As you develop Web pages, it's important to preview your work to see how it will look in a user's browser. HomeSite offers an internal browser, but you can also configure it to launch your browser in a separate window.
The Browse view shows how your HTML code, text, and graphics look in a web browser.
Instead of previewing your page in the internal browser, you can choose to view the current document in an external browser. HomeSite automatically detects which browsers you have installed and lists them in a drop-down menu when you choose the External Browser tool on the View toolbar.
You can add, edit, and delete browser listings, and use the arrow tools to re-order the list of browsers.
Now when you press the External Browser tool on the View menu, your external browsers are configured according to your preferences.
HomeSite provides a visual editing view, called Design View, which lets you edit an HTML page while seeing how the results would look in a browser.
The Design view is most useful if you're a new user, if you're designing the major elements that fit on a page, or if you're creating a complex table and want to create the table's form visually without coding the HTML tags.
The Design view feature requires Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.01 or later. If you don't have this browser installed, or if you don't intend to use the Design view, you can disable the Design view in the Design page of the Settings (F8) dialog box.
The Design view opens, showing a browser view of the document that you can also use to edit text, styles, and graphics.
