ok I see, if you use css you need the preview effectively.
for my original need, edit simple html files, there are almost no css needed.
is there any javascript html editor out there that allows you to add any tag you want to the editor, like buttons, sliders, or forms ? this would be a ideal candidate to replace webdesign once embedded in an xojo htmlviewer windowā¦ 
In your HTML_Editor app, how do you get the styles toolbar to appear in the HTML tab?
This is what I see:
Iām still running MacOS 10.12 (Sierra). Maybe too old?
I have CS6 as well. It does not work on Ventura, the last macOS it works on is macOS 10.13.6.

Hi Michel,
True, and I mentioned that. However, is it not possible to run Windows apps in a virtual environment on a Mac? I know in the past it was possible, but with the rapidly changing markets, I am not sure if this is possible now.
Despite the fact I have been using coffeecup HTML editors for more than ten years, I didnāt know they had a free version. You see, we learn something new every day.
I am very satisfied with the Coffeecup HTML editor and like to use it. Within the editor, you can also upload directly to their own S-drive or any other hosting. Also, their customer support is outstanding!
I also have JetBrains Webstorms but use it rarely despite the fact it is an excellent app.
Indeed, it is possible to run Windows versions fairly easily with virtualization.
Personally, I use CrossOver to run BlueGriffon Windows under Ventura. The Mac version got broken by the new system.

I suppose you wanted to write Last version to run CS6 is Mojave 10.14.6 .
I have a PC-Windows (Lenovo) but I use it like I did with my iPad (to consult emails, surf on the web, and run my own CRC software because I go with it visit my clients).
And I prefer to work and develop (Xojo and website) on my MacBook Pro, Iām sad CoffeCup doesnāt work on Mac. I will try it on my PC-Windows and if I find it usefull, I will send an email to the author to ask if he has possibility to make a Mac version (I donāt know with which development tool he made CoffeCup).
@Pete_Totushek if you edit the html code to insert a button for example, then the changes are lost just after ā¦ the code view is may be read only ?
Heās using GraffitiEditor, which is a content editor and not a website designer. The HTML is sanitized to remove elements that arenāt explicitly supported, among those is the INPUT element.

You can apply custom CSS using the CustomCSS property of GraffitiEditor.
thatās why. thanks for the clarification Anthony.
and what is the base for GraffitiEditor ? ckEditor ?
SunEditor.

@Jean-Yves_Pochez If I remember right, the version with ckEditor does not remove those elements, and my quick test showed that to be the case. I just uploaded the ckEditor version here ā¦

This one is notarized and code signed. Also, do you or @Robert_Weaver still have display issues with this version? I saw Robertās issue when I tried downloading this version myself just now, and I had to move it to āApplicationsā to show the toolbar correctly.

Thanks Anthony. I remember playing with that, but decided to keep the CSS code separate and use a Preview window. I donāt remember exactly why, but I may re-visit that when I get a chance.
sorry canāt launch it on my 10.13.6 it needs 10.14 min
have to wait for my m2 macbook pro to arrive !
Sorry about that. I changed the minimum to 10.12 and re-uploaded to the same location as the above link. Can you try it again?
it still asks for 10.14 min. donāt waste time with this. itās not a big deal.
edit: I tried a ckEditor online, and it filters also my input tag test in the source code, like Graffiti
so I canāt use it. I tried some other editors and summernote seems to accept other tags than the main one. I will try to embed it in a xojo app.
Okay last try - I re-built it using the same version of Xojo that I built HTML_Editor with. Same link as above.
Also, ckEditorās default code view does strip out those elements, but it offers other options that I used in this app that will leave them in as well as options to title the page and other meta tags.

Beatrix, I didnāt see your message and Iām trying Expresso (before try CoffeCup on my PC-Windows). I have some questions as you know it:
- We canāt edit the preview right? Only the source code.
- If I rename a file of my folder which contains my website, Expresso does not scan all my files in that folder to see which one have link to this renamed file (page) and then automatically update the links?
I may have some others questions but I wonāt be at home tomorrow and will do some tests later.
