HTML tables with lots of CSS

I am creating advanced HTML tables with a lot of CSS in them, what are the best tools out there for making advanced HTML CSS tables that can include dynamic elements like AJAX driven functions (jQuery). I use Dreamweaver and Eclipse, but they just touch the surface, which has a really great set of build tools. If you are using a great tool, let me know about it :-)

Seriously, the closer to metal the better. On Mac, I use TextMate to execute HTML and Javascript and CSSEdit to edit CSS.

The best tool, be it Textpad or Notepad ++. Both support syntax highlighting for different languages, tabbed interface, etc. Stay away from homepage / Dreamweaver.



Also if I may ask why am I hoping not for layout when creating HTML tables?

I will be the second Notepad ++. How about the Express Edition of Visual Studio 200x? You get great design tools, great syntax highlighting, and it's free.

If you want a free, free Mac editor I go with WordWrangler. But if you want something that will cover EVERYTHING for web design, go with Coda.

For PC, I use notepad ++. Not as smooth as the Mac ones, but it allows you to edit directly from the server.

But as far as CSS is specific to tables, you'll want to do it all yourself, as tables are the worst suited for accessibility and semantic labeling and this can only be solved with a hand. Things like scope, colgroups, etc. There will never be WYSIWYG, you have to customize it.

Here's a good starting point:
