WEB-ED Webpage and Scripting Editor

Current Version: 5.5

A unique editor with specialized functions and support for
HTML, VBScript, DHTML, ASP, CSS, Javascript, PHP ...
... and just plain text.

   The WEB-ED editor is designed with specialized features for different languages. The editor window changes automatically to provide different functions for each language. There is a VBScript editor, an HTML editor, a CSS editor and a javascript editor, each with different features. The HTML editor also incorporates the functions for VBScript, ASP, PHP, javascript and CSS.
   WEB-ED has been designed to have a simple, uncluttered interface - avoiding excessive or unnecessary functions while still providing a full range of useful code editing features.
Advanced Color Syntax Highlighting
   WEB-ED has color syntax highlighting for VBS, HTML, javascript, CSS, PHP and ASP.

    It 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 functions in VBScript, javascript and PHP).

Code Auto-Completion
    WEB-ED has an "intellisense"™-style auto-completion popup menu for code completion in VBS, VBS-in-HTML, javascript and CSS.

   The auto-completion popup for script appears whenever a period is typed after an object variable. It provides an auto-complete menu of the methods and properties for that object.

   With the built-in object browser you can quickly enable auto-completion for virtually any object. Just pick the object and WEB-ED does the rest. It finds all methods and properties exposed by the object and creates an auto-insert popup menu for that object. (VBScript auto-completion also functions within HTML SCRIPT tags.)

• VBScript editor and javascript editor: Auto-completion popup menu for the methods and properties of any object. (See VBScript editor screenshot.)

• CSS editor: Auto-completion for CSS properties and their values. (Also functions in HTML STYLE tags.)

• HTML editor: Auto-insert buttons for common HTML tags, with auto-completion of IMG tag size attributes. Auto-insert popup menu for objects in VBScript within SCRIPT tags. Auto-insert popup menu for CSS properties and values within STYLE tags.

Syntax Debugging
• VBScript editor: Syntax debugging by line and by file. When leaving a line, editor checks for missing parentheses, "If" without "Then", wrong spacing, etc.

• HTML editor: Whole file check for missing end tags or problems within tags.

• MS Script Debugger: WEB-ED can optionally run scripts in the MS Script Debugger.

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.
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 of InternetExplorer.Application and get a complete listing of the properties and methods available from those objects. The WEB-ED object browser is especially designed for use with script, presenting object information in a clear, usable format.

• Requirements:

   Any Windows PC running Windows 95 or later.
   WEB-ED Editor is compatible with all Windows versions from Windows 95 through Vista. There are no special requirements.

   Windows Vista note: Windows Vista "security enhancements", if left at default settings, may cause problems such as difficulty saving program settings in WEB-ED. It is recommended that when running WEB-ED on Vista you run as Administrator and disable the User Account Control function. Also, install WEB-ED to a folder of your own creation, such as C:\Programs. (One of the more bizarre "improvements" on Windows Vista is that software installed normally to the Program Files folder is not allowed to access its own files! In the case of WEB-ED Editor that will result in the inability to save some customizing settings because those settings are stored in INI files, in the WEB-ED program folder. Since the Program Files folder is effectively crippled on Windows Vista, a good way to minimize compatibility problems with all software is to never install any program in the Program Files folder.)

WEB-ED Editor was used to write all webpages on this website. It was also used to write all of the VBScripts available on the Script samples page, the MSI code, and the various other script utilities from JSWare.
