Re: HomeSite 4.5, PWS 4 and FP2K

Thank you, after some poking around and some false steps, I think I have it
working. I did have to go into Personal Web Manager (for PWS 4) and check
the box marked 'execute' in the properties for the web I am working in. So
far, it seems to work just as you say, open the web from the c drive. The
links and images and styles all work, and the proprietary files and folders
that FP puts in the web are grayed out so I can't edit them in HomeSite.
Thanks again,

Hi Kathleen and welcome!

This list doesn't get much traffic but you still can get pretty timely
responses here.  I suppose your question could have been posted to the
Techniques list but this one's fine.

You don't have to (and probably shouldn't) open pages "from Web" for local
files in HomeSite.  The server mappings that you have set apply when you
"Browse" the file you are editing either within HomeSite or with a preview
in external browser. If the file resides in a "mapped" directory and you
have a virtual directory set for it in PWS then it will be parsed by the
local Web server when you preview it.   Open from Web is nice when you want
to see the source code of a page and don't want to download it first or
save it as Web page through your browser.

You can open directly in HomeSite just like any local file.  You don't need
to have FP open at all.

As I said above, you just navigate to the file locally.

HTH!
