cpd Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 All that did was ask me if i wanted to Save Changed then closed Dreamweaver. After i reopened it presuming it was the standered way to do it (Dunno why) and nothing changed...

Mchl Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ugh... people still fall for this joke... I guess what DarkWater wanted to tell you is: "don't use DreamWeaver, get something that works" But I'm just guessing Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136927-disable-self-closing-tags/#findComment-715117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpd Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 I only use dreamweaver in Code mode and i used to agree it was awful but i now find it very easy. Reason being is ive set the workspace up so i can view all my files to the left and just click it and it also tabs it like Notepad++. So all in all its the same as Notepad++ or Notepad etc but it has the files right next to you then has the pages your working on tabed at the top. If i can only get the self closing tags off it will be fine Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136927-disable-self-closing-tags/#findComment-715135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Never used DreamWeaver so I can't help you. I can however strongly encourage you to use NetBeans Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136927-disable-self-closing-tags/#findComment-715136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpd Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 tried it and it over complicated things so i left it. Tried notepad and it didnt work properly coz it couldnt hand large files. Tried Notepad2 and it worked wonderfully but i got annoyed at it coz when your working on several pages it opens a new window for each so i then tried Notepad++ which tabs and it was fine but it does stupid things like inndents elseif tags on its own which i didnt want etc and also i had to have a folder with all my filed open. A friend showed me his layout for dreamweaver which has prooved to be the best out of all five. I now want to disable self closing tags and make the page extend from left to right which it doesnt do atm. It just drops a line when i dont want it to but im sure i can get it sorted. Far easier and i find i can code quicker because theres a list of all my files to the left of dreamweaver/. And thats my story of how i came to use dreamweaver:P Any idea how to disable self closing tags?
