I'm new on web programming, I'm currently studying php, mysql, javascript, and jquery. I'm using the freeware notepad++ on windows and geany on linux. I like these two programs, but I wonder if there's a freeware program that has the auto complete function of geany, and the start and end tag locator of the notepad++. Geany has a start and end locator too but it only locates the brackets and parenthesis unlike notepad++, it locates the start and end tag of the code for example when i click a 'tr' tag it could highlight it's end tag '/tr' which is good when debugging a web program. Do you know of a program that has the both function or even an additional function that doesn't include with these programs that is essential to debug a web program? Thank you!

I just visited www.codeproject.com. I use to visit that site before but it was a very long time ago. It has so many tips, articles, and discussions about programming but i cant find an application that could fit with my preferences on that site. Anyway thanks for reminding me about the site, im now reading some discussions there about c++ programs.
