Importing htm content made elsewhere 1

[greiggy]

I’m finding it difficult to import web pages and other content created outside Dreamweaver. Using the site commands I can only select the start page of htm page and then have to spend a lot of time setting up all the links to the related files. There must be an easier way . . .

Have you created a new site and then copied all of the pages into it?
If they are linked relative to the documents DW should just pick up the html and run with it.
Paste the code from one of your pages to see if we can spot whats happening.

I’m talking about adding pages to an existing site, most of which has been constructed in Dreamweaver.

When I add a page with linked elements made outside the DreamWeaver environment, I can point to the main .htm page but I have to construct the links for everything else one by one.

If the new links are document relative ie.

<a href="../folder/somefile.htm">Link</a>

or similar then dw will be ok as long as the files are called the same and are in the same folder structure
If the files are site relative ie.

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somesite.com/folder/somefile.htm">Link</a>[/URL]

Then you will have to update all of the new links. You could look at find and replace to do this for you, maybe

I’ll check it out, Cheech. I would have thought that anything created externally would be document relative.

Depends how you set the links in whatever package they were created in.
