Dreamweaver Web page Production Publishing site

It is necessary to use the Dreamweaver MX 2004 site Manager to check and organize your Web site files before publishing the site. You can find broken links, bad code, and unused orphaned files for corrective and processing.

The steps are as follows: In the Edit View Point site menu > select Check Site-wide links, the Results dialog box is displayed, as shown in the following figure:

The following figure is the inspector to check the site and the external site links to all the information, for external links, the Inspector can not judge the correct or not, please check yourself.

The image below is an orphan file found by the inspector, which is not used on your Web page, but is still stored in your website folder, and it will occupy an effective space after uploading and should be cleared. The elimination method is: first select the file, click Delete key, OK. These files are placed in the Recycle Bin.

If you do not want to delete these files, click the Save Report button (shown above), and in the dialog box that pops up, you give the report file a save path and file name. The report file is a list of check results. You can refer to this table for processing.

After the correction and collation, your site will be ready for release.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 Copies all files to the server's default remote root folder.

Most space providers set up a server default folder, create an empty folder under this folder by converting local view to remote view in the Files panel. Right-click on the folder, select "New Folder", enter a name, used as your remote root folder, the name and your local root folder name consistent, easy to operate.

For more intuitive operation, you can also maximize the files panel. Open the "Extend/collapse" button at the far right of the files panel, maximizing the file panel, the image below, the remote site content on the left, and the local file content on the right: (note) This is an example of expanding the folder to facilitate your observation for reference.

Click Dreamweaver MX 2004 to copy all files to the remote folder that you defined.

Tip: First upload must be clear to the network Space service provider designated server default folder for the Web page, under this folder to store your site files. Visit your Web site as: http://......./index.htm

If you set up a folder with the same name as the local root folder on the server's default folder, you will need to use this address to access your site: http://........./(your folder name)/index.htm

Upload completed, please enter the browse address in the browser, test your upload results.
