I highlight a word or words, go to the "open URL" Service from OmniWeb and the page that is displayed is the search results on the selected text in the other program. Another Service is OmniWeb's "open URL" which lets you highlight a URL in a document and open that address in OmniWeb.īut combining the google shortcut I made for OmniWeb with it's "open URL" feature, I have a search google Service in Rhapsody. For Rhapsody for Intel I use DigitalWEBster which has both a dictionary and thesaurus lookup feature. One of the first versions of OmniDictionary was a service which would take you to the dictionary page in OmniWeb of the word you had selected.

I just do! They are a great idea which I wish more developers would take advantage of in Mac OS X. It makes a nice difference in how things look on my system.

One of the first things I usually do in OmniWeb when I first install it on Rhapsody systems is to change the default font to Helvetica and turn on antialiasing. Fortunately, OmniWeb for Rhapsody can do the same thing. In Mac OS X, almost every browser displays it's text in an antialiased form.
How pages look in a browser has a lot to do with how people receive the contents of the pages. I set up a shortcut such that any time I type my search words in OmniWeb's address field I get back a google search result page for those words.

I, personally, don't take full advantage of this feature (bookmarks work fine for me), but one area I do use this is for google searches. It is now becoming a standard feature on browsers these days, but OmniWeb had shortcuts way back in 1997/98. You can also check out more info on your bookmarks using the bookmark inspector. You can set this feature to run in the background to check your bookmarks at specific intervals. OmniWeb watches bookmarks for you to see if they have been updated. The following series of images is one such page. A quick find and replace in the source editor and then redisplay the page makes the page viewable again. I have, at times, come across older pages which have bad graphics links where I know what the correct links should be. I can alter the code of a page (even pages off the web) and redisplay them with all the graphics and link preserved even to see how the changes effect the page. It also lets you try out ideas without committing to them first. The colors are set in the preferences (as seen below). One of the nice features about OmniWeb's source editor is that it applies colors to elements in the code and it warns you of errors that it spots while you are writing (like orphaned tags).
This is not just for previewing the pages (which, of course, it does), but I also make changes or additions to the HTML coding using OmniWeb's source editor. The one I depend on the most next to Create is OmniWeb. Which is another way of saying that I used other tools. This site is mainly created in Stone Design's Create. As the only native browser for NEXTSTEP, OPENSTEP and Rhapsody, OmniWeb had the potential to succumb to lack of competition.įortunately, the Omni Group put a ton of effort into OmniWeb, and it shows in the Rhapsody/OPENSTEP version (3.x).
