Switching to Website Projects is like switching to a new toothpaste — it takes a bit to get used to, but after awhile you wouldn't dream of using anything else. To help make the transition process smoother, we put together a document that gives step-by-step instructions for how to use the My Websites tool and put it right in the HTML Editor. Just go to My Websites > All Website Projects > What is a Website Project. Not only does it explain how Website Projects work, it actually is a Website Project, so you can poke around and explore the structure for yourself.

I uninstalled my old version(thankfully I backed the whole thing up on an external drive); I uploaded the link you gave me above and something is wrong.

The yellow line across the top indicates it is a trial version even though I am a registered owner. The "All Website Projects brings up a blank square...No What is a Website Project and none of my existing projects.

Also, when I go to open an existing project from before this upload, it has the name but non of the files. Do I have to transfer all the files that I backed up into this new version or what?

The most important thing to me is whether the WYSIWYG editor works now without scrambling the code.

When you go from the code editor to the visual editor, it will modify all your code to use absolute positioning so that you can use all the drag and drop features. Once you start using the visual editor, it is not recommend that you go back to the code editor. Think of the software as two programs in one. If you do go back and forth, your site will display still just fine, but the code will be a bit different.

Very cool, I'm really liking this preview. Hope it won't stop working after 30 days because I'm a registered HTML Editor user. Also, just wondering if we'll see room for more than just 8 applications in the Tools pulldown, because I have lots of CC apps I'd like to have available from w/in the editor. Hmm, can't find an option to keep the Resource Browser minimized on startup.

This version is just a 30 day trial, but we will have the full version released before it times out. When it is live, just go to http://www.coffeecup.com/help/myorders to download the latest version.

Sorry, but for now we are only allow up to 8, but I will see if we can increase that maybe to 10.

Been using CoffeeCup HTML from the beginning so the consistent and frequent upgrades, updates, improvements, innovations, etc are not a surprise. That being said, never fails to amaze me, like "Why didn't I think of that!" Thanks again to all my great caffeine addicted brothers and sisters in Texas!

This is a prerelease version, not the official release which is why you see the yellow banner. The full version will be available pretty soon. Yes, make sure you have all your project files moved to a safe location. Then inside of the new version, just go to "Open Website Project" and it will find all the files for you.

Question:

Since I purchased the HTML 2008 - is this considered an update? I downloaded and installed the pre release version - but it was not clear to me if this was a trial to purchase or an update. I installed it on an external hard drive as I was fearful of uninstalling the 2008 version before I looked at this. Can someone clarify this for me. Thanks, Lu Cregar
