PN) do the big extras you're asking for with previews and the like, however. For those features you need something more full featured like the already recommended and excellent Expression Web or perhaps even Visual Web Developer.
I should point out also that there are loads of editor discussions on SO already:
https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=html+editor
I still use an old version (4.0) of Homesite and it does just about all I want and need. It was originally written by Nick Bradbury and was not too heavy, had just the right set of features, and was very popular.
Nick sold Homesite to Allaire and then it was eaten by bigger and bigger fish. But it is still maintained and now being sold alongside Dreamweaver as a text-based HTML alternative by Macromedia (and now Adobe).
They charge $99 USD for it.
I would have upgraded, but they only have upgrade pricing for version 4.5 and after. Sorry for the following emotional comment, but I say Software vendors should not ignore early adopters of their programs. People who were first in line deserve special and lifetime treatment. They will become your best customers and best spokesmen for your software, if you let them.
I realize you're on Windows (from the tools you describe) but, for the next Mac guy to read this question:
TextMate seriously does-not-suck for editing all sorts of things, especially collections of things (like projects of C, ruby, java, html, perl, bash, etc.) If it had SubEthaEdit's ability to do cooperative editing, it'd be the only editor I ever use.
TextMate
Depending on what code you will be using (ASP v. php v. ruby, etc), I would suggest Dreamweaver. It is WYSIWYG, but many of the best editors you would find are, including VS 2008. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to use it! I used Dreamweaver quite often at my last job and it was great for editing code and quickly previewing.
Edit: I should mention that Dreamweaver would be best for html, css, javascript, coldfusion, and php. Those are the technologies I have used it with.
I really like Kate, and since it's a KPart, other KDE programs use it as the editor, so it's goodness everywhere!
(why is everybody else assuming you use windows?)
You might want to look into Bluefish - it's what I use for php at home. It has nice support for syntax highlighting for many languages and quite a bit of other goodies HTML-wise.
I use Eclipse here at work, for J2EE stuff. It comes with some great tools and syntax highlighting for html/css/etc.
