Allow us to set a database filename to search also. We want to search an already functional SQL Database, but not proficient enough in PHP to build a user search on the web page.

Here is a couple of suggestion:

The first suggestion would be to have the background behind the search field and button transparent.

I am putting together a site and would like to put the search field/button over a gradient background image. With a transparent background I would not have to match/align the existing gradient background image.

The second suggestion would be a PHP search without the flash.

Thanks for a great program.

just a small note. I am using 5.0, but it might be old, not sure. Haven't used it for years, but I am working on a site now and fired up the program....

I noticed a few old items on the help pages at F1
* About CoffeeCup has a couple of old links that don't work at the bottom of the page..
CoffeeCup Fact:
In 2003 Scott Swedorski joined the CoffeeCup team. At this point we are not even sure if you are reading this material so if you are, email scott and let him know ;)
--and--
* on the F1 contact us page, has an old address....
* the notice of copyright page has a link ( http://www.coffeecup.com/legal/privacy.html ) The link is correct, but when you click it, it doesn't work.
* software privacy page has old address

I may have a few suggestions after I get done with this website.. but thought I would make a note about this before I forget..

i came up with something..
a "Reset to Defaults" button for the "Build Search" UI.

If you delete file extensions from the "Allowed File Extensions" , they seem to be gone-gone, even when reopening the program or using the "New" button to create a new search. My family site www.beallgroup.net made with CoffeeCup html editor.

lol, It seems I am running into issues here.. The program won't scan the site at all now..
Maybe it needs a master reset function, because it did work once..

then I started to fine tune it and now it does nothing.. says the site has been scanned, but it hasn't done anything.

I suppose i will uninstall the program and then re-install it to reset all the settings. My family site www.beallgroup.net made with CoffeeCup html editor.
