Netview. Doing it this way will release you from all of the Synoptic's
limiting rules. I still use the synoptic editor to draw reagons, though
you could use anything with a graphic interface, such as Dreamweaver.

indeed... which is why I'm a bit confused now.<br>
 <br>
Rafe and Ozu,<br>
 <br>
are you suggesting the synoptic view can read more complex html than
what the synoptic editor generates?&nbsp; Or are you suggesting I should be
using the netview?<br>
 <br>
If the synoptic view can deal with more complex html, is there any
place I can get documentation as to what html tags it does and does not
implement?&nbsp; And for that matter, what parts of the DOM it exposes?<br>

Beware, the executable code behind the Synoptic is proprietary; it has
nothing to do with a standard html browser. The Synoptic is just using
a small subset of the html file format to store its stuff because it
was easier than inventing yet another file format.<br>
