posting fireworks page with Front Page

[Guest]

I created a page in Fireworks that I'd like to post to my site using Front Page. I exported the file into Front Page and it previewed just fine in Front Page. However, when I tried to post the page to my actual site, nothing but boxes with the letter "x" in them appear. Please help.

Thanks,
Jason

You must IMPORT the files into FP before inserting them into a page. There
is a difference.

you need to upload all the elements in the page, ie images, sound files, whatever
you have on those pages.

yes, don't just import the html file created in fireworks, if you created an
image that you sliced in fireworks and exported as a html table which you then
open in frontpage, you have to import the html file and all the images to make up
the whole image.

the red 'X' indicates images are missing.

 

[Andrew Murray]

are you opening the PNG fireworks file or an html file you made in Fireworks.?

Scratch my last reply. When I imported the file into FP, it changed it

completely. Now when I attempt to view the file in FP, it uses Quick Time to
open the page and it only displays one small portion of the text on the page.

What kind of file(s) is Fireworks generating? It sounds weird that QT would be trying to open it.

I haven't used Fireworks since v2 so I'm not sure how it's generating the page...but heres what I would try...

Let fireworks generate the page and any other files it wants to make that are associated with the page into one folder outside of FP. Then *Import* that entire Folder in FP (choose the Import/Add Folder choice).

Not saying that this will do it...but this is what I would try.

hth.

give us a url to the offending page. also post the "fireworks" file as it
is to the web (not on an html page but just in the folder with it's native
extension still intact). I think, if I remember right, fireworks files are
Vector Graphics, kind of like Adobe Illustrator, or Windows WML files.

I'm sure there's a way for you to do what you want though.

that's not a page it's one giant png


| The offending page is www.apologetics.org/forum_button.png. Now the page will appear, but it does not include all of the hyperlinks, rollovers, and drop-down menus that I imbedded into the page in Fireworks.

This is not a page - it's an image. A very, very big (1,917Kbytes) image
which needs to be seriously optimised before being used on the web. An
image used for the web should rarely be more than 50,000Kbytes in size - and
IMHO even that is big.

There is nothing you can do to recover the missing parts, other than
recreate it in Fireworks.

I am certain that this image is not what you were attempting to create, but
I know nothing about Fireworks.

I have a feeling his slices got welded together.

Good news Jason.

I downloaded your PNG, opened it in Fireworks (mx version), exported to HTML, imported into FrontPage, posted to my site, and successfully navigated your page including menus and links using Internet Explorer.

Here's how...

Create folder c:\wow (or whatever temp folder you want)
Open your PNG in Fireworks.
Choose File, Export

On the Export window:
Set "Save in" to c:\wow
(listed are the rest of the default settings which I left unchanged)
File name: forum button.htm (you may want to eliminate the blank space in the name)
Save as type: HTML and Images
HTML: Export HTML File
Slices: Export Slices
Include Areas without Slices: Checked
Put Images in Subfolder: Checked
The default subfolder for images is shown as "/images".

Click on the Save button.
This creates a c:\wow\forum button.htm file and a c:\wow\images folder containing related graphics.

Now import the c:\wow folder into FrontPage.
Open your site in FrontPage and choose File, Import.
On the Import window click on the "Add Folder" button.
Set "Look in:" to c:\wow and click on the "Open" button. (returns you to a populated Import window)
On the Import window click on "OK" to begin import.
When complete, you'll have a \wow folder in your "Local Web site".
Publish the \wow folder and browse your site for the "forum button.htm" page under the \wow folder.

Hope this helps and good luck.
