whoa...I have been waiting for a new release for some time and it appears my patience has paid off in spades!

Well done guys and gals...to paraphrase a TV commercial..."The Best just got better"!

@Phil

Isn't that always the question..."will it work with the "new" windows"? :(

HI Scott,

I downloaded the link to preview the new editor and I deleted the older version from my computer per the instructions.. Is this new editor an upgrade or a completely new program. Now I have the trial version for 28 days unless I purchase it... Will I have to purchase the program. I no longer have the previous version on my computer... Just a bit confused..

TY

I believe the way they did this with VSD and SCC was the preview did show like that. But when the final version came out, it knew that you were a registered user when it got installed. Shouldn't be any problems, these guys at CC are top notch at making this easy on us (when it can be helped).
Living the dream, stocking the cream :D

Scott is there a way to make a back ground picture
be fixed in all browsers???

Billy,

Here is another method of keeping a background picture fixed:
background-image: url('/background.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center center;


This is CSS, and can be set to whatever section of your code you want to have a fixed background.

Hello Scott,

I am excited about the new features and am looking forward to using them when they are available..one feature I would like to ask about is will there be a feature to "copy" repeat content to all pages of a website? ex. have a website with 2000 pages and I need to add a Google ad word box to all pages...will there be a feature to do so with out having to add the Google ad box to each page individually.

Sincerely,
Daryl J.

Daryl,

You will need to add some code to each page, but you can create a small file with just the Google ad box code. Then depending on your hosting package, you can insert the ad box code with a single line of code.

As an example, I use Google Analytics, and put a single line of code on all my pages. That line of code also includes my copyright statement, bottom menu and a link to my sitemap. Since my host provides PHP, my footer code is:
<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/incl/footer.php"); ?> You can do something similar with a Windows server host.

I've yet to try the new version but I do have one query.

A few months back you mentioned that the Website Colour Schemer would no longer be supported because it's not actually made by CC. Is this still the case and does this mean that HTML 2009 will not include it?

If not is it possible to either transfer the old WCS files (where ever they may be) and install them into the new version myself or can it be purchased from the company that made it.

Also Douwe de Jong asked about the EURO symbol still missing. If he opens up the Coffee Cup folder on the C drive and looks for a file called 'specchar.dat'
Open that with Notepad and look for the currency references near the top and then insert this piece of code into it

"euro", "€", "&#x00A5;", "&#8364;", "HTML 3.2", "euro sign"

Close and save it.

Fire up CC and then the Characters tab and you'll see it listed.

This may be a newb Q - forgive if it is. Rather than uninstalling my production version, can I install the pre-release into a new directory and have it work, or does it share reg keys with the curent version?

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
