common life with ie5

Post by Luoji »

Hello,

I set textpad as my html editor in internet explorer 5 but although it works if I click on the dedicated button, it still call null notepad when I right click on a page a select View source in the context menu. How can I set textpad as default editor for this command?

Many thanks in advance,

Kindly regards,

Luoji.

Hello Luoji

Unfortunately this is hard coded into IE5. One work around is to replace NotePad with TextPad using Txplink which you are welcome to download from our add-ons page:

There are a couple of versions of Txplink choose the one which suits your needs best.

Txplink (2000) does invoke Textpad in place of Notepad when you do a View Source in Internet Explorer, but is there a way to make the default style HTML? You can manually set the style in Doc Properties, but I couldn't automate it in a macro...

Thanks!
