Trying to export html to dreamweaver but save images as pngs.

I'm designing a floating site. My workflow is PS=====>Fireworks====>Dreamweaver. I made a navbar in FW with a transparent background and exported html to dreamweaver. I inserted the fireworks htm, put it online and it looks terrible. You can see it here:
http://www.njtraininggrounds.com/thirddaydesign.com/identity.html
Don't worry about the portfolio button, I know what's going on there. But I can't figure out why there is "stairstepping" on the logo and on all the navbar buttons. This is the first time I've ever created a floating site. I just put a jpeg for repeat using the dreamweaver css, and then inserted the rest in a table. I got some good replies in dreamweaver forums, but they all centered around saving the images when you export as pngs or as transparent gifs with a green matt. How can I do this with fireworks cs3?
Could anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much.
Wil

The GIF format supports only one value of transparency. Your text, when anti-aliased against whatever background in Fireworks (transparent?), probably looks fine. When you export, though, you lose the smooth transition. (If you zoom in, you can see the blending of text to background and that's what you're losing.)
You have two options.
You can still use the GIF format. Just pick a green value out of your background image and use that for your canvas. Then, when you export, set that color to transparent. Where the pixels of the text and that color blend for the anti-aliasing, you'll have opaque pixels, but they'll look all right against your background image.
Use a PNG8, which is an indexed palette like the GIF, but it supports semi-transparent colors. When you go to export, you may want to add more colors using the eye dropper tool, as FW doesn't quite pick out all the values it might for a smooth image. See this article:
http://blogs.sitepoint.com/2007/09/18/png8-the-clear-winner/
(I like exporting through File>Image Preview, myself.)

How to save images as png or jpg?

Hi!
I just made a picture in the new photoshop cs6 beta and I want to save it in the png or jpg file-format, but there isn`t any possibility I found to save it. In tha Save As-Dialog there are just seven possibilities to save. Without png and jpg.
Thanks.
Screenshot:
Ps: I`ll like to save it in the icon (*.ico) format. Is that possible?

You're confusing the total number of bits (8 bits of RGB+Transparency = 32 bits, a misleading number), with the bits per channel (32 bit floating point, which makes RGB+T = 128 bits total).
32 bit PNG is a nomenclature that needs to go away - the number could mean 1 channel at 32 bits/channel, 2 channels of 16 bits each, or 4 channels of 8 bits each. (or more if PNG supported more bit depths)
In Photoshop, you're using bits per channel. You want 8 bits per channel, not 32.

Suddenly my pc wants to save images as .png but I want it to save images as .jpg What do I do?

Any help anyone can give?

HI
just change the extension of the file to .png to .jpg ...
it would surelly helps!

ID ePUB export converts all *inline* anchored JPEG images to PNG?

During ePUB export, when Image Conversion = Automatic, anchored JPEG images with Position = Inline are converted to PNG. If Anchored Object Position = Custom, the same images stay JPEG. Anyone know a better way to avoid than the less-than-ideal options below?
Less than idea options:
a) Use Image Conversion = JPEG (would also convert existing .gif and .png images)
b) Specify Object Export Options for each image frame that contains a JPEG.
Maybe this is just a bug.

Here's the definition from the InDesign Help file:
Image Conversion
Lets you choose whether the optimized images in your document are converted to GIF, JPEG, or PNG. Choose Automatic to let InDesign decide which format to use in each instance. Choosing PNG disables the image compression settings; use PNG for lossless images or for images that include transparency.
Choosing Automatic means InDesign decides which format to use. It doesn't mean keep the same format.

Exporting HTML

Hi all,
I'm trying to generate HTML content out of selected articles on my documents via JavaScript. I though it would be as easy as exporting a pdf but apparently is not. The only solution I can think of is this: tag every Paragraph Style, export the XML, apply XSLT and keep only the paragraph styles from the articles I want and then get the HTML.
I think I can do that (not sure how it will turn out) but it seems to me a lot of going around... Any other ideas for this?
Thanks in advance.
Hector

Eric,
Thanks, I'll try this way then. I'm kind of new to all this, so forgive if this is a stupid question. My main concern is this: how do you add, in the XSLT file, the CSS style for each tag, or paragraph style? (I have the CSS from exporting manually the HTML but not sure where to apply it here).
And how do you get from Indesign, via exporting filtered XML and HTML and not an XML. Below my simple XSL with a line <xsl:output method="html"/> trying to export html but no success, still exports as xml. Again, I´m sure am missing something important.
Also, how do you link an XSL to javascript?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="StylePruebacss.css">
<html>
<body>
      <xsl:for-each select="Root/Story">
       <div><xsl:value-of select="BT1"/></div>
      </xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks again.
Hector

Inserting fireworks html into dreamweaver css

I have been using Fireworks CS4 to design layouts and export CSS into Dreamweaver CS4, which works just fine.
I want to import a Fireworks HTML pop-up menu in my CSS based Dreamweaver page. I have used Fireworks Export HTML and Dreamweaver's insert Fireworks HTML in the past but the pop-up behaviours are lost when I import it into a template that is CSS based. I figure I'm missing something simple, as usual.
Can the two be mixed? Do I need to edit the code view and insert a DIV manually or something? Can I just link to it with css somehow?
Getting rather frustrated now!

I had a lengthy reply written for this but lost it when I was logged out - seems the forum has a bit of a problem at the moment (at least for me !).
I'm not up to re-writing it all again, but in essence, I agree totally with Nancy, do not use html generated by Fireworks or any graphics program for that matter. If you were to ask the same question over at the FWs forum, you would be told the same thing, exporting HTML and CSS is ok for protypes, but not for live production sites.
TAKING FIREWORKS COMP TO DREAMWEAVER:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html
The rule of thumb is to design the layout in FWs but build the site in Dreamweaver. The Spry menus are much better than the old popup menus, but the customisation of them does depend on your knowledge of CSS.
Customizing a Spry Menu:
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize1.php
There are many websites that show how to use CSS to create nicely styled menus, including Dropdowns and I'm sure with a lot less code bloat :-)

On "save image as...", Firefox requests a download location

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Browser: Firefox 4.0.1
I recently did a clean install of Windows and all related programs, Firefox included. I now find that, no matter what, Firefox always asks me where to save my file when I right click an image and select "Save image as..." Because my job often requires me to pick and choose several images from a given site at a time, this is a big hassle and add a lot of extra time and clicking.
I would love to know how to make it stop asking me to choose a location every single time I download a simple image. It is infuriatingly frustrating.
This behavior is consistent whether I have chosen a default download directory in the options or if I have instructed it to "always ask" me. Changing this option does not change the behavior.
Incidentally, the extension DownloadSort seems to be broken now, as well, which is odd because I was running Firefox 4 prior to my reformat and it was working as intended. Disabling or enabling this extension has no effect on the issue. Similarly, I installed Automatic Save Folder in a desperate attempt to fix the problem, but it appears to be inactive as well.

Regarding the file saving inconsistencies, great point! I'd recommend [http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback submitting some feedback] or [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ filing a bug report]...I may even file a bug myself if I get some time. Ideally, you want to be able to right-click on any image on the page and have it saved to the specified default download directory without a prompt, correct?
I also tried to reproduce the Firefox experience with ''Save Image As'' you described before previously with different Firefox versions, but was unsuccessful as well...I'm assuming the DownloadSort add-on was adding that nifty feature.
Could you point me to a page/site where Google Chrome behaves differently from Firefox in regards to ''Save Image As...''? From my experience, Google Chrome does the same thing as Firefox, but I may not be using the browsers in the same way. I suspect the developers prompt for a filename/location because often websites give very long and/or non-descriptive filenames for images, so they figure users probably want to rename the file...alas that's no help in this situation!
I feel like I'm now just throwing a bunch of add-ons at you in the hopes that one might stick (I'm not, honest!), but I also stumbled across another [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-picker/ add-on called Image Picker] that I think may find useful. After the add-on is installed, it will add a ''Pick Images'' option in your context menu (right-click on a page with images), then selecting ''Pick Images'' will bring up a small window with all images on the page from which you can select in the menu and save to a folder.
In any case, no pressure to mark your question as solved! :)
P.S. If you must change browsers, at least give [http://www.opera.com/ Opera] a go if you haven't already. ;-)

Trying to export to .swf but keep getting an .html format file

Surprise surprise, I'm confused again.
I am trying to export a Keynote '08 slide presentation to .swf to enable it to play in my web site. When I look at the exported files, it has the .swf extension but the info for the file shows it as a html document. when I upload it, it won't play and I get the message that QuickTime can not open that file type.
Any ideas please?
Cheers...Scotty

SWF stands for Small Web Format and, nowadays, is used to embed a flash video into a browser viewable document.
More details about SWF here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF
The .html file simply contains the link to the .swf document so you will need both the files to view the presentation inside a browser, i.e. open the html and you will be presented with the video.
I know that some .swf play directly but the right way is to use the html file or better, it's possible to make a swf self running but not all the applications act this way.
Don't forget that without the flash player browser plugin the file will not be visible.
cheers

I am trying to export "bookmarks.html" for another browser but No HTML file is created! How can I fix this?

Bookmarks> Organize bookmarks> ★ Export HTML > "export bookmarks file" window appears. Save as "Bookmarks.HTML" Desktop> NO FILE IS PRODUCED!

Does Firefox create an HTML file (bookmarks.html in the profile folder) on exit if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page ?
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Export_bookmarks

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Firefox 3.6.3 will allow me to import bookmarks, however it will not allow me to export bookmarks, I click on export html, and it does nothing but close the dropdown menu

have been trying to export my bookmarks from firefox. am running a new installation of kubuntu 10.04.. I can import any and all I've tried. I'm using firefox synch, but the only bookmarks I can import from firefox are the defaults... nothing I've imported is available to import to my other browser, Konqueror.

hi,
in firefox 4.x; you click on firfox in the upper left corner, which is presumably similar to 3.x. Then go to bookmarks, in the upper right corner of open tab. this will then open another tab...DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER....just left click on bookmarks. This will open a window where you will see "import and backup" once you highlight that area, a dropdown with "export to html"......will be there.
