Default Please Help Some1 !!! - 07-14-2003 , 06:07 AM






Okay heres is my problem: I Created a site using FireWorks (FW) and I exported it into a HTML & Images to bring it into my Dreamweaver (DW). I am using what i made in FW as a template in DW. So i go to upload my Index1.htm file i created as my Home Page of my site. I test it but the pictures dont work on the website(except the ones i changed the source in properties under my editable/optional region i created in template). Wut i really need to know how to do is change the File Source for the disjoint-roll over images, using either DW or FW from ' c:/webpage ' to my webpage server ip
' 66.xxx.xxx.xx/mfh/ ' so when people view the page the pictures show up from the template.

I really have looked around each program and havent figured it out yet. so if anyone has ever had this problem or can help me i would appreciate it a Ton, ill check this everyday for 3 days and if no one responds ill take it as nobody actually uses this forum!

p.s. im kind of new so break it down if u can help!

' 66.xxx.xxx.xx/mfh/ '
open the page, and use File-->Check Page-->Check links
After fixing any bad links- change the pulldown in the Results window to
"External Links"

That should list all the hard coded HD paths.
Click on the folder icon to the far right of each external link listed.
Browse to the file-- AND have the pulldown in the bottom of the "browse to
file" dialog box set to "Relative to Document"
~~If prompted that the file is outside of the local site folder- click yes
to "copy up to local site"~~

any quicker way would involve doing a find and replace to change the hard
coded HD paths to /Site root relative paths- then using Relativity extension
to change them to Document Relative paths.

Here is the text of the reply I made to the same post on the FW group -

How on earth did you get that page that way? 8(

There are problems throughout.

1. There is not a doctype on the page as there usually is in new pages
created by DMX (even though it's incorrect).

2. The page *should* be a Template page, (<!-- TemplateParam name="main1"
type="boolean" value="true" -->), yet it has an html extension. That's
wrong. You must have just saved a Template page with the HTML extension,
which is going to be big trouble, but the other errors on the page are not
even consistent with having done this!

3. There is not an Editable region around the <title> tag, or in the head,
as there usually is in DMX Templates.

4. You have mixed root relative - <img name="fwmain_r1_c1"
src="/mfh/fwmain_r1_c1.gif" - with document relative links - <img
name="fwmain_r2_c1" src="fwmain_r2_c1.gif". Just use document relative for
everything.

5. Your document relative links are suggesting that the images are in the
Templates folder, and that's wrong. There should be nothing in the
Templates folder other than the Template files themselves.

6. I counted 11 rowspan attributes, and 4 colspan attributes. This makes a
very complex table, that is almost guaranteed to give problems in
browser/platform rendering when your table content is not exactly the same
size as the way it was when the HTML code was written by FW (<!-- fwtable
fwsrc="main.png" fwbase="fwmain.gif" fwstyle="Dreamweaver" fwdocid =
"742308039" fwnested="0" -->). This is why many of the regulars on the DW
forum recommend that you not use FW to write your HTML, but that you learn
how to build stable tables instead and do it all in DW.

If you a) read the F1 help files about how to use Templates, and 2) fix
these issues, then I'll show you how to edit your image sources.....
