Tips for Copying and Pasting

There are three ways you can copy and paste text:

Broswers that work with the Easy Editor

  • The Easy Editor works in the following web browsers:
    • Firefox. We recommend the freely downloadable browser Firefox for composing pages with the Easy Editor. We do the majority of our Easy Editor testing with Firefox.
    • Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and up on Windows only)
    • Netscape
    • Mozilla and any Mozilla based browser
    • Any browser based on Gecko
  • The Easy Editor does not work in the following web browsers:
    • Safari (the editor toolbar will appear but most of the functions will not work properly)
    • Internet Explorer on the Mac (the editor toolbar will not appear, only a regular text area)

    We recommend that Mac users download Firefox if they don't have Netscape, Mozilla or another compatible browser already installed.

    The Easy Editor is a web editor that allows you to create your treehouse without writing HTML code. Web pages are created using a code called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). Visitors to the WWW do not see the HTML code unless they choose to "view source" from their web browser's menu (see example below).
