The HTML Test and Profiler window lets you view the HTML generated from a page without going through an HTTP server. The HTML can be saved in a file and browsed from a web browser. This makes it possible to test the layout of your pages without having an HTTP server installed or running.

To start the HTML Test and Profiler, open the AbtHtmlTestWindow class in theAbtWebHtmlTestApp application. Select the test button. In the Web Part field, enter the name of the part for which you want to view the HTML and select Show HTML. If you want to save the HTML to a file so you can view it in your web browser, select Show HTML and Save to File.

With the HTML Test and Profiler window, you can only test one page at a time. If this page is in the middle of your application, you may have to modify the page to set the initial values to make the profiling work. For example, if you want to profile a credit card verification page and it expects the credit card information to be obtained from another page, you may have to make a special edition of your page to set the credit card value to a test value before running the profiler. This special edition would only be used for testing.
