Chapter 26 Referencing and Editing External HTML
2. On the General tab of the External HTML Properties panel:
• Select Size to layout to remove resize handles from an object, which fills the
Layout. You can then use the Convert to Fusion button to import the
referenced object into NetObjects Fusion.
Note: Avoid sizing a referenced object to a Layout if there are
other objects in the Layout area. You might get unexpected
results in some browsers.
• Clear Size to layout to add resize handles to a referenced Layout area, so
you can resize it, move it, and add other objects.
• Click Edit HTML File to edit the referenced file on the HTML Source tab.
Managing Referenced Assets
When you reference an external HTML file, NetObjects Fusion lists the HTML file
in Assets view. Unless you choose otherwise, it imports into Assets view pictures,
applets, media, and most other external assets the file references.
You can move external assets in your directory structure in Publish view while
maintaining paths. When you publish, NetObjects Fusion edits paths to the assets
so they can be found. For example, depending on your original and published
directory structures, NetObjects Fusion might change the original HTML’s to in the published HTML.
However, NetObjects Fusion doesn’t edit paths to other HTML files, or to target
anchors within tags. For these links to be maintained, the path names in
the original files must work as-is when you publish. The original tags
should use relative rather than absolute path names, for example, use
rather than . You must position external HTML files in your NetObjects Fusion
directory structure so the original paths work. See “Customizing Your Site’s
Directory Structure” on page 888.
