livingstoned Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) My laptop pretty much just quit and I'm trying to complete something - I have a Mac here at my disposal but Mac is a whole new world to me. Anyway question - in TextPad I am able to click on the little globe to see what my page will look like, I've been trying to figure out how to do the same in BBEdit....Anyone know? I'm kinda rushing and don't really have time to teach myself BBEdit completely tonight, and I think I clicked on everything there was to click but there must be some way to view it??? Or no?Any help would be very much appreciated. Edited January 15, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Nevermind - I found it....back to loving this Mac again And my very first webpage the old fashion way outside of using dreamweaver is sweet....how very exciting.

bouche Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 so... how do you do the preview thingy?I don't think I ever sorted out BBEdit. To me, it's just a bloated plain text editor with syntax highlighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I found it in one of the drop downs "View in BBEdit" I think is said (not home right now - going from memory) Again I was rushing and only heard/read about BBEdit last night as far as text editors go for PC vs. Mac. from a quick search when my laptop decided to give me difficulties. Again still all new to me. I think my laptop is pooched though so is there another one I could use for Mac that's better with the same features as TextPad. I'm not even sure if there is TextPad download for Mac or not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woo. Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have never liked BBEdit or dreamweaver for that matter (different reasons of course.)The 2 programs I like for mac are taco click here, which is just a plain text editor, or coda click here , which is loaded with all sorts of features. It even has its own ftp client to upload to your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
