Alternative Text Description

This field allows you to provide an alternative description for this element, which can be displayed with non-visual browsers. Alternative text descriptions serve as content when the elements on your document cannot be rendered normally. This makes your web page more accessible.

 Accessibility Information


Access Key

This drop-down list allows you to assign an access key to this element in your web page. Assigning access keys to the elements in your document allows viewers to navigate your web pages simply by pressing the access keys you have specified. This makes your web page more accessible.

An access key is a single character from the document character set. When assigning access keys, make sure to consider the likely input method of your viewers. When your viewer presses an access key you have assigned to an element then focus will be given to that element.

 Accessibility Information


Tab Index

Clicking the up or down buttons allows you to assign a tab index to this element in your web page. Assigning tab indices to the elements in your document allows viewers to navigate your web pages by tabbing. This makes your web page more accessible.

The Tab Index must be a number between 0 and 32767. Navigation proceeds from the element with the lowest tab index value to the element with the highest value. Therefore, the tab index you provide will indicate the position of the element in the tabbing order. The tabbing order may include elements nested within other elements.

Sometimes, rather than linking to a document, an author may want to embed it directly into a primary HTML document. Embedding allows documents of different types to be inserted into your web page. Embedded items are used to allow viewers to either download or access files from your web page.

The Embed Item dialog is used to provide links to non-standard files. For example, some browsers can display word files. The embed tag could them be used to provide a link to a word file, the size parameters would be used to define the size of the window in the browser that displays the word document. In particular Netscape makes use of the embed tag to embed audio and video controls within a web page.


Embedded Item

Use this drop-down list to select the item that you wish to embed into your document.

Click this button to browse for the location of the file.


Width

Enter the width that you wish to be displayed for the embedded item. The value may be either an integer (interpreted as a number of pixels) or a percentage of the horizontal space.

For example, the value 50% means half the available space while 50 means 50 pixels.


Height

Enter the height that you wish to be displayed for the embedded item. The value may be either an integer (interpreted as a number of pixels) or a percentage of the vertical space.

For example, the value 50% means half the available space while 50 means 50 pixels.

A style is an instruction sheet for the browser, telling it how to render HTML tags.

There are three ways you can use styles in HotDog: using external style sheets, document style definitions and inline styles. Inline style definitions store the style information in the tag to which it applies - it will affect no other tags. External style sheets store all the style information in a separate file - that is linked to by each web page. Document style definitions store the style information in its entirety at the top of each web page.

If you are new to styles, try using the Format Font and Format Paragraph dialogs (on the Format menu, click on “Font” or “Paragraph” respectively) until you are familiar with the syntax.


Only applies to style sheet files:


Link Document(s)/Website
Link Document(s)/Website to selected Style Sheet

Choosing this option allows you to link the selected style sheet to your HTML documents. Your web pages will then be automatically formatted in the specified styles.


Insert Style into Document
Insert Style Contents into Document

Choosing this option inserts the style definitions of the selected style sheet at the top of your document. The specified web pages will then be formatted in the selected styles.

Unlike linked style sheets, a document wide style definition resides within the document that it affects.


Insert as Inline Style

Choosing this option allows you to insert the selected style definition into a DIV or SPAN Tag. Inline style definitions apply only to the tag in which they are defined.


Insert as Style Definition Document Wide

Choosing this option inserts the style definition of the selected style sheet at the top of your document. The specified web pages will then be formatted in the selected style.

Unlike linked style sheets, a document wide style definition resides within the document that it affects.


Insert Style Information into DIV Tag

Choosing this option inserts the style definitions of the selected style sheet into a DIV tag.


Insert Style Information into SPAN Tag

Choosing this option inserts the style definitions of the selected style sheet into a SPAN tag.


Documents to be Linked

Use the drop down list box to specify which HTML documents should be linked to the style sheet:

Currently Selected HTML Document.

Selecting this option will link your style sheet to the currently opened and selected HTML document.

All Opened HTML Documents.

Selecting this option will link your style sheet to all currently opened HTML documents.

All Documents In A Website.

Selecting this option will link your style sheet to all the documents in the currently opened website.

All Documents In A Directory.

Selecting this option will link your style sheet to all the documents in a directory. If you select this option you will be prompted to specify a directory on your computer containing all the HTML documents you want link to the style sheet.

Click this button to browse for the location of the directory.

Paragraphs are blocks of text. They can be simple paragraphs as defined by the <P>…</P> tags or headings as defined by the <H1>…</H1> - <H6>…</H6> tags.

By default, the details of your paragraph style will be inserted within an opening paragraph tag <P>. A close tag </P> will automatically be placed after any text that you have selected.  If you wish to use different tags then in the [Format Paragraph] dialog select [Paragraph Tag] and, in the list and in the [Paragraph Style] drop-down list, select the tag of your choice.

Tip: Occasionally you may wish to change a paragraph style that you have already defined for a set of tags. Instead of selecting all the blocks of text within the tags that you wish to format, just select the entire opening tag.  For example if your paragraph is within H1 tags then you would select <H1 STYLE="……..">. Then just go to the Format menu and select “Paragraph” as usual.

Clicking this button allows you to create a new font list.


Font Size

This drop-down list is used to select the font size that you wish to use. Selecting Enter Number at the end of the list allows you specify your own font size.


Vertical Alignment

This drop-down list is used to specify the vertical positioning of the selected font.

baseline

Selecting this option aligns the baseline/bottom of the text with the baseline of the line.

sub

Selecting this option inserts the text as a subscript (a subscript is a character appearing immediately below and to the right or left of another character).

super

Selecting this option inserts the text as a superscript (a superscript is a character appearing immediately above and to the right or left of another character).

top

Selecting this option aligns the top of the font with the tallest element on the line.

text-top

Selecting this option aligns the top of the element with the top of the parent element's font

bottom

Selecting this option aligns the top of the font with the lowest element on the line

text-bottom

Selecting this option aligns the bottom of the element with the bottom of the parent element's font

Selecting Enter Number at the end of the list allows you specify your own degree of vertical alignment. Percentage values refer to the value of the 'line-height' property of the font itself. They raise the baseline/bottom of the font the specified amount above the baseline of the paragraph line. Negative values are possible. For example, a  value of -100% will lower the element so that the baseline of the font ends up where the baseline of the next line should have been.


Weight

This drop-down list is used to select the weight of the font. The values 100 to 900 form an ordered sequence of darkness, where each number indicates a weight that is at least as dark as its predecessor.

normal

Selecting this option is synonymous with selecting a weight of 400.

bold

Selecting this option is synonymous with selecting a weight of 700.

bolder

Selecting this option specifies the next weight that is assigned to a font that is darker than the inherited one. If there is no such weight, it simply results in the next darker numerical value (and the font remains unchanged), unless the inherited value is 900, in which case the resulting weight is also 900.

lighter

Selecting this option specifies the next weight that is assigned to a font that is lighter than the inherited one. If there is no such weight, it simply results in the next lighter numerical value (and the font remains unchanged), unless the inherited value is 100, in which case the resulting weight is also 100.

Note: There is no guarantee that there will be a darker face for each of the 'font-weight' values; for example, some fonts may have only a normal and a bold face, others may have eight different face weights. The only guarantee is that a face of a given value will be no less dark than the faces of lighter values.


Style

This drop-down list is used to specify one of the normal, italic and oblique faces within a font family.

A value of 'normal' selects a font that is classified as 'normal' in the web browser’s font database, while 'oblique' selects a font that is labeled 'oblique'. A value of 'italic' selects a font that is labeled 'italic', or, if that is not available, one labeled 'oblique'.

Normal fonts styles are sometimes referred to as Roman or Upright. The font that is labeled 'oblique' in the web browser’s font database may actually have been generated by electronically slanting a normal font. Fonts with Oblique, Slanted or Incline in their names will typically be labeled 'oblique' in the web browser’s font database. Fonts with Italic, Cursive or Kursiv in their names will typically be labeled 'italic'.


Letter Spacing

This drop-down list is used to specify additional spacing to the default space between characters. The web browser is free to select the exact spacing algorithm. The letter spacing may also be affected by justification (a value of the 'align' property).


Word Spacing

This drop-down list is used to specify additional spacing to the default space between words. The web browser is free to select the exact spacing algorithm. The letter spacing may also be affected by justification (a value of the 'align' property).

Form Title

This field is used to enter a name for the form. Using this option may be particularly useful for non-visual web browsers.

 Accessibility Information


Send all Form Details to an Email Address

Selecting this option specifies that completed form details are to be sent to an email address.

Note that this option is not supported by all browsers. Non-supporting browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x typically will open a blank e-mail message when the user submits a mailto form. Even on supporting browsers, mailto forms are troublesome in that they fail to provide feedback to the user after the form submission.


Send form Details to a URL

Selecting this option specifies that completed form details are to be sent to a URL.. This is done using the ACTION attribute. ACTION usually points to a CGI script or Java servlet that handles the form submission.

There are free CGI scripts for handling forms that can be found by pointing your browser to:

http://www.cgi-resources.com/Programs_and_Scripts/

There are also CGI scripts that are remotely hosted for authors whose providers refuse to allow CGI scripts to be run locally:

http://www.cgi-resources.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Remotely_Hosted/Form_Processing/


Email Address

Use this field to enter the email address to which all completed form details are to be sent.


Format (METHOD Type)

This drop-down list is used to specify the HTTP method used to send the form to the web browser.

get (default)

Selecting this option submits the form input as a HTTP GET request with ?form_data appended to the URL specified in the ACTION attribute.

Using the get method allows the form submission to be contained completely in a URL. This can be advantageous in that it permits bookmarking in current browsers, but it also prevents form data from containing non-ASCII characters such as "é" and "©".  The amount of form data that can be handled by the get method is limited by the maximum length of the URL that the server and browser can process.

Any form whose input might contain non-ASCII characters or more than 100 characters should use the post method.

post

Selecting this option includes the form data set in the body of the form when sending to the web browser.

With a METHOD value of post, the form input is submitted as a HTTP POST request with the form data sent in the body of the request. Most current browsers are unable to bookmark POST requests, but POST does not entail the character encoding and length restrictions imposed by GET.


URL to Send Action to (ACTION)

Use this field to enter the URL to which all completed form details are to be sent.


Choose Data Type (ENCTYPE)

This field is used to specify the content type used in submitting the form.

The default for this attribute is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. This content type results in name/value pairs sent to the server as name1=value1&name2=value2... with space characters replaced by "+" and reserved characters (like "#") replaced by "%HH" where HH is the ASCII code of the character in hexadecimal. Line breaks are encoded as "%0D%0A"--a carriage return followed by a line feed.

Authors should generally only use a different ENCTYPE when the form includes a TYPE=file INPUT element, in which case the ENCTYPE should be multipart/form-data and the METHOD must be post. The format of multipart/form-data requests is given in RFC 1867:

http://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1867.txt

Click this button to browse for the location of the image file.


Image Height
Height

Use this field to specify the height of the image.

Specifying the exact dimensions of the image in pixels allows image-loading browsers to reserve the proper amount of space for the image and continue to render the rest of the document, thus giving the appearance of a faster-loading page. Unfortunately, many graphical browsers will use these dimensions when not loading images, which can cause the image text description to be cut off if the image is small or the text description is large. In such cases, you may wish to leave off the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes, depending on the importance of the text description and the placement of the image on the page (an image towards the end of the document without WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes will generally not noticeably slow the rendering of the page).

You can also specify a different dimension, in which case web browsers should scale the image. Percentages, relative to the horizontal or vertical space available (not relative to the image's natural size) can also be specified, though these are not as widely supported as pixel lengths. Since browsers typically do a poor job of scaling images, you should avoid using WIDTH and HEIGHT for this purpose as much as possible.

Effective alternate text should generally give the function of the image rather than a description of the image. Also, do not specify meaningless or irrelevant alternate text. Not only will this frustrate users, it will slow down web browsers that must convert text to speech or braille output. Good alternate text is crucial to the document's accessibility for the significant portion of users who do not load images.

 Accessibility Information


URL to Description of Image

This field can be used to provide the location of a long description of the image.

This attribute should be used to provide a long description of an image where this would be useful. For example, a painting, graph, or corporate logo could be given a description so that visually impaired and other text-only users can develop a mental picture of the image.

 Accessibility Information


Alignment

Use this field to specify the alignment of the image with respect to its context.

Left

Selecting this option causes the image to float to the current left with content flowing around it.

Right

Selecting this option causes the image to float to the current right margin with content flowing around it.

Top, Texttop

Selecting this option aligns the top of the image with the top of the current text line.

Middle

The effect of this option depends on the web browser. For example, with Netscape this option aligns the baseline/bottom of the image with the baseline of the current text line. With Internet Explorer 3 this option aligns the center of the image with the absolute middle of the text.

Absmiddle

Selecting this option aligns the center of the image with the absolute middle of the text. The absolute middle of the text is the midpoint between the absolute top and bottom (i.e., the top and the bottom of the envelope around the text) of the text.

Baseline, Bottom

Selecting this option aligns the baseline/bottom of the image with the baseline of the current text line. This is the default alignment.

Absbottom

Selecting this option aligns the bottom of the image with the absolute bottom of the text. The bottom of the envelope surrounding the text is aligned with the bottom of the image.

Note that web browsers vary in their interpretation of the align attribute. Some only take into account what has occurred on the text line prior to the element, whilst some take into account the text on both sides of the element.


Border Width

This field can be used to specify the width of the image border, in pixels. The default value for this attribute depends on the web browser. Specifying BORDER=0 will eliminate the border around a linked image in most browsers, though some allow the user to override this. Authors should only use BORDER=0 if the image would be clearly recognizable as a link, or as a method of de-emphasizing a link.


Horizontal Distance

This field can be used specify the number of pixels of white space to be inserted to the left and right of the image. No default value is specified, but is generally a small, non-zero length.


Vertical Distance

This field can be used specify the number of pixels of white space to be inserted above and below the image. No default value is specified, but is generally a small, non-zero length.

[SuperToolz][ImageLab][Graphic Format][JPEG]


Progressive Encoding

Selecting this option creates a progressively encoded version of the current image.

There are two different types of jpeg-files. The default type is formatted using standard encoding. This default type can be rendered by most web browsers. Images formatted using progressive encoding are only recognized by later browser versions.

When web browsers decode a progressively coded image, a low-resolution version of the original image is made available first with subsequent doublings of resolution as more data is decoded. Progressive encoding makes it easier for a viewer to quickly recognize the image as it is being built up, which in turn allows the user to interrupt the transmission of the image if desired.

	Click this button to apply the changes to your current image.


Grayscale

Selecting this option removes the colors from the current image and replaces each color with a grey matching its luminance value. The result is an 8-bit greyscale image with a palette containing 256 shades of grey.


Compression Level

Use this slider to set the level of compression used on your JPEG image. If you use full compression your image noticeably degrades. So, as you increase the compression, keep an eye on the image file size and image preview. This will allow you to gauge the optimal image quality against the image file size.

Image Width
Width

Use this field to specify the width of the image.

Specifying the exact dimensions of the image in pixels allows image-loading browsers to reserve the proper amount of space for the image and continue to render the rest of the document, thus giving the appearance of a faster-loading page. Unfortunately, many graphical browsers will use these dimensions when not loading images, which can cause the image text description to be cut off if the image is small or the text description is large. In such cases, you may wish to leave off the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes, depending on the importance of the text description and the placement of the image on the page (an image towards the end of the document without WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes will generally not noticeably slow the rendering of the page).

You can also specify a different dimension, in which case web browsers should scale the image. Percentages, relative to the horizontal or vertical space available (not relative to the image's natural size) can also be specified, though these are not as widely supported as pixel lengths. Since browsers typically do a poor job of scaling images, you should avoid using WIDTH and HEIGHT for this purpose as much as possible.

Insert with <PRE> Tags

Selecting this option inserts the text into your document between <PRE>….</PRE> tags.

The PRE element tells visual web browsers that the enclosed text is "preformatted". Visual browsers should render preformatted text in a fixed-pitch font, should not collapse whitespace, and should not wrap long lines. PRE tags are useful for formatting computer code or poetry where white space is important, but since preformatted text is inherently visual, you should avoid dependence on it wherever possible. Non-visual user agents are not required to respect extra white space in the content of a PRE element.


Convert Text to HTML

Selecting this option allows you to insert the text into your document as HTML.


End Each Line With <BR>

Ticking this option inserts the text into your document with a <BR> tag at the end of each line. This creates a line break in the HTML document where it would have appeared in the text document.

For example, there are some web pages you may not want indexed by search engines - such as those which are inside frames. Setting the distribution method in these pages to “Local” will stop them from being indexed by search engines.


Use Name Instead of HTTP-EQUIV

Meta-information can be used to pass extra information to browsers. For example:

<META http-equiv="Version_Number" CONTENT="2.02">

<META http-equiv="Style" CONTENT="Modern">

<META name="Completed" CONTENT="Yes">

If a browser requests the Header information of this document, all the http-equiv results are returned while the name values are not. For example, a HTTP response to a GET or HEAD request for the document above would be:

Version_Number:2.02

Style:Modern

Along with all the other information in the header such as date and time.

Names such as Date, Server and Last-modified are names that should not be used as they are typically generated by the server independently.

For example, say the you defined the following definitions:

H1 {color : red; font-size=”small”}

H1.Green {color: green;}

The following code would produce small red text:

<H1> My Heading </H1>

The following code would produce small green text:

A:VISITED {color :orange;}	Specifies a previously visited link to be large and yellow.
A:HOVER {color : green;}	The link turns green when the mouse is held over it.
P:FIRST-LINE {color : red;}	Specifies the first line of the paragraph to be red.
P:FIRST-LETTER {color : blue}	Specifies the first letter of paragraph to be blue.

I {color : green;}

B {color : yellow;}

B I {color : red;}

<I>This text is green</I><B> this text is yellow <I> this text is red </I> yellow text </B>
