Download/HomepageUnder Construction 98, a powerful advanced HTML authoring program that
first hit the market last year -- now runs about twice as fast in its latest version, and
includes HTML 4.0 and DHTML support plus many more improvements. UC 98 has the
professional look, feel, and popular features of its higher-priced counterparts, but
doesn't take a big bite out of your drive space or your pocketbook. It's very
well-organized and set up to make newcomers feel welcome, while giving expert users a
fast-loading, workmanlike environment for serious web authoring.
I'm always impressed with a program that's more organized than I am, and Under
Construction 98 opens up with its Task Manager, from which you start a new project or
quickly locate work you've already saved. New pages can be created from scratch, or select
one the many supplied templates for a jump start. And, beginners can choose an HTML or
program tutorial. This version includes a new, more detailed Help file, plus Java
tutorial.
Its colorful user interface is tightly laid out with the ergonomic efficiency --
workspace, preview panel, toolbar banks, feature-set tabs are all neatly stowed where you
intuitively find what you want without really thinking about it. And toolbars have drag
and dock convenience. Under Construction 98 carries no excess baggage, and this version
(despite all the extra goodies it offers) takes up even less drive space than its
predecessor.
Under Construction 98 features an integrated preview window, a Web Page Assistant for
on-the-fly HTML tutorial and editing helps, document conversion , image thumbnail viewing,
tag highlighting and hints, built-in FTP support, wizards for creating tables, inserting
images, multimedia, objects, and more.
Included are a Stylesheet Maker, Animated GIF Maker, Web Page Wizard, --and over 70
JavaScript wizards, 20 Java applets, and 200 animated GIFs. You can use over 80
JavaScripts, available from the product web site, making it simple to add page functions
such as tickertapes, form-checking, and password protection. Under Construction also comes
with a complete reference guide for HTML, JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets.
Under Construction is an excellent web authoring toolset at a most excellent price. You
can try it free for 30 days, but JavaScript functions won't be available until you
register. A huge ClipArt Collection (about 6M worth, good stuff, too!) of over 700 images
is also available to registered users. Under Construction 98 is very well supported, with
both product information and web resource material available at the web site.
