Deigning Web pages

In general, it is good practice to keep files small. Split large documents into multiple HTML pages for maximum efficiency.

Opening previously created Web pages

If the text in your document is not appearing in the correct font style or size, check your HTML source code to ensure that an <HR> (horizontal rule) tags is not included between the start of a heading tag and the end of a heading tag (e.g. <H1><HR></H1>). If an <HR> tag is included between heading tags display problems may occur. If you find <HR> tags between the heading tags, move the <HR> tag outside of the heading tags.

Printing

If your Web document contains a cell longer than one page, this may cause an infinite number of pages to print. Click Cancel to stop printing.

Cells larger than one page

In general, cells larger than one page may be problematic. For example, .GIF images located more than 30 line down in an individual cell may cause display problems.

Documents with tables

If the sum of the cell widths for all the cells in a row is greater than the table width, rendering will be distorted. Therefore, ensure that the table width is always greater than the sum of the cell widths in a given row. Removing specified cells widths will also alleviate the rendering problem.

Large Container Tags

The use of large container tags, which are sometimes found in hand coded HTML Web pages may pose a problem for the Corel WEB.DESIGNER HTML Parser. This may cause some modification to the layout of those pages

Large files and Images

Please note that you may encounter some problems with larger files. Large files may cause screen distortion when scrolling or selecting text. To refresh the screen, use the Refresh Window command found in the View menu.

Using the Undo command in a large file or one which has large images may cause a screen redraw.

Applet Codebase

When you choose to an applet to add to your Web page, Corel WEB.DESIGNER enters the folder location of the Applet and the Applet's class name into the Class text box. The folder location of the Applet should be cut from the Class box and pasted into the Codebase box for the Applet to work correctly.

Inserting .HTML files

If you have enabled the Lower Case File Name check box, only files inserted with Insert, Image, will be changed to lower case. Therefore, if you inserted an HTML file into your document it will still have mixed case filenames.

Progressive .JPG images

Corel WEB.DESIGNER will not display progressive .JPG images. These images will be replaced with a default icon. However, progressive .JPG images will be displayed correctly when viewed in a browser that supports progressive .JPGs.

Copying images with image maps

If you have created an image map for a Corel WEB.DESIGNER image, a server-side map will be created and placed within your document folder. This map file will have the .MAP extension. In addition, client-side image map tags will be automatically added to the HTML code. The client side image map tags will be placed at the end of the HTML document below the </HTML> tag.

If you cut or copy an image with an image map, the image map attributes will be copied along with the image. If you do not want the image to retain the image map attributes, double-click the image, click the Image Map tab, and disable the Use Image Map check box.

Scaling images and image maps

Coordinates in an image map file do not get adjusted after you scale an image. Therefore, it is recommended that you create your image map after you scale your image to the desired size.

If you remove the server-side URL from the Image Map dialog box

Corel WEB.DESIGNER creates a server-side image map file as well as adding client-side map tags to the HTML document. If you remove the server-side image map URL for the image, you will be asked to specify a server side map file or create a new one. You may then Browse for the server-side map that was removed, edit and resave it or create a new map file. When you save the server-side map file, client-side image map tags will be automatically added to the HTML document.

Right and left aligned image in forms

If an image is inserted into a cell that has the ALIGN = LEFT or ALIGN = RIGHT attribute, the image may temporarily not display. To fix this, place the cursor on the first blank line and press Enter until the form border encompasses the image.

Typing text beside images that have image maps or hyperlinks associated with them

If the cursor is placed directly beside the image before typing, the text may retain the hyperlink attribute <HREF> tag from the image. In order to remove the attribute from the text, select the text and click the Hyperlink button. (The hyperlink/image map attribute will be retained on the image only).

Custom colors

When defining a custom color in the Color dialog box, ensure that the pointer on the left side of the dialog box is pointing to the desired color before clicking the Add To Custom Color button. If you click the Add To Custom Color button before selecting a color, you will add the color white to the Custom Color Palette.

Open from Internet

Files opened from the Internet may not appear to be the same page that your browser displays. Some advanced Web Servers display different versions of the same file based on the version of HTML that the requesting program handles.

CGI Scripts

Page Depot Scripts will only work if you have published your Web site to Microcraft's PageDepot Server, through the Publish To Internet commands. These PageDepot CGI scripts should not be edited.

Using a global target to reference URLs

Some browsers require mandatory HTML document title text between the <TITLE> and </TITLE> tags in order for the <BASE Target="targetvalue"> to function correctly. To specify a document title click File, Page Properties.

FTP program

If you would like to run the FTP Program as a standalone application, WEBFTP.EXE is located in the C:\COREL\WEBMSTR\PROGRAMS folder. If Corel WebMaster Suite was not installed to the default folder, replace C:\COREL\WEBMSTR with the appropriate drive letter and path.

Some FTP sites restrict read access to root folders. This results in Corel WEB.DESIGNER's FTP program interpreting readable subfolders as empty.

Frames

There are no Undo or Redo options for Frame manipulations.

Adding Comments to HTML Source

Comments can be added to the HTML Source. Comments will not appear in the displayed page or in the Browser's display, but they can be used to make notations to the author and other viewers of the page. To add comments, choose HTML Source from the Edit menu.

The following are examples of the syntax for comments:

<!--This page was created by: Name/Date -->

<! Place a comment here Place another comment here >

Corel WEB.SiteManager

Both Corel WEB.DESIGNER and Corel WEB.PhotoPaint are integrated with Corel WEB.SiteManager.

Using the Site Builder wizard in Corel WEB.SiteManager

Between the first and second dialogs in the Site Builder wizard, there is a time delay that may take a number of seconds.

Wait cursor does not appear on main screen while site is being analyzed

When a site is being analyzed, a wait cursor (e.g., hourglass) appears on the side and top portions of the Corel WEB.SiteManager screen, the hourglass does not appear in the main screen.

Pressing Cancel in the Site Builder wizard

When creating a Web site type that contains many components (e.g., Name, Address, Company Information) the cancel button cancels each component separately, it does not cancel the entire Site Builder Wizard.

Downloading HTML from Remote Sites through Corel WEB.SiteManager

Some files may be locked by the server, therefore Corel WEB.SiteManager will not be able to download them. It is possible to copy the HTML Source of these files from Corel WEB.SiteManager (View, Source View in Corel WEB.SiteManager's menu) and paste the HTML into Corel WEB.DESIGNER's HTML Source View (View, Document Source in Corel WEB.DESIGNER)

Referenced images don't get downloaded with the HTML file from Corel WEB.SiteManager. Each image can be downloaded separately, however, Corel WEB.DESIGNER's Open from Internet feature will download the specified .HTML file and its referenced images

Site Builder Wizard Screens appearing behind Corel WEB.SiteManager when mouse is clicked off Site Builder Wizard dialog boxes

While the Site Builder wizard is running, if the mouse is clicked off the dialog boxes, the Site Builder wizard screen goes behind the Corel WEB.SiteManager window. It may appear that the program is stuck. Press ALT + TAB to gain control of the Site Builder wizard program by pressing ALT + TAB until the Site Builder wizard icon is highlighted. The Site Builder wizard dialog will then appear on top again.

Applets

The codebase in the Instant Control Settings dialog should be set to Local and class files are located in c:\corel\webmstr\cwdata\project\docs. If the program was not installed to the default directory, replace c:\corel\webmstr with the appropriate drive letter and path.

Running browsers under NT 3.51

If you choose to publish directly to either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer in NT 3.51, the browser executable (.EXE) must be in your path. To check your path, go to the Control Panel, System icon. Make sure the directory path to Netscape (NETSCAPE.EXE) or Internet Explorer (EXPLORER.EXE) is in the path variable.

Running Microsoft Internet Explorer under WIN95

When launching Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may get the following error message: The Web browser could not be launched. The browser may not be installed or failed to respond.

However, the browser will be launched and your data will be correct. To prevent the error message from reappearing, ensure that Microsoft Internet Explorer is your default browser (you can set this within Microsoft Internet Explorer), and select HTML 3.0 in Publishing Options.

DAO driver information

The Microsoft DAO drivers are supplied for use by Corel WEB.DATA. These drivers are very sensitive to the format of the data file they are accessing and expect the file to be in the native application's file format (e.g., the DAO drivers expect an Excel spreadsheet file to be created in Excel and saved in an Excel format). However, if the spreadsheet file was created in one application but saved in another application's file format (e.g., created in Quattro Pro, but saved in Excel format), the DAO drivers may generate an "External Table is not in expected format" error when attempting to access the spreadsheets.

To avoid this type of error, you need to ensure that the data file is always in the native application's format. In cases where you exported/saved a spreadsheet file in a format other than that of its native application, you should then open the file in the application to which the file format belongs and re-save the file. For example, if you created a spreadsheet file in Quattro Pro, but saved it in an Excel file format, you would then open that file in Excel and save it as an Excel file again.

Accessing Quattro Pro spreadsheet files

Drivers for Quattro Pro are not available with the current DAO drivers supplied with Corel WEB.DATA. However, you can access Quattro Pro files using Microsoft Excel. Simply open the Quattro Pro spreadsheet in Quattro Pro and save it as an Excel 5.0 (*.XLS) spreadsheet. Then, open Excel 5.0 (or 7.0), open the file, and re-save it as an Excel spreadsheet again. You should now be able to open the Excel 5.0 spreadsheet in Corel WEB.DATA using the Excel 5.0 (*.XLS) selection.

Accessing Paradox database files

When encountering problems opening a Paradox database file, try opening the database in a more current version of Paradox (e.g., versions 3 to 7) and saving the file to that version. Or, you can export the database to any other supported database format (e.g., FoxPro).

If you continue to experience problems opening the Paradox database (e.g., you are receiving the following error message; "Error encountered accessing Table #0, External Table not in expected format. If the Table has a Primary Index, check if .PX file exists. "), try the following:

 structure of the "problem" database as the template for the new database).

you should now be able to open this new database in Corel WEB.DATA.

Accessing FoxPro 3.0 database files

When encountering problems using a FoxPro 3.0 database file, try reformatting the file by opening the file in FoxPro 3.0 and saving it as FoxPro 3.0 file. You can also try opening the database file in FoxPro 3.0 and exporting it as a FoxPro 3.0 file.

Changing the output publication in Output Setup

Should you decide to change the output publication from the one that is currently selected in Output Setup, ensure that the Output Text Stream box displays the new output text file for the new publication/chapter. Otherwise, Corel WEB.DATA will not publish to the correct text file.

Corel InstantChart, InstantView, and InstantAnalyzer

If you choose Chart or Analyzer as your process method, the first field should contain text data, since the contents of this field will be used to provide the labels for the ordinal axis. However, the remaining fields should contain numeric values since charts only illustrate numerical data relationships. In addition, charting empty fields (i.e., NULL fields) may lead to unexpected results.

Corel InstantChart, InstantView, and InstantAnalyzer do not display correctly when published to Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0. Microsoft offers a patch to correct this problem. You can contact Microsoft at www.microsoft.com.
