What Windows editor to use with CI for side-by-side view of Editor & Web Page - El Forum - 11-16-2010
[eluser]Mel_3[/eluser]
- I'm new to CI & have been using MS Expression Web for PHP/MySQL development
- I'm running Windows XP machine with IIE local host and web server software.
I have seen a demo of CI where it appears on a Mac split screen... page view on the left and editor view on the right.
1 - How can I do this on a PC other than opening two windows... CI in one and Notepad in the other?
2 - What text editors should I consider?
3 - Are there other tools I should look at to get started with CI?
Thanks for any help.

I use this one but it is not free.
I am sure other people will list other ones on here for you.

I use Notepad++. It's open source and freely available. It's all I ever use, really. To do multiple views, just open up the two files in Notepad++, then right click the tab for one of them and select "Move to other view."

I'm not sure if you are looking for a WYSIWYG or not. But if you are looking for something that can provide two coding windows at the same time, notepad++ is great. Or if you are looking for more features, try out Eclipse or Netbeans.
