[Purpose] [New for 2.30.0223] [New for 2.20.1125] [New for 2.2] [New for 2.1] [New for 2.0] SiteAid Information Page Our Purpose...     Since entering the Freeware Market several years ago, our clear and communicated desire was to reach the shareware market as an exceptional HTML editor. Through the dedicated loyalty of thousands and thousands of registered freeware users, we have collected information for the SiteAid version you see today. Records were kept, comments noted and a lot of sweat spent over this new release. It's an under statement to say that we really appreciate our freeware user's comments and suggestions. Without them, we would have had no avenue to discover what's REALLY important to the web authoring community. We have tried to add the most requested items!     It is not our goal to make software with the most bells and whistles. That has already been done... It is our goal to make software with the most intuitive and useful features! We feel we have come very close to this, although we are still open to input from our users. Have a look at what we've added to our shareware version below, and please consider downloading the program! We hope you like what you see and that you might find the feature you recommended! What's New For SiteAid Version 2.30.0223... Included corrections of several cosmetic issues with Windows XP! Corrected run-time error 13 problem with FTP host set-up. External browser now works with Netscape 6 and Opera. A more efficient installation program has been created, allowing a much quicker install of SiteAid! A few minor other items have been taken care of during this update. What Was New For SiteAid Version 2.20.1125... Included in this update are a few bug fixes involving the CTRL key and the edit window. An additional browsing option within the Settings... panel has been added. Deleting a file using the popup menu now sends the file to the Recycle Bin if the operating system is set to use this feature. A few very minor other items have been taken care of during this update What Was New For SiteAid Version 2.2... The major highlight of this release is the addition of a new HTML Validator! This will allow authors to check their HTML markup for errors that would prevent them from being viewed properly. It also allows a method for not only checking your mark-up to the doctype you have specified, but it also allows you to use the layout options in the "Preferences" of this feature to affect the way your HTML is layed out in the editor. We feel that this is a vital addition that most companies would have bumped a revision level for, charging their customers more. Amiasoft is adding this option as a part of this maintainence release. We appreciate your patronage and hope you enjoy using this new feature! A feature has been added to the FTP tool allowing users to send commands directly to the server. This can be found using the button marked SC on the Main FTP Panel, above the remote files. FTP Set-up Host problem fixed that caused Run Timer Error if user clicked in Main FTP panel while setup was showing. FTP has been fixed to allow transfer of file names with spaces. FTP transfer modes has been moved to the main panel to allow changes during the current session. FTP has added the CHMOD function for Remote files to the pop-up menu. ASP and SSI files are now listed under the Group/New Group/Add File dialog. Meta Editor added to Tools Menu Instruction has been added to the Help Files for making SiteAid your default editor.

Additional options have been added to allow different date formats when using the Tags/Insert Date and Time menu option. Browse has been fixed to accept long file names. Option has been added to allow the user to select if the tab will be system default (actual Tab character) or set-up using spaces. If using spaces, the user will be allowed to specify the number of spaces for each tab character. This function can be accessed by selecting the Options/Settings selection and choosing the Editor Format Tab. Match Case option fixed in Find/Replace action. Tweaked the splitter bar, the adjustment method between the File Listing and Editor window. To access this feature, all you need do is place your cursor between the editor window and file listing. When the cursor changes shape, click and drag the file listing larger or smaller as needed. Fixed problem causing Run Time Error when using the Element/Attribute list to insert tags on files larger then 32kb. What Was New For SiteAid Version 2.1... Several problems with the FTP have been corrected with a re-write of the FTP Module. Those who could not connect to their server or properly list files should check this behavior again. We have also worked to improve the speed of the FTP program. FTP "Green Arrows" have been modified to allow color-blind users to better define which files will be affected. You can now select multiple files for deletion in the FTP utility. FTP Set-up Host problem fixed that caused Run Timer Error because of trailing spaces in the Host Name. FTP Set-up Host panel now asks you to save if you have modified an entry. A few issues with the Undo functionality have been corrected. A new command line functionality has been added to allow SiteAid to be your default editor. For those interested, SiteAid can be made to be the default edit function for certain file types (i.e. htm, html or css files) by going to your File Types and creating a new Edit action (this can be found in Win 98 within "My Computer" from the View/Folder Options... Menu). Inside of the instructions for this action, select SiteAid to be the "Application used to perform action" and follow it with a "%1". An example would look like: "C:\Program Files\SiteAid Version 2\SiteAid.exe" "%1". If it is made to be the default action, SiteAid will open upon a double click of the appropriate file type. If it is not the default action, you can get to this action by right-clicking the file you wish to work with and selecting the Edit option. A few Java Script date problems have been identified and corrected. A problem within the Form Editor list build has been corrected so that a list can now be built correctly. Help Files have been updated to help direct you to the functionality you are investigating. Asp extension has been added to the Add File in the Group function. Create, Rename and Delete functions have been added to a pop-up menu in the directory listing at the left of the program. When inserting Special Characters, focus returns to the edit window, rather than staying in the Special Characters window. Meta Editor corrected to not leave out URL= in refresh attribute. Frame editor fixed to include missing Frameset ending elements. Run Time Error 5 while trying to insert Java scripts on some systems has been eliminated. Color problem fixed that made toolbar buttons appear black under certain color combinations. Please feel free to contact us with any further enhancements or bugs you might notice. Your input is essential in improving and maintaining SiteAid functionality and quality! What Was New For SiteAid Version 2.0... A new "User Defined" toolbar has been added. Multiple browser capability. Program appearance has been updated and enhanced to help minimize resource usage. SiteAid 2.0 is now HTML 4.0 compliant, offering full HTML 4.0 Transitional conformance. Colored syntax highlighting has been added, allowing for full customization of not only the editor appearance, but all of the colors for your code and editor background. Along with the Colored Syntax, we have added the ability to print these documents out in color as well. FTP capability has been added, offering a full service FTP utility within the program. Group capability has been added that allows the user to select an entire project at one time. This allows easy access to an entire site's documents, or key documents from a site. Offering access to the most popular web-related file extensions, SiteAid allows editing of htm, html, dhtml, shtml, asp, txt and css file formats. SiteAid now allows over 100 files opened at any one time (depending on system resource availability). A Replace All has been added to the standard Find/Replace function. Advanced Find and Replace has been added, allowing the user to replace entries across multiple files. This allows for quick changes to a group of files, across all open files or across selected files. If used on open files, the user has available an undo through each file to cancel the change before it is made permanently! The Body Editor functionality has been enhanced to allow the editor to collect information from a current document and fill in all of the entries with existing values. When finished with your changes, it modifies the BODY element, or adds one if necessary. A full featured Form Editor has been added to make the life of Web Professionals easier. It includes support for redundant tasks that are encountered in building your professional looking forms. An exciting new addition to SiteAid is its feature rich Style Sheet support, boasting an editor that inserts all of the more common style sheet selectors and properties, as well as forms for creating classes and IDs. While choosing Fonts for use on your style sheets or FONT elements, we now allow a preview area while selecting your font that gives you a chance to not only see what the font will look like, but also allows you to type in whatever words you wish to preview the font with. For those who are only human (just like us), SiteAid now offers a complete Spell Checking utility with custom dictionary capabilities. SiteAid offers the freedom to either spell check a selected area of text, or the whole document. Joining our Active File/Identify File information window in the status panel is a line number counter. Those of you who frequently use Validators will appreciate this addition. Another functional enhancement is the file control pop-up menu available in the file listing panel, providing not only an open/insert option, but rename and delete as well. "Smart List" technology has been added, not only in the Tag Editor, available on the General toolbar, but in the Element/Attribute List available on the top tool bar. This allows the user to select the element they wish to insert, and the attribute list is automatically updated to only the legal HTML 4.0 Transitional attributes. In addition to the "Smart List" enhancement mentioned above, full control has been given to the user regarding case control over both the elements themselves, as well associated attributes. Not only does the user have control, but the ability to convert entire documents to your selections. If you like lowercase attributes on your uppercase elements, set it that way and everything will be inserted by the program in that style. The much requested Javascript samples have been included with this release of SiteAid. We have included many of the more commonly seen Javascripts, and some that are not quite so common. SiteAid allows you to tailor the script to your needs, than inserts it into a new document for you to either Paste and Cut from, or build a document using the complete HTML code that was inserted for you. Either way, you'll have a full working version to build from. Also, the VERY much requested Special Character support has been added for both our International and English users. Offering a wide range of characters, we have packaged it into a easy to read table format that can be left on-screen for your convenience. For the organized webmaster, we have added a function to use a constant "relative" path in our image insertion tool. This allows the user who likes to keep his images in a sub directory, such as "images", the ability to do just that by entering the additional path only once. Another new feature added is the ability to have unlimited undo's between saves. After your sure you like what you've got, save your file and the undo's start collecting again! Also added was the ability for the user to switch between active documents from the keyboard. By selecting the Shift + F1 or F2, you can advance to the Next or Previous document! A full featured Meta Editor has been added for the user to select and edit the most commonly used Meta statements.
