2. Visit the Quackit HTML Editor website. Quackit has a full-featured HTML editor simliar to one you'd find in a desktop application. Rows of tools at the top of the editor allow you to format HTML text that you enter into the editor, manage hyperlines, add images and perform other HTML-related tasks. The editor displays everything in Preview mode, but you can click the editor's "Source" button to switch to HTML view. In that view you can work directly with your HTML source code just as you would using your desktop editor. When you finish editing, highlight and copy the code you see in Source view and paste it into a text document on your hard drive.
- Online editors are also a great way to test small HTML snippets that you discover on the Internet or develop yourself. For example, if you find a useful code snippet that creates a slideshow, you can copy that code, paste it into an online editor can learn how it works instantly.
- It’s a good idea to copy the code you’re working on periodically in case your Internet connection goes down or your browser crashes. Copy code by clicking inside an editor, pressing “Ctrl-A” and then pressing “Ctrl-C.”
