About Web In-site


Web In-site is an advanced HTML editor that has been written under the Java 2 Platform utilising the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) Swing GUI components and classes. It has been designed to assist Web authors in the development of efficient Web pages and in the creation of sophisticated Web Sites. In addition to the set of core features implemented in the application, support is provided for some of the latest advancements in Web programming such as the creation and use of style sheets using a cross browser implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). HTML editors, in general, provide a means of developing and maintaining Web pages. There are a vast number of Web authoring tools currently available, but most of these applications have their shortcomings. These are mainly due to design complexities and a lack of built in utilities. It is commonplace for too much emphasis to be placed on a "What you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) development environment which can often detract from the efficacy of the tool. The simplicity of HTML has also proven to be one of its greatest drawbacks. This has necessitated the introduction of more powerful advancements to Web programming such as the concept of Style Sheets. Style Sheets provide a powerful and flexible way of specifying formatting information for Web pages. Style sheets can be applied to all occurrences of particular elements within a document, thereby enabling authors to change the format of a page by applying rules within the style sheet itself instead of modifying each individual occurrence of the relevant element within the document. The GUI and the core features of the editor have been designed to effectively assist users with varying levels of requirements. The advanced features serve as invaluable utilities for those who wish to continue using their current HTML editors, yet desire the option of using these additional features and utilities. The application also assists users in the maintenance of large and complex sites through the usage of an effective site management utility.
