Link Checking Options (tick_16Pro, tick_16Std, cross_16Lite)

•Send usernames and passwords when only domains match - Check this box to send usernames and passwords when checking links for documents that have been opened from the web using a username and password and when the link being checked is to the same domain as the source document, regardless of the folder. If this box is not checked, then usernames and passwords will be sent only when both the domain and folder/path of the link being checked matches that of the source document. Checking this box may send usernames and passwords to more locations and may be less secure. This option also affects URL targets with usernames and passwords in the Batch Wizard. This option is not enabled by default.
•Automatically check links in the background - Check this box to constantly check unchecked links in the background while you work. The link checker will automatically go into action when you are working with a document that has had links extracted that have not yet been checked. If HTML Validator finds bad links in the document that you are working with, then a red square will appear before the Links tab to indicate that bad links have been found. If all links have been found to be good, then a green square will appear. This option is enabled by default.

Integrated Web Browser Options (tick_16Pro, tick_16Std, cross_16Lite)

For more information about the integrated web browser, including information about preview mode, please see the help page for the integrated web browser.

•When in preview mode, automatically refresh the web browser - Check this box so that the web browser is automatically refreshed every few seconds when in preview mode. This allows you to see how your document looks as you work on it and change it. This option is not enabled by default.
•When in preview mode, refresh browser when document is saved - Check this box to refresh the  integrated web browser when it is in preview mode and the document that is being previewed is saved. This option is enabled by default.
•When not in preview mode, automatically validate the web browser source - Check this box so that HTML Validator automatically validates the URLs that you visit as you visit them when the web browser is not in preview mode. This option is enabled by default.
•Hide WB Source tab when not in use - Check this box to hide the WB Source tab when it's not being used. The WB Source tab shows the HTML source of the document currently being viewed in the integrated web browser. This option is not enabled by default. (New v9.02)
•Extensions to preview - Specify the file extensions of the files that can be previewed in the integrated web browser when the browser is in preview mode. Use a comma separated list of extensions. This prevents certain files from being previewed, such as css files. Previewing css files by themselves is not useful and may cause problems.
