Integrated Web Browser

The integrated web browser is new to CSE HTML Validator Professional v4.50 and requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v4.0 or greater. You can access the integrated web browser from the View menu or by pressing F8.

You can use the integrated web browser to:

Preview your HTML documents - See how your HTML documents look in Internet Explorer. Simply activate preview mode by depressing the P toolbar button. You can even preview your documents while you work on them by having the preview be automatically refreshed. To have HTML Validator automatically refresh the web browser preview while you work, make sure that the option to do this is checked in the Editor Options.
Browse the web - Browse the web using the integrated web browser. The source for the document being displayed is shown in an editor tab and can be easily validated. As you navigate through the web, you can also have the source automatically validated after each page is loaded. To do this, make sure that this feature is checked in the Editor Options. Using the integrated editor is a great way to check a web site with dynamic pages such as those made by ASP, CFML, or PHP scripts.

Notes

When using the integrated web browser to view web sites using frames, only the source code of the frameset document may display. This is normal behavior and may be improved in the future. To view the source of the framed documents, you must navigate directly to the framed document and not to the frameset document. One way you can do this is by navigating to the frameset document, validating the document, selecting the Links tab in the Results Window, bringing up the popup menu for the link that you want to view, and selecting Open Link in Browser.
If you find that the browser is switching the page that it is viewing unexpectedly, then you may be in preview mode when you don't want to be. To exit preview mode, click the P toolbar button. See below for more information about preview mode.

Definitions

Preview mode displays the document that you are working on in the integrated web browser. When you switch the document that you are editing by selecting a different tab, the web browser is automatically updated to preview the selected document. When not in preview mode, the web browser acts more like a normal web browser and does not change when you select different documents to edit.
