Opening New Pages In Dreamweaver4

[mattygriff]

I regularly create ASP pages in MS Visual InterDev but when I subsequently open them in Dreamweaver4 to add or alter images, logos, etc. the image path is always given as literal ("file://C:\...etc.&quot rather than relative to the location of the current page.

Is there any way of overcoming this as it means rather a lot of "find and replace" activity !!!!

Thanks.

Hello mattygriff!

The main idea of DW to develope entire site not just a single page. That means that before creating (or changing) any page of your site you should define your site (name, URL, FTP, local and remore folders, first page, etc.).

To define site do next:

1) open Define Sites window (Site > Define Sites...);
2) click New... and enter all parameters.

After defining Site, all pathes to your images and other object will be from site root.

Good Luck!

Thanks EugenePaliev ! That is most useful. I wasn't fully aware of the site-building capabilities of DW4 but I will look into this more fully from now on.
