I really love notepad++ for windows when doing some html coding at work but unfortunately there is no version for mac operating system for my macbook pro at home.

Can you please recommend some alternatives for mac that has alot of the same features of notepad++. One item in particular is in notepad++ when you click on a <div> tag for example, it will highlighted the corresponding <div> tag within the document. I really like this to make sure I dont have an error. Do any mac alternatives offer this feature.

Not sure if it has that functionality, but Coda is a pretty good all-purpose html/css coding app. TextWrangler is also a good option.

TextWrangler is Free on the AppStore
BBEdit (TextWrangler's big brother) is $39.99 until October (available on AppStore)
Coda (my favorite) is $99.99 and offers built-in FTP, CSS editing, and project management (available on AppStore)
TextMate is $57, but not available on the AppStore yet.
