While the SCRIPT tag is not directly available from a pull-down menu


While the SCRIPT tag is not directly available from a pull-down menu, you can use Navigator Gold’s capability to enter alternative HTML tags.
However, there is no easy way to enter a terminating /SCRIPT tag. It’s simpler to have the <SCRIPT> construction already embedded in your document.

Creating links with Navigator Gold is a snap, but there is no way


Creating links with Navigator Gold is a snap, but there is no way to add the event handler attributes, such as onMouseOver, that give JavaScript so much power. Links are also saved as absolute references, which have the full path- and filename.
So after you edit a document, you need to choose File and publish to resolve the absolute references.

If you have any links that have event handlers connected


If you have any links that have event handlers connected, the Navigator Gold editor tries to evaluate the handler’s functions but, because JavaScript code is not evaluated from within the editor, an error will be generated.

If you want to use an editor other than Navigator Gold


If you want to use an editor other than Navigator Gold, you can use one such as HoTMetaL, HotDog, or HTML Write. After you finish the basic layout of your page, however, switching between a simple editor such as NotePad or TextPad and your browser is a fast and efficient way to go.
It’s not much different from what most programmers go through: developing, editing, and compiling a program through an editor framework, then switching to another program to test, run, and debug it.

LiveWire Pro only works with Netscape’s Web servers


LiveWire Pro only works with Netscape’s Web servers which restricts the usefulness of LiveWire Pro to those platforms that run Netscape’s server software.
If you’re maintaining a Web site and want to incorporate server-side JavaScript, this is perfect-but it might be too much for an end-user working with his or her collection of pages.
