I'm weaning off of Dreamweaver. This is probably obvious....but. Would like to know if there is a way to cascade/tile multiple pages while editing code. Additionally, is there way to link the .css files with the html without opening the file?

Styrax,

I have never used Dreamweaver, which may explain why I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish?

What do you mean by cascade/tile multiple pages?

To link a CSS file to your page, you need to insert a link code into the page file. That code will belong in the head section of your code and will look like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mysite.css" type="text/css">

Hi
I'd like to know if the HMTL editor has the ability to leave two files open side by side (either one on top of the other/side by side - tiled or both open within in the editor behind each other (similar to the way the VSD program works for pages with a site) for edit.

Also, when you have html/php etc files open for editing, can you link the files together in the HMTL editor and have the associated files open automatically (css, scripts, ect). I have found that you create a project tab for each site and it lists all the sites assets, but you have to use the tabs to open each one individually, and as far as I can see; only has one displayed for edit, rather than opened as a unit.

Styrax,

Now I understand about the cascading/tile question. That is a feature that is not available, but others have asked for it. Since CoffeeCup is responsive to what we ask for in a program, you can expect the feature to show up sometime in the future.

The new HTML Editor 2008 can be set to open all the files you had open when you closed it last. If that does not work for your needs, maybe you could write a batch file to open several files at once. I can see the benefit of clicking on a project and having all the project files open (assuming only a few pages on the site - I wouldn't want to be opening 200+ pages with one click). I will post a message to the programmers with this suggestion.

Thanks for letting the developers know about a potential enhancement. Eeek -- a 200 page site at one click --
Thanks again!

Up to now I have used third party web development software, but I use so many other Coffee Cup products that I thought I ought to try HTML Editor, which I have owned for years. I usually build External Style Sheets which support many pages on my site, and I am used to having a CSS task pane visible (or on demand) on my workspace. Am I missing something, or does HTML Editor not have that facility?

In the HTML Editor click on the "Code" tab. Then select 2 or 3 at the top of that pane.

Hi Eric, thanks for the quick response. I obviously didn't explain myself properly. In Expression Web I can select a style sheet in either code or split view,for example <div id="cottage_banner"><h1>hobbs point cottage</h1></div>, and the content of that style will appear in the side bar, where I can change it, and immediately see the effect of the change to my page. I realise that I can toggle between the page and the stylesheet linked to the page in HTML Editor, and that I can do what you suggest to help me as I write the code, but I still cannot see how to do what I have explained above

Hey Brian,

All I do is open my css file in a new tab... You can view the changes live by pressing F11. Make some changes and watch your page update.

Thanks Steve
