Chapter 5 : Creating Pages

Getting Started with Templates and Wizards
Select File > New to select from an extensive collection of templates and wizards to help you get started building a site or an application.
Templates
Studio templates are similar to those used in word processing software; they provide a basic structure for different document types.
Use the File > Save As Template command to add the current document to the File > New > Custom tab. You can then use it as a starting point for new documents.
HTML wizards
Many of the wizards listed here are also available on the QuickBar. Wizards are indicated by the following icon:
- Quick Start -- Build a page framework by entering meta information.
- Table -- Define a table structure and properties and enter attributes for individual cells.
- Frames -- Design a frameset, make selections for frame layout and appearance, and specify a source URL for the frame content.
- Open Window -- Generates code for the JavaScript openWin function based on the specified URL and window attributes. Create links to display text and images in a custom browser window. The window display is browser-dependent and should be tested.
- Multimedia Synchronization and Real Player Control-- Two wizards make it easy to synchronize RealAudio files with HTML page display and to embed RealAudio controls on your pages.
DHTML wizards
Dynamic HTML wizards generate styles and JavaScript to create an outline or slide show. Click the DHTML tab on the File > New dialog box to select a wizard:
- Outline -- Create a multi-level outline by typing in or pasting the outline text and defining properties for the display. The JavaScript code for the outline is inserted in the document head.
- Slide Show -- Build slide presentations that run in a browser. All the features of desktop presentation products - layout and duration control, transition options, and integrated images and text - are available.
Note |
The JavaScript Wizard, which generates code for several navigation and
page functions, is only accessible from the Script tab on the QuickBar.
Use the View menu to toggle the display of the QuickBar.
