Offline editor

[unknown gamer]

Is there an offline editor were you can use css and html to make a website while not being connected to the internet?

It's called "notepad.exe". You make the site, save it with a .html extension and doubleclick the file to view it in the browser.There are other editors that have better features like indenting and colors to see the code clearer. I use notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

wait, so how would i write css and connect it to the html in notepad without internet? and how could it open an internet page without internet?

Once the file is saved, doubleclick on it (in Windows) and it should open in the browser on its own, if you saved it with a .html extension. And you can integrate CSS right in the page, or write <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> and save it in the same folder as the HTML file. (Don't forget to save the CSS file with a .css extension.

So i save all the files in one folder on my computer?

Im kind of wondering, how were you writing your page originally?

[unknown gamer]

I was using Vista panel on my host but sometimes my internet cuts out so i want to know how to do it offline.

Save the files in any folder on your computer, just use relative paths in all your links, images, stylesheets and the rest. Almost any web developer develops pages on their computer. It's very normal.I never develop them directly on the internet.

I still can't figure out, double-click to view it? How do you get it so you can view what it will look like on the internet?

Here just watch the beginning and end

HTML, JavaScript, CSS are client-side languages so the browser renders it and doesn't require internet. Just create a file in any text editor of your choice, save the file with either .htm or .html on the end of the filename. JavaScript and CSS could be inside your HTML file, but need to be enclosed with <script></script> for JavaScript and <style></style> for CSS. Once you saved it, double click the icon of the file you saved it, if the browser doesn't open your page, either open the browser and go to File -> Open File and search for it, or right click on the file -> Open with -> Click on the browser. It's going to have file:/// instead of http:// in the address bar when you view the file.
