HomeSite V4.01 for Windows 95/98 & NTFrom the publisher:
HomeSite 4.01 has arrived!
HomeSite is the only HTML tool that combines the productivity of a WYSIWYN (What You See Is What You Need) interface with "Pure HTML" output and one-step deployment.
An extensible customizable tool, HomeSite enables Web developers to build and manage Web sites quickly and to incorporate the latest Web technologies easily. As the professional Web developers advise, "don't build your Web site without it."
HomeSite 4.01 Features and Benefits
The number 1 reason that professional Web developers buy HomeSite is that it lets them get their projects done faster than any other HTML tool. HomeSite 4.0 will enable HomeSite users to produce Web sites faster than ever before:
- High-end Language Support
HomeSite's color-coding now extends to JavaScript, ASP, Perl, and DHTML.- Style Editor
With the new Style Editor, users can easily create and edit Cascading Style Sheets. This replaces the CSS wizard in HomeSite 3.0.- JavaScript Wizard
A new JavaScipt wizard helps users create Javascript faster.- SMIL Support
HomeSite 4.0 has support for the new Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language.- Tag Inspector and Tag Tree
The new Tag Inspector displays attributes and properties in single property sheet interface. A new Tag Tree displays page's tag structure to aid in page navigation and visualization.- Design View
For rapid prototyping, initial page layout and quick edits, HomeSite's new visual development mode is faster than code editing. Requires Internet Explorer 4.01.- Site View
New Site View gives a hierarchical view of the entire Web site with integration to HomeSite's link verification feature. Users can choose either a chart style or a tree style interface.Improved Web Site Quality
HomeSite generates "Pure HTML." Unlike many WYSIWYG tools, HomeSite does not add any code to the HTML page other than what is necessary for display through a browser. Extraneous code reduces performance, adds to page complexity, and hinders editing. Improvements in HomeSite's quality control features will result in higher quality Web sites for users.
- Code Preservation
HomeSite maintains the integrity and formatting of imported HTML pages. Developers can import HTML pages from other tools and HomeSite will not reformat the imported page's code- CodeSweeper
With the new CodeSweeper feature, users can apply a predefined set of formatting rules to a page. This is especially useful when working with pages that were created with other tools. Users can modify HomeSite's standard set of formatting rules to create their own custom code formatting guidelines.- Browser Targeting
The ability to specify browser targets, both level and brand, is found in several HomeSite features - Tag Tree, Tag Inspector, Validation, and Tag Insight.- New HTML Validation
Includes validation by HTML level (HTML 3.2, HTML 4.0), single tag validation, and automatic validation.- Link Verification
Link verification rewritten to improve handling of projects/multiple files, integration with site view, and handling proxy servers.- Enhanced Spell Checker
Spell checking can now use Microsoft Word's dictionaries. Spell checking is now integrated into the Edit View with error highlighting and replacement suggestions.Improved Extensibility and Customizability
HomeSite is designed so that users can extend its functionality and customize its interface to their needs. HomeSite 4.01 offers greater ability to customize HomeSite's user interface, to extend the functionality, and to automate tasks.
- ActionScripts
Users can create and share scripts that automate HomeSite tasks. The ActionScripts can be created within HomeSite itself using JavaScript or VBScript. HomeSite now exposes its object model (VTOM - Virtual Tool Object Model) and is an OLE server.- Programmable Hot-keys
HomeSite users can now program their own hot-keys for HomeSite tasks. Hot-keys can also be created for Tag Snippets.- Version Control
HomeSite is now compatible with SCCI-standard version control products such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, Intersolv PVCS, and Starbase Versions.- Customization
Dockable toolbars; private/shared tag snippets; auto- insert special characters; improved FTP capabilities; improved printing.- Performance
Starts faster; opens/closes files 3 - 4 times faster; Extended search & replace much faster as well.- Interoperability
HomeSite 4.01 integrates with popular products such as Word, Excel, and Internet Explorer. User's can cut and paste text from Word into HomeSite retaining formatting. Excel spreadsheets can be brought into HomeSite to create tables. Users can drag and drop HTML from Internet Explorer 4.0 into HomeSite.The HomeSite Developer Community
When you adopt HomeSite 4.01 as your Web site development tool, you will be joining the HomeSite community, a fanatic group of professional developers spread around the world. Allaire facilitates this ad hoc group with resources available on the Allaire Web site:
