this sounds wonderful.
When is the mac version going to be available?

Unfortunately, at this time we do not support the OSX format. We are planning to release Macintosh versions of our software in the future, but at the moment our software is only available for Windows XP or Vista-based systems. This also includes, however, Intel-based Macintosh platforms using Parallels, or VMware to run XP or Vista.

Whilst looking forward to all the new items with great anticipation I note you recommend removing the previous version.

Is there any possible conflicts installing in a different location to keep the previous version useable for a while? Or would it be better to re-install the previous version elsewhere and install this in the default location?

Thanks


In *theory* it should work, but I would not really recommend it. We install a few DLL's on the computer and they can only work with the newer version of the editor. This would then cause problems with the previous version.

All previous versions of HTML Editor had to be installed with full administrator privileges. After installation the code editor could be run as a Power User ("Standard" Windows Vista/7 User), but, the visual editor had to be run from an Administrator level account. Alternately, one had to right-click and Run As an Administrator (with a password), to use both editors.

Will this be changed in the new release, so that the program can both be installed and run from a "Standard" or "Power User" account (including the visual editor side), without elevating one's security privileges?

I am sorry, but this process has not changed. The visual editor component still needs administrator access to run due to the way the DHTMLED.OCX works (this is the visual editor control). We are however researching other methods of handling this, but it will not be included for this initial release.

How do you write the pages and the css at the same time in CC??
(I have never figured that out.)

As for another users question about the "HightLight Code" it's not
rocket science... why isn't it in there?!?!?!

Bill, what do you mean by "write the pages at the same time"? You can create one document that includes both sets of code or create two pages, one with the HTML and the other with the CSS. If you can tell me how you specifically want it to work, maybe we have a solution for you.

As to the highlight code, there are some settings for this. Go to the Document Menu > Set Highlighter File Type, and then choose which type of highlighter you would like to use.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the effort you guys at CoffeeCup put into making a great software even better. I am looking forward to trying out the CSS Menu making function, as I'm always looking out for ways to make my websites cross browser friendly.

What I would have liked more than anything else is a preview for PHP files, I don't think it was part of the up-grade if it was I missed that.

Regards,
Graeme


PHP is a server language which means that it cannot be viewed directly in a browser. When PHP is installed on your Web server it automatically parses the data from the php script before sending to the browser. To do locally on your computer we would have to install a Web server as well as PHP. This can then become extremely tricky because there are so many different versions of PHP out there and then we have to deal with countless security applications which would be trying to block a lot of things.

So it is possible, but we have to really do this right. I am sure down the road this sort of feature will make it into the software in some way.

Scott,

Thanks for the update. I had a company develop my site with PHP. So my fiiles are all *.php verus *.htm or *.html. Now they did not really use much PHP rather the files are labeled that. Whenever I have used CoffeeCup in the past once I tried the WYSIWYG then my content was messed up. I had to manually update the content. I could never use your program like I wanted to. Has some of these bugs been resolved in the new release?

Thanks,

Hey Scott -- You hit it on the nose.
"You can create one document that includes both sets of code or create two pages, one with the HTML and the other with the CSS."

That's what I need to know how to do -- Yeah, I'm brain dead and it's probably
something simple and right in front of me and I keep missing it.
