html composing reloaded

Its been a while since I last had to do any manual html composing. Instead of sticking to the regular dreamweaver, for this time round, I took a look around to see what good open source alternatives are available. Heres the latest configuration of my "enviroment".

Firefox with the following plugins

  • Firebug - great debugging tool
  • Web developer - name says it all, a real "swiss army knife"
  • color picker - great for getting the actual color
  • IE Tab - for double checking it runs ok in IE
Composing tools
  • Nvu - Neat tool that does exactly what it say
  • Sea Monkey - Thought this would be good but theres simply too many unnessary stuff thats pack in it, ditched it in favour of Nvu
