Major New Features

Dynamic theme components

New dynamic navigation bars and smart banners change automatically when you add, rename, rearrange, or remove documents in a Web project, eliminating the need for manual updates. These new theme components are inserted on every page in a project created by the improved Site Wizard, and you can add them to any other project that uses a theme.

Navigation trees

Navigation trees are a new concept in Namo WebEditor 4. By using a navigation tree, you can explicitly define the structural relationships among the documents in a project, setting up relationships such as parent-child and sibling-sibling. The navigation tree, which can be viewed and edited in the new Structure tab of the Site Manager, are the basis of the new dynamic navigation bars in Namo WebEditor 4.

Database connectivity

The new Database Wizard can help you create powerful, dynamic database-enabled documents in just a few easy steps. You can use the wizard to insert tables for viewing database records, forms for adding or modifying records, and even charts that present data visually. The wizard supports any kind of database that can be accessed through ODBC and supports both ASP and PHP document creation.

Integrated image tools

Namo WebEditor 4 includes a suite of built-in image tools, so you can apply effects to the images in your documents such as adjusting brightness and contrast, rotating and flipping, sharpen/blur, gradients, drop shadows, and text overlays, all without resorting to an external graphics editing program. In addition, the Image Gallery Wizard automatically creates perfectly laid out image and thumbnail galleries in just a few steps.

Import spreadsheets and create a chart

You can now import tables from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and have Namo WebEditor generate standard HTML tables from them, while maintaining an optional link to the original table for subsequent editing in Excel. Plus, the new Chart Wizard creates colorful, fully customizable charts and graphs from numerical data in tables.

Insert multimedia objects

Namo WebEditor 4 supports inserting several popular multimedia file formats, such as QuickTime, RealAudio, Shockwave, and Flash, directly in the Edit window. You can set the properties of these multimedia objects using convenient dialog boxes.

Script Manager

The new Script Manager makes short work of managing multiple JavaScript actions in a single document. You can easily attach actions to many kinds of page elements and assign events to trigger those actions, all from one convenient window.

Global find and replace

You can now search and replace text in all the documents in a project or a folder (including subfolders) at the same time. Works with both text in the Edit window and strings in HTML sources.
