- Web Design History - December 8, 1997
- ************************************
-
-
- This is not complete but it will give you some hints.
-
-
- READ THE GUIDE if you want access to the many helpful
- things Web Design can do for you. I do not have time
- to update the guide for this version but it is about
- the same except you do not select a screen size any more.
-
- v1.8 (v2.0beta)
-
- Web Design has a resizable screen that auto detects your
- Workbench prefs. Almost. I am still working on the resizable
- buttons. This has already helped some people that were
- having screen mode problems with gfx cards etc.
-
- I have added a DELETE in the misc pulldown that probably
- will end up in the project menu so the guide does not
- reflect this change. This allows you to get rid of files
- you do not want to keep while you are in Web Design.
- I was always forgetting to delete files and then Patrick
- suggested a delete function so there it is.
-
- See the Web Design.readme file for more info about the
- new changes. Christian Effenberger has released a CD
- with many new tricks for CanDo and if you use CanDo
- you need this now! Contact Christian at the address below.
-
- YouCan@A2.amclust.de
-
- v1.7j
-
- More work on ImageMap editor. JPG's don't work very well.
-
-
- v1.7i
-
- Improved ImageMap editor.
- More work on Save SaveAs OverWrite options.
-
-
- v1.7h
-
- Fixed the Ibrowse LOAD bug that appeared in v17.g.
-
-
- v1.7g
-
- More bug fixes.
-
- v1.7e
-
- Fixed the cirle bug in imagemap.
- Messes with safty features.
-
-
- v1.7d
-
- Added support for client side image maps. (READ THE GUIDE)
-
- v1.7c
-
- Insert should now have a memory like Load already has.
-
- Cut and Paste may be a little faster.
-
- v1.7b
-
- Fixed the crash that happened if you tried to type in the
- Document selection box.
-
-
- v1.7-v1.7a
-
- This version comes in two flavors one with the cando.library
- and one without. This way if you already have the library
- you can download the smaller file.
-
- Many bug fixes.
-
- v1.6z
-
- I hope.
-
-
- v1.6yy
-
- Why you...!!
-
-
- v1.6y
-
- What the...?
-
-
- v1.6x
-
- More bug fixes and more work on the multidoc function.
- It actually was working until I compiled the program?
- But it wasn't totally set up anyway but you can look at
- the screen.
-
-
- v1.6w
-
- Fixed the big crash bug of 1.6u and 1.6v. What a dope!
-
- v1.6v
-
- Battle of the bugs continues but it seems as if we don't
- need to worry about the bad bugs byte for now. It seems.
-
- A new 'Project' menu function lets you select to return
- to the home directory that was selected in 'Go Configure'.
- I needed this while testing so I left it in just in case
- someone else might be able to use it.
-
- There are some file formats Web Design has a problem with
- and I send them to 'Ed' to reformat them. If you jump to
- 'Ed' just 'Save' the file in 'Ed' and 'Quit' 'Ed'. You
- can do this in 'Ed's' pulldown menu or just do this key
- combination:
-
- 1. Press Esc
- 2. Press x
- 3. Press RETURN
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-
- This version hopfully will fix a problem a few people

- the "Go Configure" screen or when selecting the screen
- resolution from the "Go Configure" screen.
- Oh please please please let it be fixed as I can not
- get the error myself which makes it difficult to fix.
- This may even fix a problem a couple of people have had
- in the past that was similar.
-
- v1.6e
-
- Cleaned up a few things.
-
- If you are using Voyager or AWeb II for preview
- you may want to use the Load Preview Browser button
- on the Go Config screen to have them up and running
- and display your first preview.
-
- v1.6d
-
- With HappyDT installed you can have images sizes
- auto added to your docs.
- (Aminet util/cdity HappyDT.lha)
- Watch for the new version that is shareware with
- added features.

- v1.6
-
- This version uses courier/11 and courier/13 font
- so you need to have this in your fonts directory.
- Unless you deleted this font it is already there
- and if you have just copy from your original
- disks.
-
- I fixed some more stuff.
-

- into the Full and Local URL links. This will be
- helpful when working with frames. This command already
- existed in the frames menu but had a bug.(see guide)
-
- Added a new Screen pull down menu for quick access
- to the Go Configure and Workbench screens.
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Bug fix: v1.5b
-
- Fixed the new BGSound/EMBED bug I created in v1.5.
-
- Also added a requester for the Template button so
- unwanted templates aren't created when you miss the
- Preview button.
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- New in v1.5
-
- Replaces background images without the need to delete
- the previous image.
-
- Replace images without the need to delete the previous
- image manually.(see the guide for instuctions)
-
- When working with images/backgrounds it is now possible
- load an image from an outside directory and auto copy
- the gfx to the current directory.
-
- Add background colors to a complete table as well as
- individual colors for each header <TH> or data <TD>.
- (see guide for instructions)
-
- Insert mailto and http tags around existing text in a
- document. Choose whether to use the address as the
- hypertext or enter text.(see guide for instuctions)
-
- Fixed the text entry for colors so it works correctly.
-
- Fixed Insert, Inserthtml, Inserthtm so they don't cause
- Web Design to forget what file you are working with.
-
- Fixed path so it uses the information you enter on the
- GoConfig screen. (dah)
-
- Did some other stuff I can't remember right now.
-
- Please please please read the Key Commands info as well
- as all the other docs if you want to get the most out of
- Web Design. If you don't read the instruction some features
- will not work.
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Previously
-
- v1.4 allows the user to preview document changes
- by clicking the new preview button. The Go Configure
- screen allows the user to select the path for the
- browser or browsers that are used for previewing.
- The path to where docs and images etc is also set
- on this screen. Settings are saved if they are used.
-
- I have found Ibrowse 1.1 works best at this time for
- preview but AWeb and Voyager can also be used.
-
- I have found that AWeb works best if loaded at the
- Go Configure screen or it doesn't show your document
- the first time preview is used. After going back to
- Web Design and doing preview a second time AWeb loads
- the changes each time. I have tried many ways around
- this problem but haven't found the answer yet.
-
- Both Ibrowse and AWeb auto reload so the new changes
- are shown but I couldn't get Voyager to reload so you
- will need to click the Reload button in Voyager to see
- the new changes.
-
- F6 does the same thing the preview button does and
- F7 takes you back to the Web Design screen. Sometimes
- this doesn't work the first time the browser is loaded.
-
- I have Ibrowse and AWeb screens shrunk down so I can
- access the screens I have them on making it is easy to
- click between screens while Voyager works for me without
- doing this. If all else fails RIGHT and LEFT AMIGA keys
- plus m will get you back to Web Design.
-
- You are free to try new ideas without overwriting the
- current version of your document because the preview
- is a separate file and does not change the current version
- of your document until you actually Save the changes.
- This is the reason for the doc path config.
- I recommend using SaveAs because sometimes preview causes
- Web Design to forget what file you are working with but
- SaveAs keeps track of things.
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- It is now easier to make changes to font color and
- size. It is no longer necesary to delete previous
- settings. This also is true with BODY settings for
- text colors and background color.
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Watch for updates and helpful hints on my home page.
-
- http://www.net-link.net/~lmcgahey/
-

- and link to my site with the icon.
