The directory structure of your files directories should be arranged the same as they will be on your web server.

What is Top Dawg HTML Editor:

Top Dawg is a HTML editor designed to give control to the HTML author.  It requires that you learn some basic HTML to use it.  It automates the typing of HTML Tags.  Many HTML Tags are included.  Top Dawg will never add any line to your document that says anything like "Created with Top Dawg HTML Editor".  I hate programs that do this and will never in any of my versions do this.

HTML tags are added to your document by clicking on the appropriate button on the tool bar.  The tags are inserted around the current cursor location.  If you have text highlighted by dragging the cursor the highlighted text will have the tag inserted around it.  For further information on using Top Dawg please see the help file.

The W3C reccommends, in paragraph 1.2.1 of the HTML 4.0 specification that all element names be in uppercase letters and all attributes be in lower case.  Top Dawg has been designed to do this in all cases.  This requirement is for readability and uniformity.  All browsers are required to be case insensitive.
