- 1. New Features!
-
- Claris Home Page 3.0 is a cross-platform
- (Macintosh and Windows) product designed to be
- the easiest way to create powerful Internet Web
- pages and sites. In our latest version,
- significant effort has been put into supporting
- the needs of both novice and expert HTML page
- creators alike! The New Features include:
-
- ** "Assistants" that automatically generate
- pages, frames, or complete web sites based
- on your style choices, topic, and
- personalized information!
-
- ** Strong and Accurate HTML processing which
- can hide or display your custom tags and
- scripting, while carefully leaving your
- work untouched. (Our testing shows that we
- are superior to ALL of the competition in
- HTML processing and tag handling).
-
- ** Powerful support for creating FileMaker 4.0
- Database Web pages. You can easily connect
- to your FileMaker 4.0 database, and create
- custom pages for displaying, searching,
- editing, or updating database records over
- the Internet or Intranets.
-
- ** Enhanced Site Management: New site
- documents show the entire contents of your
- site, and allow changing global features
- such as page background across multiple
- pages. Easily Verify and fix broken links
- and references, then automatically
- consolidate all referenced files and
- upload your site to an Internet service
- provider.
-
- ** Searching enhancements: Search and replace
- text across an entire site from the site
- editor. Search in Edit HTMLSource mode,
- for example, to globally change references

-
- 2. Technical Notes and Tips
-
- A. Double-clicking on an HTML File Opens it in
- a Browser
-
- Only one application is allowed to be the
- default viewer for a given file extension. We
- have chosen to leave the browser as the default
- viewer for HTML files. To open an HTML file in
- Claris Home Page, Start Claris Home Page and
- choose Open from the File menu, or drag the file
- itself(not a shortcut) to the Claris Home Page
- icon.
- NOTE: Right-Clicking on an HTML file will now
- show an option to "Edit with Claris Home
- Page 3.0", which is listed in the menu.
-
- B. Inserting AVI Files
-
- Insert .AVI files through the Insert Plugin
- menu item. AVI files will not show in the
- Insert QuickTime movie dialog.
-
- C. FTP - Working With Remote Files
-
- Under some conditions, you may need to change
- the FTP mode that Home Page uses to communicate
- with your service provider. If you experience
- Upload/Download failures of ANY kind, change
- the FTP Mode in the FTP settings dialog box
- (choose either PASV or Active).
-
- D. QuickTime Movies for Web Pages
-
- QuickTime Movies need to be flattened to play
- in web browsers.
-
- E. Crash after inserting a QuickTime movie
-
- Video cards that use Hardware Drivers for
- QuickTime may cause a crash with Home Page if
- you insert a QuickTime or QuickTime VR movie.
- To fix this problem go into the QuickTime
- control panel and click "More". Select the
- "Video" tab. Under "Current Video Settings"
- set "Draw Method" from "Hardware Driver" to
- "Video Driver".
-
- F. Resizing Movie Files
-
- Movie files, such as QuickTime VR panorama or
- .AVI files insert very small under some
- conditions. They must be be resized manually.
