Q: I use Netscape, and am planning on upgrading to Firefox. Please tell me what the requirement for having IE 5.5+ is about. Do I have to use it, or does it just have to be on the computer?
A: It just has to be on the computer, IE does not have to be your main default browser. 123WW checks the final look in IE5.5+ as a quick utility. Of course, you can also check the look of your pages by having Netscape or Firefox load them in off our your local computer by using the File/Open command before uploading them to your webhost server.
Q: Can 123 WysiWyg be used to create auction ads for ebay?
A: Yes, and if you find some ebay auctions html templates it would be a snap to do (just do a quick search for "ebay auction template" on your favorite search engine.
Q: How do I put in a dialog box (or whatever you call it) so that, for example, I can make a survey page & get feedback from people coming to my site.
A: You will need a survey script or service to do this (go to your favorite search engine and type in "survey script"). Once you have that lined up, get the code from that which is to be placed into your webpage.
In 123WW, click on the page where you want the survey input script to appear, then click at the top where it says Insert - then click HTML Code (if it's Java Script then click Java Script). Paste the code in the box and click Okay. It will be placed on your page where you clicked your mouse.
Here's a recommended survey system - YouAskThem.com
Q: How can I open and work on multiple files at the same time?
A: You can open up multiple files. Like any Windows program, click on the "dash" or "double boxes" at the top right of the document screen and they will minimize or half-size, then you can drag a corner to resize if you wish.
Q: How do I add a subscription form to my pages?
A: Subscription boxes are easy.
Simple copy the code from your Autoresponder provider or script
In your 123WW page, simply place your mouse cursor at the place you want to put the subscription form
The go up to the top line and click on Insert then HTML Code
Paste the code you got from Autoresponder
Click Okay
The form is inserted into your page where you placed your mouse cursor
Q: How do I FTP my files to my webserver using File Zilla?
A: Here's how...
1. Open up File Zilla
2. Go to: File
3. Site MGR.
4. Click the New Site Button
5. Click rename button and rename your site.
6. In the host window put your website URL in without the http://www. e.g. mysite.com
Note: Keep server type set at the default FTP setting.
7. Login type - select normal ( notice the username & password windows become active)
8. Put in your username and password. This is info you should have received from your host server company.
Do not check the box "Don't save password".
Note: Before clicking the Connect button make sure you have navigated to you local web files through your FTP program. For details on how to do this see the info below
9. After navigating to your local web files Click the Connect button.
Note: Sometimes you must drag the perimeters of the File Zilla windows down to see the server activity or it may appear that nothing is happening when it actually is.
10. Click Save and exit to Save your FTP site settings.
Other important FTP steps to cover before you begin the above steps:
Navigating for your Web files through your FTP program:
Your web host company will provide you with a username and a password that must be put into your FTP program. This sensitive info and when put into your FTP program will allow you access to your online web files. When you FTP to your server, be sure to click on to open and upload into a folder that says public or html.
These are usually the folders to upload your website that will allow your website to be viewed online. Check with your hosting company to make sure as they may use different named folders for this.
FTP navigation to find your local website files
This example is based on your web folders being set up as:
My Documents>MyWebs>YourWebSite folder for illustration purposes only.
1. Open up your FTP program and locate your site by navigating to My Documents>MyWebs>YourWebSite folder.
2. Click to open YourWebSite folder so you can see all the folders in your site coming from your local drive on the left side of your FTP program.
Note: The Left side of the FTP program represents your Local PC files where you will be copying your website FROM and over TO the live server files. The Right Side of the FTP main window represents the live server files that will accept your files to copy up online.
File Zilla and other FTP programs refers to this as Local Site and Remote
Site. We'll refer to it as Left and Right so you can visually get the hang of how the flow works.
3. Now, as the right side of the FTP program is populated with folders and files from your online server, you will then be able to drag/copy any new or updated files over from the left to the right side of the FTP program.
All updated files can be viewed live online after copying your web files up to the server.
Note: When drag copying be sure to highlight a file and hold your mouse down on it while you drag it over from the left side to the right side of your FTP program.
Optional: To copy online web files from your Live Server (coming from the Right Side of your FTP program back over to your Local PC web files on the Left Side) you do just the opposite of the drag/copy procedure as described above. You drag/copy from the Right side back to the Left side windows of your FTP program.
Q. How do I create a download page?
A. 1) Create a new folder within your website root directory
and name this folder to hold your download file items which
may be PDF, EXE or ZIP files, etc. For the sake of example
lets name the download folder; dl-products. You know that
means download products. And let's name your product ebook-
xyz.pdf.
Copy your download files like; ebook-xyz.pdf into the dl-
products folder. you can have several download items in your
download folders named anything you want to name them.
2) To make a download page you create a new webpage in 123ww
3) Add written content to your webpage that will instruct
your visitors on downloading.
4) To create download links write text that says something
like; Click here now to download item X. Now Highlight that
text in 123ww and while it's still highlighted you go to the
Menu > Insert > Hyperlink > URL box and type in the web
address to create your download web address.
Note: This is where you have to add all the file name
elements into the web address as such:
http://www.YourSite.com/dl-products/ebook-xyz.pdf
Also: Be sure not to have any space between your characters
when creating your download links or any http:// links used
for websites.
Therefore, you include the http:// which is already added in
123ww. Then you add in www. Then your website .com or .net
domain name (could be .org, etc) then the download folder
name which in this example was "dl-products" and finally the
file name which in this example we called ebook-xyz.pdf.
Notice each element included within the link created from.
Domain Site name >Folder> File. The product file is within
the folder and is linked in the above web address so when
you give out the download web address it can be found and
downloaded.
IMPORTANT: When you create this download address you must
understand the navigation of it as you are building this on
YOUR computer's hard drive first THEN after it's completed,
you then must load the files up to your web server. That's
called FTP, file transport protocol. I have a free report
that tells you how to do it and you can get it here:
