Editing an X+ html setup sheet that has already been created

[Thad]

Sometimes I want to add some more notes, or fix something in a setup sheet after I've created it. In the past, I would open it in IE6, View-Source, make my changes and then save. I have just updated to IE8 and I no longer have the option to edit the source. I can view it, but can't edit. Firefox has never allowed me edit. Is there a way to edit the source in IE or do I have to open it in Word/Notepad and make my edits there?

I open it in word, the only thing is that the tool icons will need to be re sized.

Firefox will let you open and edit HTML source.

I dont know if this is new or not.

I'm not at work so I cant try it myself till tomorrow.

in Firefox , install the Firebug extension to edit HTML pages

 

works great you can see your change on the fly on the X+ page

I've installed Firebug and it seems to be quite a bit more than I need...but it works. I'd like it better if when saving, it defaulted to the folder that I opened the .htm file in. With customer, job, detail, machine, etc, the paths can get long. Thanks, Martin.

 

pip, I'd like to hear some more of your input on using Firefox to make the edits.

 

Peter, if clicking the path to save every time gets too annoying, that's my last resort. I'm still using X2 so I either have the tool icons disabled, or they weren't around in the older version.

 

Anyone else?
