Title: Real-time preview html editor
Post by: Keoni29 on June 24, 2014, 03:23:23 pm
I am looking for a free html editor with a real-time preview window.  I'd prefer a linux version, but I could run the editor in wine.

w3school's editor works well for me.
You have to load it with one of the defaults, though, i just picked this one because it was in my history: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_parseint

You could also use your favorite text editor and have firefox refresh the page every time you save (or make your build-and-run key trigger it, same deal). Not exactly real time but that works.

Hey, what about a meta tag that refreshes the page automagically? That's what I did with my server statistics page: http://cookiecraft.eeems.me:81/minecraft/
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4"> <!-- Will refresh every 4 seconds -->

That works too but you have to wait for the refresh cycle so not exactly as instant.
