What’s New in The HTML Editor 2009

With tons of great new features, improvements, graphics, themes, and tweaks, we decided this program is worthy of the name CoffeeCup HTML Editor 2009.

It makes coding HTML and CSS faster, manages your Website structure, comes with beautiful graphics and themes, and makes us jump for joy!

Major Improvements in HTML Editor 2009

Website Management

Group your files into Website Projects for easier management. You can keep things organized, check document dependencies, upload your changes with just one click, and more.

  • Upload an Entire Website Project - Upload all the files in your project at once with just one click. The HTML Editor preserves the file structure, ensuring your files are referenced correctly.
  • Document Dependency Check - With projects, you can have the HTML Editor automatically check your pages for dependencies like images, external JavaScript, CSS files, and anything else you need to make your pages show up correctly online.
  • Simplified File Management - Easily add files and folders to your Website Projects from the My Computer tab.
HTML & CSS Code Completion

Save time and keystrokes with the HTML Editor\'s intuitive code completion feature. Just start typing any HTML tag or CSS property, and the Editor not only gives you a list of matches, but also properly closes the tag for you. This is guaranteed to make coding by hand easier than ever!

Quick Tag Help

Now you can get help with HTML tags right in the statusbar. When working on a tag anywhere in your document, the HTML Editor will automatically show you valid usage and syntax information.

Need to refresh your memory? Just click the Tags tab on the left to view lists of the most commonly used (X)HTML, CSS, and PHP tags.

Quick Start From Layout

Choose from 40 bulletproof CSS/XHTML layouts. We’ve never seen a quicker way to get the framework of your new Website in place. (And believe us, we’ve seen a lot...)

These 100% valid CSS and XHTML layouts are a sure way to get your Website started with a solid foundation. They are easy to modify and expand on, too. In fact, if you want to change your layout, you can just swap the style sheet from another layout and voila — done!

All New Graphics Collections

Just look at them, and you will be amazed. There are icons for every use: shopping carts, toolbar buttons, blog icons, and everything else we thought was cool.

Optimized Resource Browser - Access Website Projects, files on your computer, CSS, (X)HTML, and PHP tags, code snippets, and HTML character entities, all from the same convenient location!
Cleaner, Valid Markup - We’ve spent a lot of time going through all the helpers, dialogs, and wizards to make them all insert nothing but clean, valid HTML code. You can also use the built-in validation tool to check your code with the W3C. Spend more time coding and less time cleaning up!
