cpanel is very good -- but it is only an interface to your web server's controls. Once your server is set up and stable, it is not a place to go to unless you need to make changes to your webserver, mail, ftp or hosing configs.

namo webeditor is one tool - but it's NOT really a text editor. Your process takes extra steps -- and you can't work "live".

The way you are working requires downloading a file, editing it, then uploading it. An FTP client with an integrated or linked text editor will simplify the process, losing 2 steps... you would simply select the file work on it, then save.

If your server/mail/ftp/sql is configured, thee is no need to go near cPanel.

Your files are on a server. You will use tools to talk to the files. It's really that basic.

re: popup - search hotscripts.com for "tooltip" and you will find many options.
