About the editors

PowerBuilder includes several editors for preparing HTML pages.

Table 1-3: Web target editors

Editor

Description

HTML editor

Provides views, which let you:

  • Edit in a WYSIWYG word-processing window (Page view)

  • Edit in a color-coded window of HTML tags and content (Source view)

  • Preview the page as it would appear in a browser (Preview view)

Script editor

Either standalone or integrated with an HTML or JSP page. The Script editors let you:

  • Write scripts for objects and events in the page

  • Save scripts in external files that you link to the page

Style Sheet editor

Either global, embedded, or inline (available from property sheets of elements and controls on your page). Style Sheet editors let you:

  • Create external style sheets, embedded styles, and inline styles

  • Edit styles in tabbed pages that hide style sheet syntax

  • View the output of editing from a Source tab

Frameset editor

Lets you define frames graphically and specify the HTML pages to display in the frames.
