WebWorks Tips

  1. You can use the Viewer to browse a folder and then drag and drop files from the view to WebWorks to open them. Press CTRL + B to open a new viewer and type the path to your homepage's folder, for instance "C:\myhomepage\", and press enter. Now you can drag files from the view and drop them in WW to open them.
  2. When you´ve started writing a html command you can press CTRL + SPACE and the html command will automaticly be completed. If it doesn´t work the command is probably missing in the file commands.txt in your WebWorks direktory. Add it on a new line in that file and it will work.
  3. You can view and edit hexadecimal colors by selecting the colorcode starting with #, clicking the right mousebutton and "Select color...".
  4. Did you know that WebWorks can be used as a Java editor? You can specify the path to a java compiler and compile your java applets direktly from WebWorks by pressing CTRL + D.
  5. Select the starting body-tag in a document and click the body button to edit the body settings.
  6. Save frequently used code snippets as an own command by clicking the right mousebutton and selecting "Own Commands" --> "Add Own Command".
  7. Did you know that you can search (and replace) in multiple documents in WebWorks?
  8. In WebWorks you can sort the rows in a selected text either rising or falling. Just rightclick and select "Sort".
  9. By selecting a link or image in a document, right-clicking and then selecting "View ..." in the top of the menu, the link or image will be viewed.
  10. You can get a color directly from an image in WebWorks. Bring up the color selector by either right-clicking and then "Select color..." or by doubleclicking in a color texbox on any of the Webworks tools. Then you click "Get color from picture..." and select a picture.
  11. If you select a word or a piece of text in a document and press F3 you can do a quick search for the selected text.
  12. Always put your pictures in the same or a sub folder (recommended) to your html files. By doing so the links and pictures will always work (if you don't write the full path of course).
  13. You can select a web-safe color by clicking the "Get color from picture..." button on the color tool and then selecting the picture webworks\help\images\safecolors.gif.
