Hot spot

S

Steve

I created a polygon hot spot on part of my header graphic
in my dwt but it doesn't propagate to any of my pages. It
looks ok to me in the template and seems to work there. It
is in an uneditable area. Is that a problem?

Are you sure it's the hotspot that's the problem, or is it dwt not
propagating? If you make some other change to the dwt does that propagate?

Great idea, and right you are -- nothing propagates. I
have a disk-based site, so I thought that dwts should
work and propagate. I think this is irrelevant, as this
doesn't work my local machine, but I haven't published
the dwt to the remote server. What else would keep this
from working? Thanks. >-----Original Message-----

When using FP2003 and the DWT on a disk-based web, as long as you have applied the DWT with a web /
site open and then make any changes to the DWT, then is should auto-update.

I need to go back and try a few things. I had a problem
with navigation with this dwt because I made my navbar an
included page, which apparently is a potential problem due
to layer label conflicts. I thought I solved my
navigation problem but apparently not quite -- I think
it's been solved by detaching the dwt. I made a new dwt
with the navbar included within it instead of being an
included page. (This is a real pain because the
interactive buttons all needed to be resaved and in the
process lose all of their change property behaviors -- is
there some way to stop that from happening?) I'll see if
that's enough to get this to go.

If you had left the Nav Bar as an include page you would have had even more
problems with the Interactive Buttons - the hover and pressed versions would
not show except in pages in the same folder as the include.
(see http://www.rxs-enterprises.com/fp/b/buttons/ for details.)

The easiest way I have found to move an IB from one page to another is:
Make sure both pages are in the same folder.
With both pages open in CODE view, highlight the code for the buttons and
copy to clipboard ( ctrl-C )
Move to the DWT, and Paste the buttons in the appropriate place in the code.
(If necessary) Move the DWT back to its own folder, then check the file
paths for preloading images in the <body> tag, and the image file paths in
the onmouseover, onmousedown, and onmouseup events for each IB. If one path
is wrong, then all the paths may be wrong but using Find and Replace should
make the corrections fairly easy.

Ron,

You clued me in to the problem with the include pages and
dwts last week. Looks like I need to revisit my "fix",
but I'm closer; thanks. As for the IB, I'll try your
approach (avoiding resaving buttons) if I need to make
adjustments when I try switching to the newer dwt, but I
don't understand why FP wipes out all the change property
behaviors when I save over an IB. That doesn't fix with a
find and replace (although I did paste in the behaviors
last time around). Anyway, I'm hoping that by attaching
the dwt with the navbar in place that these problems will
go away and I'll have a working dwt. We'll see.
I assume it's ok to have a dwt in a separate folder and
not publish it. >-----Original Message-----

I have used copy and paste on IBs with no problems, other than the image
paths. Are you copying and pasting in code view? Using design view may
remove the behaviours, though I don't see why.

That will not cause any problems. The DWT is only referred to when editing
the site.

I almost always work in split view. If I open interactive
button properties and then save the button, the change
property behaviors get wiped out.
