HTMLed Pro -- HTMLed Pro incorporates many advanced features into a program that is extremely easy to use. Intelligent tag insertion, tag removal, automatic saving with or without HTML tags, word wrap, color chooser, QuickKeys (for inserting commonly used pieces of text), an HTML automatic page designer tool, right mouse button functionality (user-configurable), and custom buttons (also user-configurable) are just a few of HTMLed's advanced features. In addition, the task of creating background images and identifying colors for your web pages is made easy with HTMLed. With QuickKeys, custom buttons, and customizable right mouse button functionality all at your fingertips, HTMLed Pro offers more options than any other HTML editor for personalizing the service to your needs. QuickKeys for routine and oft-used features like spell checking and insertion of common tags, a repeat button for automatically re-entering commands, and HTML templates for creating common pages are all critical time-saving activities built-in to the HTMLed interface. Perhaps two of the best features of HTMLed Pro are its Form and Table Designers which allow you to easily and attractively set up your own forms and tables. These Designers are perhaps the best available tools for creating advanced forms and tables of any HTML editors currently available. Still, the form designer could be improved by implementing scripting capabilities (Perl or CGI) for handling the back-end processing aspect of forms. Another of HTMLed Pro's better features is its remote file uploading and saving capabilities. You can even have your .HTM files automatically renamed to .HTML files after being uploaded. HTMLed Pro, like many of the newer HTML editors, contains many, many features, but unfortunately, HTMLed does lack a HTML tutorial and the depth and breadth of on-line help documentation common to editors like HotDog Pro and WebEdit. The interface of HTMLed is also considered by many to be less attractive than those of its close competitors. Like the best HTML Editors on the 'net, HTMLed Pro is one of those that just keeps getting better and better all the time; if you haven't gotten a chance to check this one out yet, by all means do so. HTMLed Shareware: The shareware version of HTMLed offers many of the same features as the Professional version. However, it does lack a built-in spelling checker, remote file save and open capabilities, RTF importing, intelligent tag insertion, and a HTML form designer. This version is available with a thirty day free evaluation. At just $29 to register, the shareware version is an inexpensive and efficient solution for those seeking the benefits of the pro version without having to pay the extra costs ($99.95 for HTMLed Pro). Pros: Intelligent tagging, excellent Table and Forms Designers, and many more advanced features; easy to use Cons: Lack of on-line help, high price (relative to HTML Writer), interface could be more attractive New: Better integration with Netscape, integrated spelling checker, bug fixes, much more Version Reviewed: Pro - 1.1b.
