Looking For Mozilla

[yankeeharp]

Hi,
I used to use Mozilla's html editor to write my pages. I need to set it up on another computer but have been unable to locate it on the web to download. Would anyone here know where I can find it?

Thanks.

Charlotte,

That program has gone through a few name changes. Currently Kompozer

http://kompozer.sourceforge.net/

And here for a list of html editors including the above:

P.S. I see Pete's post. To clarify, the composer module inside Seamonkey has been exported to a standalone html editor: It has gone through a couple of namechanges along the way. Nvu was the best known and Kompozer was a bug fix for it. Both are no longer being developed and a new version, once again named Composer is promised that will be based on Gecko 1.9 engine. Confused? I know I am.

Perhaps Seamonkey is the best way to go with it in the near term.

Look here for an explanation:

Charlotte, I believe what you want is SeaMonkey 1.1.7 (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/).

That's it. Thanks. It works great. :-)

Thanks. I had already dl'ed compozer and was working with it happily when I came back to make my thanks. The site, the program, worked fine so I may as well stay with it.

I've been using KompoZer for some time now, and I am a believer. I recently switched from the MO of saving all edited HTML files locally and then FTP-ing up to the Web host, but I have learned how to accept KompoZer's offer to "publish." That enables KZ's FTP client, and the editing and uploading all take place from the same application!

I do download the entire Web site from the host to a local hard drive now and then, just as a backup.

Yankeeharp,

Glad to help. I like it too. As I read the latest blurbs, it looks like there will be a new version "any day now" and it will revert to the original name of "Composer."

Meanwhile KZ works just fine for me.

Hi, all,

'Tis me again.

I used kompozer you recommended at source forge successfully, and then got another computer so I didn't need it. Now, I would like to reinstall it back on my stick but it won't execute. I get an error message saying it can't find a file -- which I can see is on the stick -- because it is looking on the public computer. I'll try to post a screen grab of the error message, but it it doesn't come through it's at http://yankeeharp.googlepages.com/kompozererror.gif

I dl'ed it directly to the stick and opened it, I thought, exactly the same way I did last time. Anybody have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks again.

My installation of KZ put js3250.dll in the program folder, so copying that entire folder over to a flash drive should still let it work. In fact, that DLL is used by Firefox and Thunderbird too, and appears in each of THEIR folders. The FF and TB versions are newer.

My installation of KZ put js3250.dll in the program folder, so copying that entire folder over to a flash drive should still let it work.It should, but it's clear from Charlotte's error message that something is hunting for that file on her C drive. So installing on the flash drive should cure that.

It should, but it's clear from Charlotte's error message that something is hunting for that file on her C drive. So installing on the flash drive should cure that.
I wonder if she is starting it from a Shortcut that still references C: somehow? Charlotte, can you look into the Shortcut's "Properties" windows?

Googling for js3250.dll turned up this confusing thread (http://anothermonkey.blogspot.com/2007/01/computers-bloody-computers-firefox-and.html) in which a number of people reported problems with Firefox reporting that it could not load js3250.dll and it turned out that they had some malware (virus/trojan/worm) on their machine. One symptom shared by some was that they had a file named C:\Windows\System32\ipv6monl.dll which is malware IMPORTANT: not to be confused with C:\Windows\System32\ipv6mon.dll which is a necessary Windows file. Other people had the files "msktns.dll" and "msdtexch.dll", which are known virus files, also in the System32 directory. They claimed that deleting those files fixed the problem.

You might try looking in the System32 directory for those files. But whether or not they are there, it sounds like a common symptom of various malware infections, some of which are very hard to remove.

If you can be sure that the program files on the stick are ok, you could try running it on a different computer to satisfy yourself that the problem really is on the computer and not on the stick. Cleaning up an infection on the computer, if that's what it is, could be a big issue that I will leave for others to talk about -- I've finally solved problems like that by abandoning Windows in favor of Mac OS and Linux.

I think you need to DL the new version and unzip it and install it on the stick. Right now the one you have is trying to find things on your C drive. I dl'ed kompozer to my stick. Should I dl it to the desktop and then install to the stick? Hmm... one way to find out...
Tempus fugit....
And the same thing happens. I put it on the desktop, then moved it to the stick, overwriting the one on the stick, and it performs just as it does when I put it directly to the stick.

I can see it sitting there as E:\kompozer-0.7-win32 . I dbl-click that and it open KompoZer 0.7.10 File Folder. Dbl-clikking that gives me a screen-long list of files, one of which is kompozer.exe and another of which is js3250.dll. I click on kompozer.exe, which I am assuming is the correct file to click on, and I get the same error message that is want to look on the library's hard drive. I dl'ed it from the library originally. Perhaps I should try to re-install it from another computer?


I also tried to dl it to the desktop, unzip it on the desktop, which works, move kompozer.exe to the stick and I then get a similar error message --

Don't look for the regular Kompozer, instead try the portable apps version, which is designed to work on sticks, usb, cf, etc.

By chance does the first name you listed have a "ZIP" icon? Programs often don't run well from the ZIPped file. Look at the Title Bar of the window that displays the KompoZer 0.7.10 File Folder. If that is an un-ZIP window, choose "Un-zip All" or "Extract All" from the menu so that you have access to the expanded files, not their compressed versions.

It was a zipped archive as you said, and I unzipped it, not so much because you suggested it but because the program prompted me when I went to open it. So that worked. Why it didn't do the same thing when dl'ing from the public computer, I'll never know. Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions and moral support during this trying time :-).

Hello again all,

My Kompozer, version 0.7.10, has served me well for these several years, but now it is beginning to get wonky. It doesn't like me switching between tabs and sometimes it will get lost and if I click "paste" into a file on one tab, it will paste it into another file open under another tab. Is this just old age? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Should I re-install? Is there a newer version out? I'm using Windows XP.

Thanks

[Peter Creasey]

. Is this just old age? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Should I re-install? Is there a newer version out?

Y, I suggest you post your problem on the appropriate Mozilla Forum (http://forums.mozillazine.org/) .

My Kompozer, version 0.7.10, has served me well for these several years, but now it is beginning to get wonky.
KompoZer issues are discussed in this forum (http://wysifauthoring.informe.com/forum/). I believe the developer lurks there too.
