Related Topics Capture HTML pages
You can include HTML pages in your CuteSITE Builder file, by first creating or locating them outside of CuteSITE Builder and then "capturing" them. The capture facility is for use by authors who are familiar with HTML codes and file name conventions.
Captured HTML pages are stored within CuteSITE Builder container pages. Typically you capture one page of HTML, plus any frame sets or picture files it includes, per container page, so that you can use CuteSITE Builder to arrange the resulting pages in the map and create links among them.
Like embedded objects within CuteSITE Builder, and unlike files or URLs referenced within container pages, such captured pages are wholly contained within your CuteSITE Builder file. Any changes you make are not propagated back to the location from which you captured the HTML.
Use the following procedure to capture HTML pages.
1. Right-click in the map and choose Insert Container Page.
2. Use the Contents drop-down to choose Captured Resource.
The Captured Resource Editor appears, with a blank list of pages. The next steps refer to the menus within this editor.
3. Choose Insert > From Disk.
4. In the dialog box that displays, browse to any local or network location from which you want to capture files.
5. In the dialog box, highlight the names of files you want to include, and then click Open.
The list of files appears in the left-hand window. Each filename is followed by its MIME type, which the browser uses to determine how to display it.
6. Select the name of the file that you want to initially display when this container page is accessed. In a sense this file serves as the "home page" for this group of captured resources.
7. Choose Edit > Set Default.
A hand-shaped default indicator appears opposite the file you chose. You must choose some default file, but can change the file in the future.
8. You can choose commands from the Edit menu to add, delete, and rename files, and find text within them. You can also directly edit the contents of files, as long as they are small enough (under 64 Kbyes) to appear in the text editing window. When you click the name of a text or picture file that is not too large, its contents appear in the right-hand window.
9. Click File > Save & Exit to return to the Container Page Properties dialog.
10. Click OK. CuteSITE Builder pulls the specified resources within a new container page.
11. You can work with this new page as you would any other CuteSITE Builder page: rename it, move it in the map, link to it, add links or narration in its border, remove the border, apply a new page layout, and so on.
12. To ensure that your captured HTML is saved, be sure to save your CuteSITE Builder file.
n When you capture pages, be sure to specify not only the pages you want to include, but also any other files they directly reference, such as pictures.
n Captured HTML pages live within container pages. As with other container pages, you can choose to include a narration border, with links or an explanation of why your visitors might want to view the HTML page, or omit the border.
n Within its container page, captured HTML appears just as it did within your browser. Links within a single group of captured resources continue to work if they were expressed as relative references to files in the same directory. Links to pages outside the group of captured resources continue to work if they were expressed as complete URLs.
n You can create links to the container pages that enclose the captured HTML pages, just as you can to any other CuteSITE Builder page, and you can include them in sequences.
n When you publish captured HTML, it is passed through unchanged and placed with the other HTML produced by CuteSITE Builder.
n If you receive an error message that the file name is illegal when you publish the Web site file, check that there are no spaces in the file names of the captured HTML pages. (Some provider's FTP servers do not accept files that have spaces in the file names.)
n You can optionally disable the display of captured HTML pages, and other content that uses a browser control for display, by choosing Tools > Options. Click the Text tab.Under Editing Preferences, Show Container Page Content, click Quick-loading only.
