Is there anything on the Macbook Pro that just allows you to type regular HTML code? I tried using text-edit and it wouldn't let me save a file as a CSS. I really just need something kind of like Microsoft Note Pad.

Thanks,
 
You can set it to Plain Text in TextEdit Preferences.

when you open text edit, you can go to format and then go down to "Make plain text", then you can save it as .css or whatever
 
I like Smultron for a basic free text editor. Opens up html and CSS with highlighting, for those quick changes.
 
Depending on how much webwork you plan to do, I would suggest a texteditor that can handle numerous languages and syntax marking [either TextWrangler as mentioned above] or I would throw my money towards TextMate.
 
Taco HTML Edit, Espresso(pretty awesome, pretty expensive), BBEdit, Coda(awesome, expensive), Smultron (free) range of prices and abilities
