DW MX Doesn't Recognize FW MX 2004 HTML Files For Import

[ockhamsrazor webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

I'm trying out Fireworks MX 2004 and ran across this problem. I opened a navbar PNG file (w/pop-up menus) in FW MX 2004 that had originally been created in FW MX. I made some changes to the file and exported the new HTML and slices. When I attempted to insert the new FW 2004 HTML file into a Dreamweaver MX document, DW MX balked and threw an error message saying it wasn't in the correct format and suggested I select a file that had been exported from Fireworks (which, of course, I had). When I re-exported the same file from FW MX, no problem. I'm assuming it's some sort of version compatibility issue.

Of course, any and all help/insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Jim

There is no compatibility issue there. Show me the HTML you were trying to
import, please?

Hi Murray.... I suppose you are going to tell him about the magic comment:

<!--Fireworks MX 2004 Dreamweaver MX 2004 target. Created Sun Aug 17
22:55:18 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time) 2003-->

It's under the meta tag in the Fireworks HTML. Just change it to:
<!--Fireworks MX Dreamweaver MX target. Created Sun Aug 17 22:55:18
GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time) 2003-->

I usually go into the slices.xtt file and edit the line at 592:

// Write HTML target and date created.
var d = new Date();
WRITE_HTML("<!--Fireworks MX 2004 Dreamweaver MX 2004 target. Created
", d, "-->\n");

.... and change it to:

// Write HTML target and date created.
var d = new Date();
WRITE_HTML("<!--Fireworks MX Dreamweaver MX target. Created ", d, "-->\n");

....then save as to a new folder in the HTML Code folder under the
Program Files\Macromedia\Fireworks MX 2004\Configuration subfolder named
"DreamweaverMX" ....then when I go to export, I click the Options button
(or you can choose File > HTML Setup... and click the Popup for the HTML
Style and choose DreamweaverMX before you export.

I've also hacked my Slices.XTT to get zero margins and other common
things I need to do. Just make sure you always save as a copy to a new
folder in the HTML Code folder.

Mark/Murray,

Mark's hack was the answer. I had actually tried that before I wrote, but I must have mistyped something or got the spacing wrong. When I cut and pasted the version-specific part of the comment header from a FW MX HTML file, it worked.

Thank you both. Much appreciated.

Jim
