Welcome to HotDog 4.5
- a new dimension in HTML editing -
& the sounds are back too

  HotDog 4.5 dramatically chnages the way that web pages will be built in the future by being the first HTML Editor to untilize the power of HTML Property Sheet editing.


The HTML Property Sheet presents to you all the tags and attributes used on the Internet. This means you can create web pages with the power of the entire HTML language behind you.

For the beginner, the HTML property sheet offers fun and easy experimentation - unfamiliar with an attribute? - just put a value in it and see how it effects your web page. With this sort of practice it will only be a short time until you become familiar with the entire HTML language. The HTML property sheet is periodically updated by sausage software to ensure that you have access to the latest devolpments in HTML.

For the user who wants their web pages to look great in every browser, the HTML property sheet also presents the tags and their attributes to you in a list. For example, the TABLE tag is listed with all the known attributes sorted by different browsers. The result is you can determine easily which attributes to use in which tag to optimise the look of your web page for the most people.

Please check out "HTML Property Sheet" on the "Help" pull down menu to learn more about the HTML Property Sheet
