Introduction
Site Content Editor™ (SCE) v 5.5 is a universal authoring tool and provides the best
possible HTML Web content-editing solution in a truly WYSIWYG (what you see is what
you get) fashion. It does not require technical expertise, HTML knowledge, and the use
of FTP or a database (Figure: 1-1).
Site Content Editor™ (SCE) v 5.5 is fast and robust. It offers a lot of powerful features
and context-sensitive buttons. Its intuitive and easy to use interface can simplify the
authoring process such as site management, design view editing, tag view scripting,
CSS editing, DHTML support, asset storage, and template creation.
Its HTML Viewer feels a lot like working with Microsoft® Word. If you are familiar with
the word document interface, you will feel right at home. Its Source Viewer can be
used for inserting scripts and tags, and is best suited for experienced authors.
SCE has a lot of capabilities. Beside formatting and styling content, SCE offers you the
flexibility to wirte scripts and you can also:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
create hyperlinks, image/file downloads
extend commands with a right-mouse click
open and save Web page content files on your local computer
retain the formatting of Microsoft® Word documents
support special characters
support Cascading Styles Sheets (CSS) editing
support Dynamic HTML (DHTML) scripting
and more...

Background
We Have Removed the Barriers of Content Editors
We are continually improving this great product as our development team has developed it
from the ground up. Our SCE was originally created in JavaScript and ASP and was converted
to C++ code during its second release. Utilizing Microsoft® ActiveX® technology, it is now
completely client-based and is a one-time download. It is also fully authenticated and secured
by VeriSign® .
We wish to provide our customers with the best possible Web content-editing solution without
sacrificing its flexibility.
• SCE anytime, anywhere! - SCE can be installed on a new website or it can be added to any
existing websites regardless of the site’s programming language or website hosting
environment! (some additional programming charge might apply depending on the site
language.) Can any other Web content editing tools do that? (Please note that Microsoft®
IE 5.5+ is required for SCE Client to function in the Update Mode.)
• Licensing Issue resolved! - There is no licensing issue with our SCE as the license is URLcontrolled. This has always been a problem with ”off-the-shelf” JavaScript and/or ASP
based Web-editing tools because often FTP access cannot be granted due to the licensing
policies that restrict the free distribution of source code.
• Automatic Upgrades are free - Any SCE upgrades are automatically distributed to all licensed
users at no additional cost. In contrast, upgrades to ”off-the-shelf” JavaScript and/or
ASP based Web-editing tools require chargeable programming time, as each Web site must
be updated manually. This is a common problem with sites which are supported by Web
content editors embedded in the site’s source code. Only a small percentage of them are
ever upgraded with new functionality, which might be offered over time with these tools, due
to high cost.
• File Size and Load Time have been decreased - Certain functionality available within our SCE
(e.g., invoke the selection menu with a right-mouse click) cannot be replicated due to the
limitations of JavaScript and ASP languages. Other functionality, when implemented in
JavaScript and/or ASP based Web-editing tools, would simply enlarge the file size thus
considerably increasing load time.
• It’s more Efficienct with greater Security - The execution time is much faster because our
SCE code is compiled. Unlike JavaScript and/or ASP languages which are interpreted and
embedded in the source files, the compiled code provides a smaller file size, increased
download efficiency, and greater security.
• You don’t have to do anything to always have the Latest and Greatest Features! - We can
easily upgrade the SCE : our “in-house developed” tool. For your benefit, you will always
have the “latest and greatest” features and will never miss out on any important, valuable,
and new additions. All of these are distributed to you at no additional cost. In our
experience, the best support is most likely to come from tool creators, not integrators.

Getting Started with SCE is Easy!
On the first use of SCE, you must initialize the client ActiveX controls and plug-ins on your
local computer. Any subsequent upgrade from an earlier SCE version is automatically
distributed to all licensed users at no additional cost.
Click Yes in order for the SCE to function.
To initialize SCE correctly on your local computer, verify the permissions which you can set
through your Internet browser security settings. Here, the question is “how do I check the
security settings in the Internet Explorer browser?”
Open up your Internet Explorer (IE) browser and you need to do the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
From the menu bar, select Tools.
From the drop-down menu, select Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click Custom Level (Figure: 1-2).
Check the following radio buttons (Figure: 1-3):
•
•
•
•
•
Download signed ActiveX controls: Enable
Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Prompt
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: Disable
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Enable
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting: Enable
Then SCE is ready for use in your Admin Panel.
All the HTML Web pages are supported by the SCE. SCE follows the rules as specified in the
HTML DTD. In order to conform to the W3C standard and to ensure that your HTML Web
content pages use the tags correctly, SCE inserts the tags for you.

SCE Download
At any time, the current version of SCE is automatically distributed to all licensed users.
Provision of SCE upgrades is offered at no additional cost.
Once installed successfully, SCE saves the editor.cab file (in the aka zip file format) to
the Temp Directory on your local computer workstation. This cab file determines if you
have the current version of SCE. Any subsequent upgrade from an earlier SCE version
is automatically downloaded to you without human intervention.
Then, the editor.cab file is self-extracted to the following file formats.
• Editor.inf contains the instructions and sources for installing the editor.ocx.
• Editor.ocx is dependent on the following files below:
- mfc42.dll (Microsoft foundation class dynamic link library)
- atl.dll (active template link dynamic link library)
- Triedit.dll (located at c:\Program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\triedit)
- VBScript.dll (located at c:\windows\system32\)

Release 5.5 Notes for Microsoft® Users
Our Site Content Editor™ (SCE) runs on Microsoft® Windows® 98, 2000, 2003, ME and XP.
Due to the fact that Microsoft® Office has a number of unwanted specific markup tags
embedded in Microsoft® Office 2000, you will need to save word documents using Edit ->
Copy as HTML. Also, use the Microsoft® ‘Office HTML Filter’ and Microsoft® ‘Office 2000’ plugins to safely remove them.
Please download them from the Microsoft® Office 2000 website Download Center at:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Msohtmf2.aspx
For more instructions please check out the following Microsoft® links:
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000/htmlfilter.aspx
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000/oRemoveMarkup.aspx
Microsoft® Office XP users must use its built-in HTML Filter. Please refer to the Microsoft®
Office XP documentation for more details.
After installation, you can utilize SCE v 5.5 features in a truly WYSIWYG fashion.
General Notes
• Our Site Content Editor™ (SCE) is based on an advanced technology, which is not supported
by Apple® or Netscape®. The back-end of your Web site - Admin Panel - will function with
Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher only. The front-end functionality is not
affected at all, as it is not browser or operating system dependent.
• For those who use a Microsoft® Office version earlier than version 2000, please follow the
following steps to remove Microsoft® Office specific tags:
1) Copy your Web page content from Microsoft® Word into Microsoft® Notepad
2) Transfer from Microsoft® Notepad to the SCE HTML Viewer
3) Format the Web page content inside SCE

•
All HTML Web pages are attached to a cascading style sheet in your project. The style sheet
can be one that you define, one that you are given, one that you re-define or one that you
import into the project.
Formatting with HTML
You can influence the appearance of any HTML Web page without linking to a style sheet.
Using SCE HTML Viewer, you can see how using the Tool bar is an easy way to apply HTML
formatting properties and styling attributes for the following elements: text, color, special
characters, paragraphs, numbered and bulleted lists, and tables.
Working with Tables
You can control many aspects of a table’s appearance such as: structure and border,
alignment, background, dimension and positioning. You can apply changes to an entire table,
or to different parts of a table such as rows, columns, or cells.
Providing Navigation
You will see how you can easily provide navigation to URLs, e-mail address, multimedia, and
HTML Web pages that are already in the project. Similarly, you can also link to internal or
external bookmarks.
To produce more hyperlink effects and interactive appearances, use two images and there are
2 methods: (1) the rollover-image effect and (2) use thumbnail-image effect.
Inserting Images and Files
By using images, you can add interest and explanation to your HTML Web pages.
By adding files to your HTML Web pages, you can provide user accessibility to more online
information.
Writing Scripts
Recent innovations in Web page known as Dynamic HTML (DHTML) have greatly increased
interactivity in response to user actions.
If you are familiar with scripts, SCE’s value-added flexibility surely offers a fun and easy way
to insert HTML tags and DHTML scripts. SCE offers you a much more fulfilling elaborate
experience.
Blank Template
You will see how this user-defined option can be a big bonus to you. As an experienced author,
you can create your own logo/banner graphic and navigation menu.
