Hvað er EZPad?
What is EZPad?

EZPad is a "text-based" HTML editor for beginners and the more experienced.  Many people use Notepad to edit HTML

but EZPad offers alot of features not found in Notepad, such as the ability to open multiple files at once, internal previewers

wizards for almost every HTML tag and alot more.

EZPad 3.0 comes equipped with Wilbur.hlp which is a good HTML 3.2 reference by WDG, so it helps

you learn HTML while you edit your pages.  That's why EZPad is good for people who want to learn HTML

instead of using idiot proof tools like Netscape Composer or FrontPage.

EZpad 2.0 got very popular in a relatively short time.  An example of that is how many people downloaded it

and sent us comments and stuff.  Tucows gave EZPad 2.0

4.5 cows out of 5 and  Nonags gave EZPad 2.0 5.5

ducks out of 6.

Troubleshooting

Here are the known bugs in EZPad:

********************************************************

This bug is fatal:

When the program is showing the splash screen the following

errormessage comes up:

EOleSyserror in module EZPAD3.EXE at

"Some address"

However, the address is not "00082C65", since that was the symptom of

of the Internet Explorer bug.

If you experience this bug, I think you must look for another HTML editor :(

since you are one of the few unlucky ones that have got a computer

that EZPad will just not run on. We have absolutely no idea why

this occurs.

PS. You could try installing EZPad again ... but ehh ...

********************************************************

When I try to run EZPad or exit EZPad, I get a errormessage saying

something like:

"File/Path or drive is invalid" ...

and I can't exit the program. What the hell is wrong?!

Solution:

You have two options:

1.

Goto file | Options | Preferences and select the "Misc"

page. Press the "Uninstall EZPad 3.0" button.

Close the preferences window by pressing "OK".

Exit EZPad. If it won't let you, then you should press

CTRL+ALT+DELETE a few times and select EZPad from

the list and press "End Task" each time. After a few seconds

Windows should discover that EZPad is behaving badly and you

should be able to terminate it. When you run EZPad again, the

bug should be gone.

2.

Run regedit.exe (located in the windows directory)

Open "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", and open "Software".

You should see a "folder" named "EZpad" select it

and press delete. When you run EZPad again, the

bug should be gone.

By doing either one of the above methods, you lose all your

preferences, but the errormessage will disappear for

sure!

********************************************************

If you run into any problems, or discover any bugs, feel free to contact us at

ezpad@hotmail.com

Try to explain the bug, where it occurs and what kind of system you have,

which version of Windows and if you have Internet Explorer or not installed.


QuickOpen
The QuickOpen

In version 3.0, the QuickOpen is divided into 4 pages.

The first page displays the directory structure of your

computer, and if you doubleclick images, they are opened

in the image previewer.

You can also drag'n'drop files,

For example:

You drag the file ble.jpg and then you get:

<IMG SRC="ble.jpg" HEIGHT="[height]" WIDTH="[width]" ALT="ble.jpg">

You drag the file index.htm and then you get:

<A HREF="index.htm">index.htm</A>

When you're dragging and dropping images, you can choose if the HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes

are automatically filled, and if the ALT tag is filled or not.

For every kind of files you can select if the entire path, just the filename or only the required

path is returned.

For more information, see preferences.

Page number 2 (TAGS) displays a list of the most often used HTML tags.

You can insert them on the page by double clicking them, by

pressing enter or simply by dragging them to the editor.

Furthermore, you can edit the lists contents. By pressing "insert"

on the keyboard, you can add tags to the list, and you can delete

from the list by pressing "delete" on the clipboard

Below the list is a little button with an arrow on it. When you press

the button, a popup menu appears with tree options:

•	Save list as ...	You can save the contents of the list to a file with the extension  *.lst

•	Open list ...	You can open other lists

•	Load default list            	Loads the default list (NOTE: Both the TAGS and ATTRIBUTES lists)

Page 3 (ATTRIBUTES) displays the most used attributes.

You can insert them on the page by double clicking them, by

pressing enter or simpy by dragging them to the editor.

The same applies to this page as the TAG page,

you can edit the ATTRIBUTES list.

Page number 4 (special) displays special characters for HTML.

Among them is the copyright symbol, trademark symbol and

more.  You can insert them on the page the same way you

insert TAGS and ATTRIBUTES.

However, this list is not editable.


Takkaslá1
The Toolbar

There you find buttons for all of the

general functions.

The buttons are (Upper, left corner):

New page, Open file, Save file, Save all open files,

Project management, Refresh from disk,  Print, view in browser,

Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete, Undo.


HTML takkaslá
The HTML toolbar

This toolbar includes buttons to launch

wizards or to insert tags and attributes.

The buttons are arranged in a tabbed

interface to make it easier to find

what you need.

The pages are:

Basic, Font, Frames, Tables, Lists, Forms, Tools, Custom buttons and Programs


Skráaröndin
The filetabs

Each open file has it own tab.

By clicking the tabs you switch

between open files.


Litasláin
The colorbar

The colorbar includes buttons for quick

access to colors. By right-clicking on the

colorbar you can add, edit and delete

buttons. Furthermore you can adjust

the position of the colorbar.

Available positions are top,bottom and left.


Stöðusláin
The statusbar

The statusbar gives you various information

about the file you are editing.

To the left you see the position of the caret,

(Rows)X(Cols).

To the right you get the hint for every object

the mouse pointer is currently over.

Beside that, you see whether the file has been

changed or not and to the right you see the

number of lines in the file.


Valmyndirnar
The menus

I think I don't have to introduce menus to anyone.

What each menu item does appears on the statusbar


Tag-Quick

This is a very powerful feature in EZPad.

This is basically a popup list that appears when you enter "<" and displays

all available HTML tags and attributes, based on the

surrounding text.

Example:

You enter "<" and ">" automatically appears.

Tag-Quick appears and gives you a list of all HTML Tags

Say you choose "BODY" from the list.  Tag-Quick disappears and you press space.

Then you've got "<BODY >"

Tag-Quick pops up again, but now only contains the attributes available in the

BODY tag, for example "LINK=", "TEXT=" or "BACKGROUND="

The Tag-Quick list uses the contents of the TAGS and ATTRIBUTES pages on the

QuickOpen, so whenever you modify their contents, Tag-Quick is

automatically updated.


Edit HTML/HTML view

The "Edit HTML" page shows the editor where you

actually enter the HTML code, while the "HTML view" page

displays the  internal browser and shows

you how the page looks like.


Innbyggðir vafrar
Internal browsers

EZPad includes a basic previewer to preview

pages, but it doesn't support frames, java or

anything like that. It doesn't support

any font changes, other than in the

BODY tag.

If you´ve got Internet Explorer 3.01 (build number 1215 or higher)

then you can let EZPad use it as an internal previewer.

EZPad uses OLE to open Internet Explorer on the

"HTML view" area.

What is good about this is that EZPad uses the version

of Internet Explorer you have got installed, so if you upgrade

to IE 5.0, EZPad will use IE 5.0

For this to work, you must have the beforementioned

version of IE or higher.


Verkefnisstjórnun
Project Management

EZPad 3.0 includes project management, so if you

are working on a project containing alot of files, you

can create a single project file that includes all

of the required files. When you open the project,

all the files are opened.

The project manager is a rather simple window.

To the upper-left is a list that displays all the

projects found in the \project directory within the

EZPad directory.

Beside the list are three buttons. The button on the

top creates a new project, the middle button deletes

the selected project and the last button renames the

selected project.

On the middle of the project manager window are

another three buttons. "+" to add files,

"-" to remove files and the button furthest to the right

adds all open files to the project.

Below these three buttons is a list that displays all

the files in the current project.

Summary:

New project:

Press the "New" button. Give the new project a name

and press "OK". You should see the new project

in the list.

Delete project:

Select the project to be deleted and press the "Delete"

button. Press "OK" when windows asks you to store it

in the recycle bin.

Rename project:

Select the project to be rename. Press the "Rename"

button. Enter the new name and press "OK". You should

see the project with the new name in the list.

Add files to project:

Select the project you wish to add files to. Press the "+"

button and browse for the files. You should see

the files in the lower list.

Delete from project:

Choose the file from the lower list you want to delete.

Press the "-" button and the file should disappear.

NOTE: No confirmation is required and the file itself

is not deleted, only the project entry.

Opening projects

Select the project you wish to open and press

"Open project".


Fyrirmyndir
Templates

If you work with alot of files which are all based on the same

background color, font types etc. it can be good to save

the base as a template. When you need a new file, you

simply select FILE | NEW | From templates, and you

get the base.

To create a template, you select File | Save as template

The template window displays all the templates found in the

\templates directory within the EZPad directory.  When you

click a template from the list, you can see how it looks like

to the right. Below the preview are three buttons, one to save

any modifications made to the preview window, and one button

to increase the font size and one to decrease it.

To open a template you can double click it in the list or

you can select it and press "OK".

Note: When you open templates, the file is not considered to

be modified until you type something in yourself.


Heimasíðan skoðuð
Previewing the homepage

To see how the page looks like, you simply

flip over to the "HTML view" page, which

opens up the selected internal previewer

and displays the page. More info about

internal previewers can be found here.


Rightclick tag editing
Right-click tag editing

This is a quite powerful and comfortable feature

in EZPad. When you're inside a tag, you right-click

with the mouse and the popup menu pops up, giving

you a new option, Edit [tagname] tag.

When you click it, the appropriate wizard is

opened and filled with the correct values.

For example, BODY:

You have a BODY tag on the page which looks like:

<BODY BGCOLOR="FFFFFF" TEXT="000000" LINK="0000FF">

When the caret is inside this tag and you right-click with the mouse

and select Edit BODY tag from the popup menu, the Body wizard

is displayed showing the correct values from the tag.

Say you change the background color to green in the body wizard

and press "OK" and you get:

<BODY BGCOLOR="00FF00" TEXT="000000" LINK="0000FF">

but all the other colors are kept like they were.

Right-click tag editing works on the following tags:

BODY

FONT

A

IMG

More support will be added in the following versions of EZPad.

Kewl dót glugginn
The Kewl stuff window

This window helps you create various complicated

things like e-mail forms, detour pages and more.

page in the kewl stuff window.


Stökkva í ákveðna línu
Jumping to a specific line

By using this window, you can jump to any

Að finna texta
Finding text

To find text you select "Search | Find" from the main

menu, or press CTRL+F. A new panel appears at

the bottom of EZPad´s main window.

Find this:

This is where you enter the text you want to find.

Replace with:

If you want to replace the text you find with something

else, you enter it here.

Whole word:

When this is checked, EZPad only looks for whole words,

for example, if you look for "EZ", EZPad will not find "EZ"

when it is a part of another word like in "EZPad".

However, if this option is not checked, EZPad will find every

occurence of "EZ", also when it is a part of another word.

Search up:

When this is checked, EZPad will search from the current

caret position and upwards.

Case sensitive:

When this is checked, EZPad will not consider "HTML"

to be the same as "html" for example.

If this option is not checked, there will not be made

any difference between big and small letters

(Uppercase or Lowercase).

Start from top:

When this is checked, EZPad will always start

searching from the top of the document.

Find/Find again:

This button serves two purposes. It searches for the

word you entered in the "Find this" field, and when you

press it again, EZPad continues to search for another

occurences.

Replace rest:

This button replaces the text you entered in the "Find this" field,

and replaces it with the text in the "Replace with" field.

Note: This button doesn't prompt you to replace or not, it simply

replaces all occurences found.

Replace/Find again:

This button does the same as the "Replace rest" button does,

but it stops when it has replaced a word.  That makes it possible

for you to skip certain occurences by pressing the "Find/Find again"

button and so forth.

Close

This button simply closes the "Find/Replace" panel.


Að stækka vinnusvæðið
Enlarging the work area

They who have low resolution monitors have significantly

smaller screen area. This makes it extremely nice to

be able to close the QuickOpen, the Toolbar

and the colorbar, with a single button/mouseclick to

get alot more space for the editor and the HTML view.

To do this you simply select "View | Big edit window" from the

main menu or simply by pressing F11 on your keyboard.


Innihald klemmuspjaldsins (Clipboard)
The Clipboard

This window shows you what is on the Windows

Clipboard.

At the bottom of the window are three buttons:

Clear:

This button clears the contents of the clipboard.

Send to EZPad:

This button basically does the same as the

"Paste" function does. It simply inserts the

clipboard contents to the current caret position

in the editor.

Help:

Displays the text you're reading right now!


Sérsníðanlegu takkarnir
The customizeable buttons

This window allows you to customize up to eight buttons,

to suit your demand.

In the uppermost field, you enter the caption for the button;

the text you want to appear on the button.

In the field below, you enter the hint; the text  that appears on

the statusbar when the mouse is kept over the button for

approx. 1 sec.

In the last field you enter the action, what you want the button

to do.  By typing in "||" you get the selected text.

For example:

If you want the button to make text one step larger you

enter:

<FONT SIZE="+1"></FONT>

However, it's much more useable to use the "||" feature.

For example, if you want to be able to select text and then

press the button to make the selected text one step

larger, all you have to do is:

<FONT SIZE="+1">||</FONT>

because EZPad will automatically replace the "||" with the

text that was selected when you pressed the button.

In the lower-right corner of the window you select the buttons,

1-9.


Að fá hjálp um það TAG sem maður er staddur í

the correct topic will be displayed.


Fontalistinn
The fontlist

The fontlist is a dropdown list that contains all fonts on your

computer.

The button to trigger the fontlist is on the "FONTS" page on

the HTML toolbar.

By entering the preferences window and flipping over to

the "Misc" page, and fiddling with the

"Wysiwyg fontlist" checkbox, you can select whether the fontlist

displays the right font for each item, or simply displays all

of the fonts with one face, like the below pictures show:

Drag'n'drop stuðningurinn útskýrður
The drag'n'drop support explained

EZPad supports drag'n'drop in many ways.

The drag'n'drop support is either on the

QuickOpen panel or by dragging from

Explorer.

1. Drag'n'drop inside the Quickopen

When you drag files from the QuickOpen to the editor,

EZPad creates links to them.

If you drag an image, you get:  "<IMG SRC="[filename]" HEIGHT="" WIDTH="" ALT="">"

By entering the preferences window and selecting the "Editor"

page, you can select if you want the "HEIGHT" and "WIDTH"

attributes to be automatically filled when you drag'n'drop

images to the editor.

You can also select if you want the "ALT" attribute to be used.

If the file is not an image, EZPad creates a normal link to it:

 "<A HREF="[Filename]"></A>"

You can also drag'n'drop files within the QuickOpen to copy them.

The TAGS, ATTRIBUTES and SPECIAL pages on the QuickOpen

panel all have drag'n'drop capability, you can drag their contents to

the editor.

2. Drag'n'drop from Explorer

When you drag'n'drop files from Explorer onto EZPad, they are

opened.

You can also drag'n'drop files onto the EZPad shortcut, which will

launch EZPad and open the file.


Bæta við skrá
Inserting files

You can insert files to the file you're working on by

selecting "File | Insert file ..." from the main menu.

When you have selected the file you wish to insert,

it will be inserted at the current caret position.


Flytja inn skrá
Importing files

You can let all ASCII files be displayed properly in browsers

by selecting "File | Import file".

What this does is basically very "cheap", it simply inserts the file

into the current document, at the current caret position, inside the

<PRE> tag. "Pre" stands for Preformatted text.


Body wizardinn
The Body wizard

The Body wizard makes it easier for you to select colors for

your page.

To change the color of each item, you simply press the buttons

which are positioned to the right of each item.

Be sure to check all the items you wish to use by clicking the

checkboxes on the left.

On the right-side of the Body wizard, you can see all changes as

you make them.

The Body wizard supports "rightclick tag editing".


Color wizardinn
The Color wizard

This is not exactly a wizard, it is simply the standard Windows

color dialog, but when you have selected a color and closed the

dialog, the color value is automatically converted to HEX, which

browsers understand.


E-mail wizardinn
The E-mail wizard

The E-mail wizard inserts e-mail links

to the current caret position.

In the upper field you enter the e-mail

address and in the lower field you enter the

text you want to appear on the link.


Font wizardinn
The Font wizard

The Font wizard makes it easier for you to configure font sizes,

colors and faces.

First you select the font size from the list. If the size you want is not

in the list, you can enter it.

Then you choose the font face from the list. The list displays all

fonts on your system, so you shouldn't have to enter anything

by your self.

Then you select the alternative face. If the one who is browsing

your page hasn't got the font face you declared above, the alternative

font face will be used.

Finally you can change the font color.

Be sure to check each item you wish to be added by checking the

checkbox in front of each item.

The Font wizard supports "rightclick tag editing".


Form wizardinn
The Form wizard

The Form wizard helps you to set up the FORM tag.

In the uppermost field you enter the action. Generally,

forms are used to send some kind of information

through e-mail, so you would enter the e-mail address

in to the field.

In the field below, you select the method. Should the form

post information or get information? Since you entered

an e-mail address into the first field, you would select

"post" from the list, since the form is supposed to

send data.

In the lowest field you select the encryption type. "Text/plain"

is often used.

Then you can use "Form elements" to create buttons,

checkboxes and more for your form.

More info about the FORM tag, can be found in the Wilbur.hlp file.


Hlutir fyrir forms
Form elements

Frame wizardinn
The Frame wizard

Frames are very popular on the net, because it is rather simple to use frames

to create sites that are easy to navigate.

The Frame wizard in EZPad 3.0 makes it easier for you to create frames.

At the top of the window you have 9 different frame configurations.

Simply select the one you think is appropriate and then you set the options

for each frame.

The frames are color coded and the settings for each frame are coded in the

same color.

You have to give each frame a name and you have to "tell" each frame which

html file to display.

For more information about frames, launch the Wilbur.hlp file.


Heimasíðuwizardinn
The Homepage wizard

The Homepage wizard was meant for those who don't

know anything about HTML.

You simply have to fill in the blanks at each step and

when you have finished the final step, the page is

made for you.

The pages made by the Homepage wizard show only

the simplest in HTML design. The outcome is in no

way professional, it's up to you to mess with the

HTML code to make the page look cooler!


Image wizardinn
The Image wizard

By using the Image wizard, you can insert images to

your page more quickly and efficiently. The Image wizard

automatically fills the HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes

with the correct values and it also filles out the

ALT attribute.

You have to check the checkbox next to each item you

wish to include.

Imagemap wizardinn
The Imagemap wizard

An Imagemap is an image that can include one or more links. The image can

be divided into multiple areas, each area linking to a document etc.

It can be pretty darn complicated to create an imagemap manually,

since the areas are set up by using coordinates.

The Imagepmap wizard makes it much easier.

First you have to specify an image by pressing "select image".

You can choose between three types of

shapes:

•	Rectangle

•	Circle

•	Cube

Simply drag'n'drop the shapes onto the image to create areas.

A few points:

Selected shapes are colored red.

When you create/select a shape, it's properties are displayed

to the right, where you enter the URL of the file you wish

to link to. You can also change the size of the shape by

clicking the arrows on the height, width, left and top

fields.

To delete shape, you click it with the right mousebutton.

When the shape is at the desired position, you can lock

it, so you won't accidently move it.

At the top of the properties panel is a dropdown list which

displays all of the shapes on the image.

When you're satisfied with your work, simply press the "OK"

button and the imagemap is immediately created.


List wizardinn
The List wizard

The List wizard helps you to create HTML lists

for your pages.

You can select between four types of lists,

each type containing some sub-types.

To add items to the list, you enter text into the "New line"

field and press ENTER on your keyboard or "Add to list".

You can select items from the list and delete them

by pressing the "Delete" button.

To clear the entire list, press "Clear all".


Link wizardinn
The Link wizard

The Link wizard makes it easier for you to create links.

First, you enter the text you want to appear on the link.

Then you enter the URL of the page you want to link to.

Then you can select which target to use, but targets are

normally only used in conjunction with FRAMES.

More information about FRAMES and targets can be found

in the Wilbur.hlp file.

Finally you can name the link, but it's rather uncommon.

You can use an image on the link instead of text. To do that

you press the "Use image for the link instead of text" button.

This will launch the Image wizard, where you will select an

image and set it's attributes. When you close the Image wizard

the code will be filled into the text field at the top of the

Link wizard.

You have to check the checkbox in front of every item

you wish to include, like in the Body wizard and Font wizard

for example.

The Link wizard supports "rightclick tag editing".


Margmiðlunar wizardinn
The Multimedia wizard

By using the Multimeda wizard, you can easily embed

MIDI, WAVE and AVI files to your pages.

First you select the file, then you can mess around

with the HEIGHT,WIDTH and BORDER properties.

At the bottom of the window, you can see a common

set of controls to play the file.


Meta wizardinn
The Meta wizard

META tags are usually the first tags inside the HEAD tag in HTML

documents.

The Meta wizard in EZPad makes it easier for you to declare the

author, keywords and description tags for your page.

In the "keywords" field you enter the keywords for your page,

for example what your page is about.  Keywords are used by

search engines.

In the description field you enter a short description of you page.

When a search engine finds you page, it displays your description

below the link. If you haven't got any description, the first sentences

on your page are used instead, but they might not always be

appropriate.

More information about the META tag can be found in the Wilbur.hlp file.


Table wizardinn
The Table wizard

Tables are one of the most complicated tags in HTML.

The Table wizard in EZPad 3.0 makes creating tables

alot easier. At the top of the window, you have the

properties panel where you can change all the attributes

of the table.

Below the properties panel is a simple grid, like you might

know from Microsoft Excel. You simply enter text into the

cells.

At the bottom of the page is a window which shows the

HTML code. If you check the "Update source" checkbox,

the source code is updated every time you make changes

to the table.

When you've finished designing the table, simply press the

"OK" button and the table source will be inserted at the

current caret position.
