Previewing your Web site
Previewing your site in a Web browser is an essential step before publishing
it to the World Wide Web. It's the only way you can see just how your site
will appear to a visitor. You can preview a page or site at any time, either
within WebPlus (using an internal window based on the Internet Explorer
browser) or separately using any browser installed on your system.
To preview your Web site:
1. Click the down arrow on the
HTML Preview button on the
Standard toolbar.
2. Select an option from the submenu:
• Preview in Window (shortcut Alt+P) opens the site in a new internal
WebPlus window with its own tab for convenient switching. (For
details on using multiple windows, see Working with more than
one site or window on p.
25).
• Choose Preview Page... or Preview Site... to use an external
browser. The names will reflect which browsers are currently
installed, e.g. the entry may read "Preview Page in Internet Explorer
6.00". If you have more than one browser installed, you can select
which browser(s) to display on the submenu. The page or site is
exported to a temporary folder and appears in the specified browser.
When previewing in a window, you can use the Preview context toolbar to
control the preview window. Click the toolbar buttons to navigate Back and
Forward, Refresh or Close the preview window, and redisplay the page at
one of several standard or a custom screen resolution (all from a drop-down
menu).
To customize the list of browsers on the submenu:
1. Choose Preview Site from the File menu (or from the Preview flyout on
the Standard toolbar) and select Browser Preview List... from the
submenu:
The dialog displays a list of browsers registered on your system. The WebPlus
Preview submenu will list these in the order they’re shown here.
2. Use the dialog to make changes as needed:
• Click Auto Detect to refresh the list automatically, or click Add to
display a dialog that lets you locate a particular browser to manually
add to the list.
