Hello,
Until now I use Coffeeecup Visual Site Designer as WYSIWYG editor, but I'm looking for something else for 2 reasons: - the Coffeecup product is rather short on possibilities - The generated code is working alright only if using MS Explorer. Using Firefox, text information is formatted wrong.
So I found this editor!
One of the really great possibilities of this editor is that I can import HTML, so I don't have to start anew! But: importing HTML made by Visual Site Designer generates an error message trying to preview or export it in this editor:
(35) Generic 20: Exportbinary: Error exporting object 'Generic 20'. Impossibile trovare il file.
Please help.
Kind regards, John van Hulst

Hello John van Hulst,
can you send me the HTML page with related files (the .htm file generated by Visual Site Designer) so I can try to debug my application and find the problem? Thanks!

Hi Davide,
I already found the source of the problem. It is linking to files that are external (i.e. downloaded from a web server) that causes the problem. I'll give you an example HTML page here:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>New document</title> <meta name="generator" content="TSW WebCoder"> </head>
<body>
<p>Dynamic HTML Editor test</p>
<EMBED src="http://users.bart.nl/~benito/CubaBlues.swf" width="10" height="10" AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="true">
</body> </html>
If you import this into Dynamic HTML Editor you'll see the error when trying to preview or export. But of course I need HTML code like this. Strange enough, Dynamic HTML Editor 'listens' to the music while importing the HTML lines (I see the song is being downloaded), and yet refuses to export...
If I load the swf file locally from my HD there's no error.
Kind regards, John van Hulst
P.S. These HTML lines were not made with Visual Site Designer, but with TSW Webcoder, a very good free HTML editor that I use to overcome the shortcomings of Visual Site Designer. I prefer a WYSIWYG editor like yours though, 'cause it seems to have all things that Visual Site Designer doesn't have... |

Hi Davide,
I installed Dynamic HTML Editor on another computer. And yes, not being able to watch external files has been corrected. I noticed three other things:
- In preview mode it's not possible to use/test links. Why? This makes the sense of previewing less obvious... - I use a lot of 'onmouseover' statements, like in the code below, to change the look of a link button if you move over it with the mouse. These things are not imported. - I noticed some other objects on the page are not imported as well, especially thin lines.
I guess I have to rebuild every page once again... This makes the HTML import possibility pretty useless...
Kind regards, John van Hulst
<DIV class="Object17"><A HREF="Page1.html" onMouseOver='img_mo0.src="IMG_1.jpg"' onMouseOut='img_mo0.src="IMG_0.jpg"'><IMG SRC="IMG_0.jpg" NAME="img_mo0" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=30 BORDER=0></A></DIV>

Hello John,
- in preview mode it's not possible to use links because Dynamic HTML Editor uses a temporaly directory for this so if you link pages of your site the links will work in a wrong manner. Simply create a project and export it to test links. - Unfortunately I use the IE Engine for importing HTML pages; I've no time to remake a new one that can handle javascript calls. Obviously the HTML import cannot be perfect but Dynamic HTML Editor has the most advanced importing capabilities than others. - This ability can only help you to import pre-made pages ;-) |
Regards, Davide |
