Can anyone recommend a HTML editor for osx? I am taking a basic html class and I want to use a program other than textedit. One that will highlight my code nicely.
Thanks!

BBEdit is a very good editor, but it's not free. (The coders at the web design firm I used to work at, post-Microsoft, all used it.)
A free alternative to BBedit if you don't want to spend the cash(Free for private use, Commercial use is like 35$) is SubEthaEdit. Has syntax style hilighting which you can custom configure for different strings. Plus not only does it have pre set highlights for HTML it also does for just about any programming language available, and if it's not you can always add your own sets.
Plus it lets you see your progess in realtime via a preview pane which shows your results as you type your HTML.

I think maybe TextWrangler is a bit better BBEdit substitute than SubEthaEdit, since that's made by the same company as BBEdit, as a freeware version of BBEdit. (Edit: Just to be clear SubEthaEdit is also a very nice text editor, and I have and use both... 
)
Also Taco HTML edit has been mentioned. Quite nice and free program, which even let you preview php natively, without going through Apache.
For a bit more powerful tool, but still free, check out NVU. It's basically a free version of Dreamweaver...

HTML just begun writing code using Textedit on a G5.
Code seems correct - however the actual code displays in every browser I use [Firefox, Safari, IE].
What am I doing wrong?
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>AldenBerndsen Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
The AldenBerndsen Home Page.<br>
First attempt.<hr>
<p>Wow!<hr>
Weow!<br>
</body>
</html>
Thanks

vim. It's simple yet powerful. (it runs on the terminal)
I tried your code and it shows correctly (although you are missing a </p>). Maybe the problem is the text editor... try saving it in something else (you can try pico, also in the terminal. But vim is much better...)
