JavaScript Support in HTML Rename!
HTML Rename!® 2.1 adds support for JavaScript, including support
for JavaScript rollovers generated by Macromedia® Dreamweaver®
and Macromedia® Fireworks®. HTML Rename! will find and replace
all literal URLs in JavaScript code, including the following JavaScript
constructs:
- document.write("<img src='literal_URL'")
- Image1_Off.src = "literal_URL"
- remote.location.href = "literal_URL"
- window.open("literal_URL","win2","width=335, height=300, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes")
- CSInit[CSInit.length] = new Array(CSILoad, 'btn1', 'literal_URL1',
'literal_URL2', 'literal_URL3', ' ')
- <input type="button" value="Contents" onClick="location='literal_URL'">
- <a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('ourstory','','literal_URL',1)">
HTML Rename! does not support URLs which are built up using variables
and string concatenation, such as:
var number = 23
X.src='img' + number + '.gif'
- New remove orphans command
- New single dialog interface alternative to wizard dialogs
- Fix links and verify links now have distinct paths
- Reorder processing steps to report broken links before modifying
files
- New report of file sizes and estimated download times
- User configurable file extension conversions
- User configurable server default names
- Recognize ./ syntax in URLs
- Recognize tags with URLs in single quotes and with no quotes
- Change URLs even in files whose upstream links are broken
- Parse '?' parameter arguments correctly
- Added support for
<input name="redirect" value="url">
- Better file handling for non-English web pages
- Change beta evaluation period
- Remove tppabs test
- Report view uses fixed width font by default
- New "Site" menu

- Consistent "Browse" icons
- Fixed path length problems for paths > 128 characters on
Mac
- Added resize grips to resizable dialogs
- Fix CR/LF conversion bug
- Update Expandable Language® contact information
- Note: v1.20 was a limited release. v1.21 is the first
major public release since v1.10.
- Fixed a bug which sometimes substituted invalid directory paths
when updating links for relative URLs
- Fixed bugs in updating links in files with
<base href="URL">tags
- Fixed a bug which sometimes missed the end of a comment tag
(and thus ignored valid tags until the end of the next comment
tag)
 |
- Option to convert local links to relative or absolute URLs
- Choice of uppercase or lowercase for all target filesystems
- Recognize text files with the ISO-8859-1 extended character
set used in many Latin-alphabet-based European languages (the
<meta http- equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">tag must be included in the head
of the file)
- Expanded recognition of HTML files -- any file with
<HTML>and
<HEAD>tags are seen as HTML files, regardless
of the filename extension
- Windows NT only: found a workaround for an NT-specific file
query bug which caused frequent crashes
- Fixed a bug in renaming URLs of form:
<a href="http:../Content1.html">
- Fixed a bug in renaming URLs of form:
<a href="directoryname/">;
a "ServerDefaultFile" setting in the Preferences/INI file defaults
to "index.html" but can be changed manually
- Changed tag/attribute handling so that the following attributes
are always searched for URLs: "href", "src", "background", "codebase",
"action", "usemap", "dynsrc", "lowsrc", "tppabs"
- Handle multiple of URLs in one tag (e.g., img src & lowsrc)
- Under Windows 95 & Windows NT 4.0, the taskbar icon no longer
disappears when the wizard dialog pops up.
- Fixed crash when clicking the "Edit" button in the "Verify Filenames"
dialog and no file is selected
- Set default focus to the list box in the "Verify Filenames"
and "Verify ASCII Line End Conversions" dialogs so you can immediately
use the arrow keys to navigate it
- Enable toggling the checkbox state in the list boxes of the
"Verify Filenames" and "Verify ASCII Line End Conversions" dialogs
by pressing the space bar
- Set the default button to "Edit" in the "Verify Filenames" dialog
so pressing the <Return> key now brings up the "Rename File"
dialog for the file selected in the list box
- Double clicking on a list box entry in the "Verify Filenames"
dialog now brings up the "Rename File" dialog
- The "Rename File" dialog's character entry is improved for 8.3
targets
- Macintosh only: the application's preferred size has been increased
from 2000K to 4000K (this should prevent the application from
crashing when larger Web sites (> 400 files) are processed)
- The "Register" applications have been updated with this release
- The "report_of_external_refs.html" file is removed if a site
has no external URLs
- Incorrect reporting of link renaming has been improved in this
scenario: a filename's case is changed and a tag's URL already
matches that changed case
|
- Added support for URLs in client-side image maps:
<img
usemap="URL">
- Added support for other tag/attribute pairs (see full list above)
- Can now convert filenames to all upper case or all lower case
- Ignore text in HTML comments:
<!-- Comment to ignore
-->
- Option to open the report using an external text editor (prompts
for the external text editor when report is greater than 32k bytes
long)
- Report the existence of file errors, HTML syntax errors, unresolved
links, and unused files at the top of the report
- Updated icons
- Minor modifications to text in dialogs
- Fixed Macintosh version so the license text appears on initial
launch
- Launch Web browser when click on "Register online..." button
- Changed URL for online registration
- On Macintosh, fixed wizard dialog size for different installed
fonts
- Name change from "Rename!" to "HTML Rename!"
|
- Wizard interface
- Choice of ISO 9660, DOS, Windows 95/NT, Macintosh, or UNIX filename
conversion
- Batch process web site to update links to match the new filenames
- Report of changes made, broken links, and external links
