HomeSite begins by covering the standard set of must-have features necessary for any HTML editor to be competitive in this extremely crowded marketplace. Complete HTML 4 support, wizards for advanced HTML programming (including frames, tables, style sheets, and project upload wizards), integrated FTP support, word wrap, support for long filenames, right mouse button functionality, inline color coding, and support for tags specific to Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x and Netscape 4.x are just the beginning of what this editor-deluxe has to offer its users.
Less than a year ago, enhanced features like multiple file find and replace (extended replace), project management, quick and efficient inline spell checking, a 'document list' view for quick access to Web files and projects, full screen editing capabilities, support for both inline and external Web browsing, multiple level Undo, HomeSite Tips, and extensive on-line help would have been enough to vault HomeSite to the top of its class.
Today, if this were the extent of its capabilities, HomeSite would fare no better than other HTML editors that have quickly been rendered obsolete by the ever-improving trio of NetObjects Fusion, HotDog Professional, and Microsoft FrontPage. HomeSite, however, escapes the fate of its brethren by offering all of the above great features and many, many more.
