Last week I decided join Windows2000 Beta 3 program and when I just clicking the order form after several steeps the Microsoft server displayed a banner reporting an internal error in my IE5. I verified the same error when I tried update this browser from Windows Update. All programs I tried update was crashed my IE5 with the same banner from Dr. Watson. I examined my system because I'm testing here Neoplanet Technologies Preview but have not any error inside this one! Also I've crashed on Elton Marks web site because his Flash from Macromedia. Sunday May 02 I received an inform about the new HotDog 5.5 and I decided download it. Fortunatelly I'm GetRight rergistered user because the download of this 8,9MB was resumed 53 times!!!! Finally, when I installed the new HotDog and started it the origin of IE5 crashes is just discovered! It's an obsolotte MS Java .dll. I updated quickly my JVM and now I'm surfing fine with my IE5 with the HotDog help!

More Details in HotDog Overview.
Split-view Editing
After researching several Web page creation techniques it was found that Live Document Rendering is a better way to create Web pages. The more common WYSIWYG approach tends to hide code from authors, leading them to believe that what they see is what their audience will see, which is often not the case. Professional Webmasters generally find that Live Document Rendering gives them full control over their source code while still providing them with a visual representation in real-time of their eventual Web page.
* Live Document Rendering via ROVER (Real-time Output ViewER), gives authors an authentic representation of the page being edited in real-time.
* Browse the Web in the on-the-fly preview window, download any remote page being viewed and open the source in a new editor document.
* Custom settings for in-line browser size (640, 800, 1024 or custom).
* Rulers make it simple to see which page elements are aligned to which part of the page, and aid in the debugging process.
Multimedia Manager
Webmasters rapidly collect large amounts of media files that they use throughout their sites. This great new interface brings HotDog-based control to large groups of multimedia.
* A new thumbnail preview component to quickly browse directories for images, animations and sounds.
* Free clipart from XOOM makes it simple to grab images and start creating pages from scratch.
HotDog ImageLab
Once images are created, they need to be optimized for the Web.
* Preview images and check them for prospective download times.
* Convert images to GIF or JPEG with side by side comparison of changes between old and new images on the fly.
MultiLine Clipboard
* A new configurable clipboard buffer where up to 100 groups of text or code can be dragged for later use.
* All clipboard groups can be easily exported to HotDog Macros .
Thumbnail Page Creation Wizard
* Point this wizard at a folder full of images and instant tables full of thumbnail links are created, without the need for time consuming cataloging.
Revamped Registration Process
* New, easier to use Registration Process makes it simple to register HotDog Professional 5 Webmaster Suite with a minimum of fuss.
