ScottM Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hello Forum When I had a pc, practicing html was a simple matter of opening up notepad, typing in code, saving the file as an html file to my hard drive, and opening it in my browser. Now, however, I have a Macintosh Powerbook G4 with the Mac OSX (Jaguar) operating system. I also have Microsoft Word via Microsoft Office for the Mac. If it helps to know, the two browsers I use are Safari and FirefoxMy question is, with the browsers I have, how can I practice html using MacOSX and/or Microsoft Word?Thanks :)Scott M.

vchris Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 You should still be able to use notepad or any other text editor (Word, Wordpad, ...). There is a topic that mentions free text editors to download. I would recommend getting IE for testing purposes. I have no idea if it works on a MAC. I'm not a MAC guy.

aspnetguy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mac has IE up to version 5 although I think it is still a bit different form the Windows IE.You may have difficultly checking for IE6 but Safari and FF are a good start. You should be able to download Opera for mac, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vchris Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just remembered there is an extension for FF to add an IE tab, which works in the IE environment not FF. That would probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Here is a list of various html editors that people have tried and liked. There's a big chance you'll find one you like, that's better than the old notepad, for example with syntax coloring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 use BBedit for the mac - it isthe most popular text editor you can find - and it supports HTML coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
