Web Express How To Page

 

HOW TO: Change the line spacing of a paragraph in one action

 

HOW TO:  Insert a file or document such as xxx.pdf, xxx.doc, xxx. wpd etc

This is very similar to making any other link with only one little change.   Step by Step will use pdf file for explaination

  1. copy your pdf file into the same folder on your computer with the rest of your website files. I have created a folder called download for files as this, much the same as there is a folder called images for the pictures Make sure the file is somewhere in with the rest of the files for your site.

  2. Within WebExpress place in a word, phrase, or image. This is what visitors would click on to access the file.

  3. Highlight and click on the icon to insert a link (the same as any other link)

  4. Click on the FILE button on the window that opens

  5. Under File Types click ALL FILES (to make the pdf show up), then navigate to your pdf file

  6. Optional: Have the Target makes as blank to open a new page when the link is click then the visitor still has the original window to continue on with your site.

Becuase you took the time to do step 1, WebExpress will upload the file and even reupload if you update the pdf file with a new version at some time.

HOW TO:  Turn a link to red when hovering over it

 Insert this in the <head> of your HTML

<STYLE> 
  A:HOVER { color : red;} 
</STYLE>

This works fine with IE browsers, insert any color you wish in place of red. 

 

HOW TO: Have WE view file in Firefox

 Try this:

C:Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe file:%1
Uncheck the "Use DDE" checkbox, and check the "Use Short Filenames" checkbox. 

 

HOW TO: Open a new but smaller window

 Link to this:
javascript: void(0);
Then click on the 'Extensions'button (In the Create/Edit>Link dialog.)
Click 'Add'
For 'Name'type in:
onClick
For 'Value'type (or paste, ctrl-v) in:
window.open ('http://www.mvd.com','smallwin','width=400,height=350,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes');

(Replace the "http://www.mvd.com" http://www.mvd.com part with your desired URL.)

Make sure that the above line has no spaces in it. Netscape is very picky about this.
The height and width numbers are in pixels. You can experiment with different sizes by using different numbers.
