Web editing apps updated

I’ll admit that this Web Wonder has me curious. Have not had a chance to try it out myself, but boy oh boy it sounds like a good alternative to the other WYSIWYG editors that I have seen over the years…

RISC OS web designers were treated to a double whammy this month as new versions of Web Wonder and HTML Edit 6 were unleashed. Dubbed ‘Navigator’, David Snell’s latest Web Wonder comes as a free upgrade, and includes updates to the user interface and the design functions.

Of all the new features, David said he particularly liked the editing of navigation buttons and contact pages, and the addition of a search engine.

On the navigation editing feature, which includes rollover image support, David said: “Many links are already deduced and the few you need to provide are simply dragged and dropped. The ability to upgrade old files all over the website from simple buttons to rollovers just by specifying the new second button image in the definition box and calling a function is a terrific time saver.”

He added: “The new search engine can perform a search over all or part of the site and uses a ‘throw-back’ type of approach to access actual pages that can then be modified using find and replace. It deals with things like ampersand so if you were to search for ‘This & That’ it will find it although the HTML contains ‘This & That’. It will also permit a search in the page titles.”
