Favorez can be used to generate a website navigation system based on HTML frames. For this purpose a special Favorez skin has been created named Website. The left side panel of the Website frames page will contain your links. Clicking on those links will load the associated pages in the right side panel. This is a common layout for many websites.

 

Who is it for?

The Website skin is targeted at people who already have created a number of interesting HTML pages and are now looking for ways to make their pages easily available on their homepage.

 

How does it work?

The fasted way to find out how this skin works is simply to generate a page with it. The first time you do this you will get a frames page with a couple of concise instructions on how to use it. Click Website Crash Course for a copy of the required steps to get started.

 

Uploading website navigation

To make your website navigation available to the world you need to upload some files to the web server of your ISP. All required files are located in the Website output folder. To access this folder simply choose View Files from the Favorez menu. The address bar of your browser should now read something like this:

 

C:\Program Files\Favorez\Output\Website

 

You may copy this path for use in your FTP client program.

 

Surf to Website

Anyone can surf to your website once you have copied all the files for the Website to you homepage. The address to surf to would be something similar to:

 

http://www.myprovider.com/~myaccount/index.html

 

In this example all Website files have been uploaded to the root of your homepage.

 

index.html

The Website skin generates a file named index.html. This file is intended as the default HTML page that the webserver must show when someone surfs to your home page. Some webservers use a different default file name. If your website navigation does not work right away, then you may need to rename index.html to one of the following possible names: index.htm, default.html, default.html. Contact your ISP if you suspect they use yet a another default file name.
