A great piece of software for web design but it's short on a few features to make it useful for websites of more than a few pages.

IMHO it really needs the following features:
> A global search and replace
> Styles that can be applied to multiple objects which can then be changed to affect changes throughout the site (e.g. font size, type)
> A CSS or DHTML menu generator like NetObjects.
> A site view where you can view, move, edit, delete selected pages.
> A usage timer that tells you when to go to bed! It is so much fun that it's 2am before I know it.

I've been using NetObjects Fusion for a couple of years and although it has some great features (Site Syles, Navbar generator, CSS editor) it just doesn't seem to ever work properly.

Keep up the great work guys. Show the world that Canadians kick ***!

Yes a longer drop down 'page' box would be very handy on those larger projects

Also when you change the page order, it would be lovely to be able to see all the pages listed as opposed to scroll bars making moving pages a tad tricky

Oh yes please! Often i decide to change from say Trebuchet to Georgia and currently go text box to text box manually!

You can resize the Page Order window using normal Windows click & drag techniques.

i erroneously assumed as there was no (unsure how you say) 'bobbles' to show the corner can be dragged, that you couldn't drag it...

thanks for that, a great help indeedy! Smile
