Does anyone know of a text editor I can use to create pages that will give me line numbers? I use WordPad which gives a replace function that NotePad doesen't but neither have line numbers.

sstaubin...there are many fine text editors out there.
The ones you will find SitePointers recommend will be
TextPad (the one I use)
EditPlus (i have downloaded it and it looks great as well)
HomeSite (a combination text editor/WYSIWYG editor)

Dreamweaver has a text editor view that can display the line numbers. However you need to download the whole program with the GUI editor to use the text editor.

Yeah, but I don't understand why such a simple feature doesn't get implemented into NotePad or WordPad!

That could be because they are both made by MS.

Website Rob...don't be lame...The real reason why they are low on features is because both of those programs are over 5 years old. There have been hardly any changes to either of them since they were created for Windows 95.
I'm not saying that is an excuse, it's just that i am sure that MS did not realize how widely used two of the most basic applications they gave use would be used.
I think that Notepad SUCKS and think that it should be deleted from every system but hey...that's just me.Adobe Certified Coldfusion MX 7 Developer

It was a rhetorical question and maybe I just have a better sense of humour than you do.
As you stated "they are both over 5 years old" so the obvious question is "why hasn't MS updated them" as previously asked. Pretty much any answer will do as it would only be a personal opinion, conjecture, and a shot in the dark, anyway.
If you want to provide a serious answer that actually answers the question, can you do better than the lame one you provided above?

Actually, EDIT.EXE is probably a better text editor than NotePad. Start: Run "EDIT". I think it's from the days of DOS, and it's exactly the same in Windows Millenium. Even sadder.

In Win2k, Notepad finally has been updated. You can use keyboard shortcuts now and the number of features has been expanded.
Anyway, Notepad was meant to be simple.www.nyanko.ws - My web-, software- and game development company.

Wow, an updated Notepad! I'd like to see a screenshot!
How about Paint? And Wordpad? And is EDIT.EXE still lying around?

There are only minor differences between the two. EDIT says what line and column the cursor is on in the bottom right corner of the screen and NOTEPAD has a word wrap feature.

I'm spoil now, got used to using NotePad in Win2000, and now whenever I go to someone elses computer who has Win98, I curse when Ctrl+S doesn't work, then I push the keys even harder, thinking that it'll help.
NotePad's useful for jotting things down, like some nafty signatures that people has, or some nice quotes, NotePad does the trick.

I like WebTek (http://parkenet.org/wrp/apl/WebTek/webtek.html). It's a very nice html editor, easy to use, and free (my favorite part!)
