When I have a web page development project or issue, I try to divide the project into smaller tasks and do experimental web pages to try out new ideas or resolve bugs.
So I needed a development IDE for HTML, Javascript and CSS. Tried Aptana Studio, Microsoft Expression Web 4 and Visual Studio Express, netbeans.
Found Visual Studio 2010 Express Products to be the best. I have to warn you that I am little bit prejudiced because I am very familiar with Visual Studio because of my C#, .net, Silverlight development experience.
What I like about the IDE is it has some Intellisense, you can collapse divs in HTML . For example if you want to add a reference like the following
<script src="js/triangle_1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you can just drag the file from the folder view and drop it in your html file.
I did not want to create a web site for the small files I work with. I already had a few HTML files and associated folders with Javascript and CSS files in a folder with name JQM1. I asked the Visual Studio Express to start a new empty C# web solution and pointed to the JQM1 folder. It said you already have a project, I said yes and the folders showed up.
You can also look at the html pages using the File Web browser option. Since I work a lot with CSS3, I have designated Safari as my default browser and it works fine!
Try it , you may like it. One warning though the installation process took more than an hour and there is a registration process for Visual Studio Express using windows live id, but it is free!
