Customizing the Source Window Toolbar  
 

The toolbar at the top of the source editor window can be customized to suit your needs and tastes. When you choose Customize Toolbar... from the Browser menu, a sheet will open containing buttons and other items you can add by dragging them into the toolbar. While the customization sheet is open, you can rearrange items on the toolbar by dragging them around or remove items by dragging them out.

Source Window Toolbar items


Refetch Source

Like the Reload button in the browser window, clicking this item will refetch the HTML document from the server or disk it came from originally, destroying any changes you have made.


Save to Disk

Clicking this item will save the current source document to a locally mounted disk. If you haven't saved the document before, you will be prompted for a location and name to save it with.


Store to Server

Clicking this item will save the current source document to the server it originally came from, if possible. (See Saving Source for more info.)


Redisplay in Browser

Click this item to view the changes you've made to your HTML in a browser window -- this allows you to preview your changes without saving, and images, links, and forms will still work.


Compact HTML

Click this item to remove unnecessary white space from the HTML document. For large documents, this can improve download time for users.


Reformat HTML

When this item is clicked, extra newlines and tabs will be added to the HTML source so that it's easier to read and edit. (This doesn't affect its appearance in the browser.)


Colorize HTML

If automatic colorization is turned off in HTML Source View Preferences, you can click this item to manually colorize the HTML tags by type, making them easier to read and edit.


Print

Click this item to open the Print panel for printing the HTML source document.


Colors

Click this item to show the standard Colors panel. If you drag a color chip into the source editor, its HTML color code will be inserted.


Smaller Text

Click to decrease the size of text in the source view.


Bigger Text

Click to increase the size of text in the source view.


View Source

If Keep processed streams for viewing is checked in HTML Source View Preferences, this item allows you to choose between viewing the HTML received from the server and the HTML processed by OmniWeb's rendering engine.

These two versions of the document sound like they should be identical, and they often are. But some pages contain JavaScript scripts that cause the document to rewrite itself before being rendered -- viewing "as processed" allows you to see the HTML generated by such scripts.


Separator

Put this item between two others to visually separate them.


Space

Or put this item between to others to visually separate them.


Flexible Space

This item is like the Space item, but it expands to fill all available space on the toolbar -- so if you put any items to the right of it, they'll stick to the right-side edge of the toolbar.


Customize

Click this item to open the toolbar customization sheet.
