We use hyperlinks to navigate the web - this should work the same when we compose pages for the web. In WebEdit, you can follow links in the source code the same way as in the browser:
If a link points to a resource other than an ASCII file, WebEdit asks Windows what to do with it. This way, you can quickly view embedded images in a browser or edit them in a graphics program, open a linked Zip file, or a test "mailto:" link (note that the button has a dropdown menu, letting you pick the program with which to open the link).
Inserting links (or any file references) is easy:
WebEdit's addressbar shows the full path or URL of the current document. You can enter a file name relative to the folder of the current document as well - WebEdit will convert this into an absolute path. Or enter the (relative or absolute) path of a folder to open it in the built-in file manager. Also, you can enter a URL pointing to a document on an FTP server. Or enter an HTTP location. The addressbar remembers all documents that you have opened in the current session:
Using Windows Favorites, you can link most anything. Make use of this, bookmarking your favorite documents or local folders. WebEdit lets you create new links in the favorites folder, and displays then in a TreeView:
One of the most compelling features of web browser is the history, allowing you to navigate back and forward. WebEdit has this feature built in; you can navigate several steps at once, too:
It's even better to maintain the history list for longer period of time. WebEdit breaks the tradition of only halfheartedly keeping the four most recently used file in the menu. Rather, it keeps a total history of all files or URLs opened, saving the last 50 entries on exit:
