Simon has attended:
Dreamweaver 8 Introduction course

Dreamweaver, web pages, folders

I need to update a web page but I can't identify the corresponding dreamweaver folder - I thought that the last part of the http address would reveal it, but it doesn't. Grateful for any help.
Thanks
Simon

RE: Dreamweaver, web pages, folders

Hi Simon

The structure of a url is as follows:
http://www.mysite.net/folder/webpage.html or http://www.mysite.net/folder/folder1/webpage.html
Each time the folder where the page resides is shown in the above example where I have used folder. The first page of the address is the actual website address and the last part is the name of the web page. Please note the above urls are just examples, please do not click on them as they will take you to a random website.

Hope this helps
David

RE: Dreamweaver, web pages, folders

Thanks for your very prompt response... unfortunately, I am still stuck - the address of the page I need to edit is http://staffcentral.brighton.ac.uk/vru/, but I cannot find a Dreamweaver folder called "vru" and it wouldn't be a preceeding part of the address. Thanks, Simon

Thais could be because of the access rights that you have to the web server maybe. The page you are looking for should be called index.html and located with the vru folder. Also do make sure that you have connected dreamweaver to your web server otherwise you will not be able to access any folders.

Not sure I can help anymore.

RE: Dreamweaver, web pages, folders

Simon,

I guesed http://staffcentral.brighton.ac.uk/vru/Default.shtm and it's the exact same page (Default.shtm is obviously the default document in this case).

So the folder definitely exists online.

If you can't see the /vru folder within your Dreamweaver Site, but the folder exists online, it simply means that you haven't got the files on your local machine.

To see the files, connect via dreamweaver, Change 'Local view' to to 'Remote View' in the site panel (drop down menu), and you should be able to see all the folders on the web server.

If you can't see or get access to specific folders such as /vru, as David says above, it's because your FTP log-in doesn't have permissions set up to view or modify the contents of those folders.

If you do have access, you may want to select the /vru folder and press the 'GET' button on dreamweaver to download all the files within the folder, and then you can work on them on your local machine in Dreamweaver.

Hope this helps and you get it sorted.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
