364 Chapter 14: Optimizing and Exporting
Updating exported HTML
The Update HTML command allows you to make changes to a Fireworks HTML document
you’ve previously exported. This feature is useful if you want to update only a portion of
a document.
When updating Fireworks HTML, you can choose to replace just the images that changed, or
overwrite all code and images. If you choose to replace only the images that changed, any
changes you made to the HTML file outside of Fireworks are preserved.
To update HTML using the Update HTML command:
1.
Do one of the following:
■
Select File > Update HTML.
■
Click the Quick Export button and select Update HTML from the pop-up menu.
2. Select the file to update in the Locate HTML File dialog box.
3. Click Open.
4. If no Fireworks-generated HTML is found, click OK to insert new HTML at the end of
the document.
5.
If Fireworks-generated HTML is found, select one of the following and click OK:
Replace Images and Their HTML
replaces the previous Fireworks HTML.
Update Images Only overwrites only the images.
6. If the Select Images Folder dialog box appears, select a folder and click Open.
Exporting CSS layers
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) give you added control over how web pages are displayed. CSS
layers let you create style sheets or templates that define how different elements, such as
headers and links, should appear. With CSS, you can control the style and layout of multiple
web pages at once. CSS layers can overlap and be stacked on top of one another. In Fireworks,
normal HTML output does not overlap.
