Is there any IDE that lets or complete the tag immediately ?
eg. once i finish writing <html>, it will insert </html> automatically.
this will reduce time and also help to reduce error.
I am working in windows and would like to have some free editors/IDE.
I am just starting to learn some html and web programming, so any tips is welcome. thanks
checkout Aptana - aptana.com
And you can install Zen coding for fast code-writting - http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/ Short video - http://vimeo.com/7405114
There are many - first of all any XML editor will do it (or at least support XHTML (with <BR/> and <HR/> instead of <BR> and <HR>)).
Check out HTML editors in softpedia.com
Yes, most IDEs do that.
To give just one example, Visual Studio Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
Could you be more specific about what kind of IDE you need if you want a suggestion of an IDE more suitable for you?
If you are on mac use textmate or on windows use e-text editor. These editors have very good support for HTML, ROR, PHP and stuff and reduces lot of typing. like head followed by tab will create a head tag, and very useful and time saving key binding and shortcuts.
