thanks guys, i'll give them all a look.

Another question: i want to keep a picture in the same place in the bottom right hand corner of the page irrespective of screen resolution (ie: the picture is to always sit 10pixels off the right border and bottom border .) How does one do this?

Some CSS would do the trick. Something along the lines of this:

Code: Select all

.botright
{
   position: absolute;
   bottom: 10px;
   right: 10px;
}

Monty, I started out with Scite (Scintilla Text Editor) It's lightweight like notepad, but it highlights keywords, which can be usefull sometimes.

I then moved on to Dreamweaver as the company supplied it. Very strong tool, but costly too. So I would recommend Scite.

Notepad++ has syntax highlighting and basic auto-complete.

hey..

If you want to keep it there irrespective of scrolling as well then use the following code..

Code: Select all

.botright
{
    position:fixed;
    _position:absolute; /* ie6 */
    bottom:10px;
    left:10px;
    height:XXpx; /* optional extra */
    width:XXpx; /* optional extra */
}
The reason for the _position is for the old IE6 browser and you need to sometimes define a height and width as some browsers don't necessarily have an automated size according to it's content. They are optional extra's though.

And oh -- I use Aptana as a web dev tool. Perfect if you are using HTML, PHP, Cloud and JQuery! And it is for FREE!
