As for replacing the arrows: the arrow image is a background property of the link inside the LI element. If you placed your gloss.png as the background of the LI element itself then it should work ok. Give it a try and report what you found here, okay?


looks like one background image is overwriting the other, will try some research. The arrows and shadows do not work now in the BETA so it might be something I am doing that is breaking both from showing up at the same time.

I tried using SSI but I'm having no luck. Is there something I'm missing? I created a seperate menu file as mentioned above, and calling it using the code above. I also included the following lines of code in my .htaccess file.

What needs to be included in the menu.html file? Should it include only the code for the menu, or all relevant HTML tags,
<html>, <head>, <body>
etc.?


Disregard. I renamed both the source and target .html files as .shtml, and everything works OK now.

Glossy buttons a possible work around.

In the CSS add:

background:url('../images/gloss.png') repeat-x ;


to the '.(whatever your menu name is) li a' class, (around line 21)

and add these two classes:

.arrow_down {
background:url('../images/arrows-ffffff.png') no-repeat -10px -100px;
}

.arrow_right {
background:url('../images/arrows-ffffff.png') no-repeat -10px -1px;
}


and in the HTML add:

<span class="arrow_right">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>
<span class="arrow_down">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>


to where ever you want the arrows to show up. I found that addid them after the menu text works best

eg:

<a href="#">Media Centre<span class="arrow_down">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></a>

One feature that would be really nice in the new release is to be able to have more than one Coffee Cup app up at the same time. With the existing release, if I use "Send To" or "Open With" on a file, it takes the place of the one that was currently in the editor.
But I commonly want to look at some prior html or css file and possibly copy/paste into the one I am currently working on. So it is necessary to open it up in notepad, where it is then hard to find things without the familiar Coffee Cup text colors and formatting.

Been using it all week .... finished a small site with just the new code ... and I love it. One question - The documentation on 'My Websites' shows a dropdown at the top displaying the project name .... looks very handy - but I don't have it. Did I miss something?

I am using this pre-release right now, and am liking it a lot. I have one tiny little annoyance (so far). I want the line numbers to stay ON, and whenever I switch between two open files, the line numbers go away. I know I can toggle them on again, but it is a nuisance, especially when I am selecting text to replace.

Thanks for a great product! This is, and will continue to be, my html editor of choice.

The documentation is probably a few versions behind. The final release has everything in sync now. We were making changes to the software faster then our writer could keep up with ;)

Line numbers are controlled by page but If you want them to be always on, go to the Tools Menu > Preferences > Customization > Modify Options and check "Line numbers in gutter".

I frequently have several programs open with the HTML Editor, and if necessary, I open other programs as well. As an example of having multiple programs open, I can build a photo gallery, and copy the code into the HTML editor.
