Editing With the Free Netscape HTML Editor
Once you have downloaded your template and unzipped it. You will need an HTML editor. One good choice is the free Netscape HTML editor. This editor is built into older versions of the Netscape browser such as version 6.0 and version 7.02. This software includes help files for more advanced editing. Below is a brief outline of how to get started.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Be sure to download Netscape 7.02 and not 7.2. We have tested all versions on a PC in Windows XP and the 7.02 version is the best version to edit any template file type. When installing we chose the "custom" install.
The Netscape editor is not recommended for use on Chrome model templates.
About the Netscape editor:
The Netscape editor, also known as "Netscape Composer" is only included in older downloads of Netscape. Version 7.02 is the best solution for editing Allwebco templates.
Set Netscape preferences for editing:
Once you have installed Netscape 7.02, open the browser. On the menu choose "edit" then "preferences". Choose "Composer" and make sure that "Retain Original source formatting' is checked on. This should be the default.
File types:
The Netscape editor can be used for most file types used in Allwebco templates including .js .css and most important, for your .htm and .html files. If setup properly this editor will not disturb the code used in any type of template file. This editor is also available for both PC and MAC. Be sure to backup your files and to check each edit in Netscape, Firefox and IE before you proceed to the next edit.
How to edit an HTML page:
Open your Netscape browser. open the folder with your template files. Drag any one of the HTML pages into the Netscape browser (or you can choose "File" then "Open File" instead). Now choose "File" then choose "Edit Page". You can do your edits right there. You can edit in either "View" then "HTML Source" or in "Normal Edit Mode". Save the file and refresh the browser to see your updates. Be sure to backup your files and to check each edit in Netscape, Firefox and IE before you proceed to the next edit.
