| AceHTML v5.06.2 | |
 |
(W9x/ME/2000/NT4/XP) |
| Freeware - new version | |
Location on CD: software/windows/building/ace_html/ | |
Although you maintain absolute control over the code and its formatting in your document, AceHTML helps out by automating many of the time consuming or awkward tasks involved in site development. For example, the often tiresome job of creating tables is made very simple with a tool that lets you draw out the table and quickly define attributes such as cell widths, borders, padding, colours and so forth. Framed sites are also easy to construct.
Because the package automates small, specific tasks (insert an image, create a form, etc.) rather than the whole page design process, you don't need to worry about it producing overly complex and cumbersome code. The software does exactly what a good developer would do, only quicker.
The software features built in libraries of ASP, PHP and WML commands which can be inserted automatically into your pages. There are over 175 built-in DHTML and JavaScript samples. AceHTML supports XML and includes a Style Sheet editor for CSS2.
