WEB-ED Webpage and Scripting Editor 5.79.620

WEB-ED is a great editor primarily for HTML, VBScript, DHTML and CSS. It also supports ASP, javascript and PHP.

It has numerous text-editing functions for general use. It also has specialized functions for several purposes: VBScript, VBS in HTML script tags, VBS in ASP tags, CSS, Javascript and PHP.

There are 5 distinct editors in 4 distinct windows. The four editor windows - VBScript, Javascript, HTML and CSS - can be selected from the Options menu.

The HTML window also includes specialized color syntax highlighting for ASP when an ASP or ASPX file is loaded. The four editor windows all work separately but are variations of the single program window.

The general aim is for WEB-ED to be a full-function coding editor, providing any useful stepsaving functions while maintaining a simple interface. There are many peripheral functions available for HTML, script and CSS files. There are also a number of functions that make WEB-ED useful as an all-purpose editor, such as Find-And-Replace, Multi-File Replace, etc.

Major Features:

1. Advanced Color Syntax Highlighting
   
   • Color syntax highlighting for VBS, HTML, javascript, CSS, PHP and ASP. WEB-ED is the only editor with script variable color-coding, making it easy to avoid mis-typed variables and to track the actions of your code visually. (Variable colorcoding works in VBScript, javascript and PHP. Property and value colorcoding in CSS.)
2. Code Auto-Completion Popup Menu
   
   • "Intellisense"™-style auto-completion popup menu for code completion in VBS, VBS-in-HTML, javascript and CSS. No need to look up properties and methods of COM objects. They're all listed in the popup menu when you type an object variable. Likewise, the CSS popup menu lists CSS properties and values for specific properties.
3. Customizable Auto-insert Toolbars
   
   • Two auto-insert toolbars along the bottom of the editor window can auto-insert common HTML tags, script, CSS, etc. The toolbars are customizable. A total of 25 toolbar "menu buttons" can be customized to display a chosen caption and to auto-insert any pre-defined string... with just one click.
4. Syntax Debugging
   
   • VBS/VBS-in-HTML: Syntax debugging by line and by file. Checks spacing, parentheses, quotes, etc. Catches most common typos before the script is run.
   • HTML editor: Whole file check for missing end tags or problems within tags.
   • MS Script Debugger can be run from WEB-ED.
5. Context Help
   
   • HTML Editor: Shows a list of usable attributes for selected HTML tag.
   • VBScript editor: Shows information about scriptable object methods and properties as they're used. Provides a popup descriptions of VBS sub and function parameters even if those subs and functions are declared in external files. (See auto-completion screenshot.)
   • javascript editor: Shows information about scriptable object methods and properties as they're used.
6. Built-in Object Browser
   
   • WEB-ED has an easy-to-use object browser built in for scripting use. The object browser can list all registered objects on your system. It can also show you the properties, methods, constants and file information for virtually any of those objects. That means that you can look up objects like the FileSystemObject or InternetExplorer.Application and get a complete listing of the properties and methods available from those objects.
