PageSpinner is an HTML Editor for MacOS. It supports HTML 2.0, most parts of HTML 3.2 plus additional Netscape extensions and is useful for both the beginner and the more advanced web author.
The editor gives you quick access to often used formatting and also supports interactive help with AppleGuide and an HTML Assistant to help you compose your own Web pages.
PageSpinner also includes support for the latest Web technologies such as: Embedded Objects, Java and JavaScript, Autoload of HTML files, Form File Upload...
New color picker that let you choose a color from a "Web-safe" 216 colors palette that is used by the major browsers. You can also pick up a color from a picture in the clipboard. Note: To get the correct color values using the color picker you'll need to set the monitor to display 256 or millions colors, using thousands of colors does not seem to give the correct color values.
If you find the preset colors in the Text color menu dull: it is now possible to change the colors in the Color menu. Press the Option key when selecting a color name in the menu to define a new color value. It is not possible to change the name or the color displayed in the menu though.
Support added for the Internet Explorer's scrolling text Marquee tag in HTML Assistant's Text Format topic.
PageSpinner should now support editing of text objects in Frontier. When you save changes in PageSpinner, the text in Frontier is updated and the Frontier database is saved. Press the Option key when selecting UserLand Frontier in the Web Tools menu to find out more about this. Thanks to Tim Paustian for help with implementing Frontier support.
Please note that PageSpinner's Frontier support has not been thoroughly tested, so there may be some non-discovered bugs left.
Added an example on how to create clickable client-side image maps in the "Examples : Miscellaneous Examples" folder.
Added GraphicConverter to the Web Tools Menu. GraphicConverter can, among other things, be useful when creating client-side image maps in PageSpinner (if you find it useful remember to pay the shareware fee). Press the Option key when selecting GraphicConverter in the Web Tools menu to find out more about this.
Added the table cell height attribute in the Table menu.
Added the NOSCRIPT tag in the Java/JavaScript menu. Text within this tag will only be displayed in browsers that doesn't support JavaScript.
New "Spun with PageSpinner" button added in the Documentation folder, thanks to Jacob Abrams.
The implementation of JScript in Internet Explorer 3.0 for Windows is not fully compatible with Netscape's implementation of JavaScript. The JavaScript examples "Random Link Example" and "Todays Link Example" gives an error message when viewed in Explorer, so a dynamic JavaScript has been added in the "Random Link Example" that works around this problem.
