HTML View

Each web page you open in PageWiz is opened and edited using the PageWiz editor. Usually editors are only given brief consideration by users because by all outward appearances they look the same. The PageWiz editor is deceptively powerful.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks are a quick and simple way of marking certain places within your web page. Being able to jump from one place to another in your web page significantly speeds the editing process.

Advanced HTML help and Syntax Validation

If you hold your mouse over a tag or attribute, popup help appears giving you a short description of the tag or attribute. For example, if you hold the mouse over the BORDERCOLORLIGHT attribute in the TABLE tag, a popup message appears saying “Sets brighter border color used to draw a 3-D border”

If you make any syntax errors while you are typing PageWiz will notify you immediately. Furthermore, most times PageWiz can recognize what the error is and will tell you what part of your tag is incorrect. In any event, PageWiz will offer you help describing the full HTML specification of the tag. You can also define which syntax files you use to check your work. For example, to be on the safe side, you might only use the HTML 3.2 syntax file. This means that any tags or attributes that you type which don’t form part of this specification will be highlighted in red.

The correct value for this attribute is MIDDLE.

These sorts of errors can be avoided by using the HTML Property Sheet.

Tag Coloring

Changing the color of tags helps you pick out the information you need to find from a jumble of HTML. It is particularly useful when you are trying to study other people’s HTML. For example, if you are interested in Image tags, then color them green. This way they stand out against all the clutter of surrounding tags.

Follow links from within a web page

When editing HTML web pages we thought how useful it would be to be able to open web pages referenced from inside your current web page. In a currently opened web page, right click on a link to another web page and select “Open File” to open it.
