 Acknowledgments
If you’ve ever looked at the list of names that scrolls by at the end of a movie, you
know that it “takes a village” to create a work of art. Books are not that much different,
and it would be impossible for me to acknowledge the contributions of everyone
who has helped make this a manuscript that I am proud to put my name on. In no
particular order, they are

• Megg Morin, my acquisitions editor. If you are ever lucky enough to write
a computer book, you can’t do any better than Megg, who is patient and
knowledgeable and protects her authors. I have written many other books for
Megg, and working with her is always an enjoyable experience.
• Carly Stapleton, my acquisitions coordinator. After I get done writing and
shooting screens and pulling my hair out (what there is left), its time to turn
my documents into a book. Carly keeps track of everything and makes sure
everything gets turned in properly.
• Janet Walden and her department, who took all the stuff I sent them and turned
it into this book. They were fun to work with, which has not always been the case
with other books.
• Oana Ilyes, my technical editor. Fusion is not a well-known product (though
that is a shame), so finding someone who was intimately familiar with it and
could make sure I got everything correct from a technical standpoint was hard.
We really lucked out in finding Oana, who lives in Romania, yet speaks English
(or writes it, anyway) very well. She made sure that things were correct, and
made constructive suggestions on phrasing, content, and structure that improved
the book.
• Chris Dolan, who ran the Fusion beta program and always made sure I had the
latest version—and answered my questions before I found Oana.
• John White, at NetObjects technical support. Some of the more complex ins
and outs were more than I could handle, and John was my “go to” guy for the
really tough questions. And when work needed to be done to get the site up and
running, John was able to take care of that as well. The supplemental material
on the web site (www.htde-netobjectsfusion.com) would not have been possible
without John’s help.

xvi Introduction
• Micah Klesick, who runs his own web site on Fusion, and who encouraged me
to learn the software and write the book. His excellent web site can be found at
www.learnNOF.com.
• Finally, my wife Marisa, who had to live through my working on two books at
once, and had to get used to my answering every request to do something around
the house with “I’m working on my book.” She is a writer herself (of children’s
books), though she shakes her head at the idea of working so hard on a book for a
product that is continually evolving.

Introduction
In the beginning, there was Notepad. Believe it or not, people used to code their web
sites using HTML and a text editor. This was horribly inefficient and required a good
understanding of HTML coding and a programmer’s mindset. This never appealed to me.
As the years have progressed, applications have appeared that make it possible for
you to build a web site pretty much the way you create a word processing document.
That is, you can build the web pages and link them together without writing much (or
any) HTML code, and the applications give you a pretty good idea of what the finished
pages will look like on the Web. These applications have evolved into two categories.
The first is a free or very low cost simple web builder, often hosted remotely by your
web presence provider. These applications tend to have limited functionality but are
fine for quickly creating web sites that are largely composed of text and some images.
The second type of application tends to be quite expensive ($500 or more) and provides
powerful toolsets for full web functionality—with an associated long learning curve that
requires a considerable investment in time and effort to learn to use well.
But what about the middle ground—the applications that allow quite a bit of
power but are relatively easy to use and learn? And don’t cost a fortune? This category
is surprisingly sparsely populated. Microsoft’s discontinued FrontPage addressed
this need, but its replacement requires an infrastructure that only an IT department
could be proud of. Fortunately, those of us who would like to have a product in this
category are not out of luck. NetObjects Fusion has been around for many years,
and it improves by leaps and bounds with each new version. Version 11 adds a lot
of functionality and streamlines some things that could have been easier in earlier
versions. And, unlike some other products, it doesn’t require a special configuration
on the web server—it generates all the code it needs to run without any help.
How to Do Everything: NetObjects Fusion 11 is designed to help you understand
what Fusion can do, and become productive quickly. The book is solution driven—if
you need to do something (such as add an image and create hyperlinks for it), you
can find a section that will tell you how to do that. You can read the book from cover
to cover, but you don’t have to.
 Introduction xvii

Who Should Read This Book

The book, like the software itself, is directed at people who are serious about building
and maintaining web sites. This is because if you only need to do simple things, then
you could make do with the freebies that are out there. You don’t have to be vastly
experienced at building web sites, because the book addresses the simple things
(building pages, adding text and images, and so on) first, and enables you to grow as
you gain more experience and need to add functionality. As you work on your web
site, you are going to discover things you need to do. Fusion will make that possible,
and this book will describe how to get the work done. For example, there are some
pretty involved features, such as collecting data that is input by a site visitor into a
form and storing it in a database. The book provides a detailed walk-through of how to
use the software to accomplish this as well—when you’re ready.

How This Book Is Organized

How to Do Everything: NetObjects Fusion 11 is organized in logical blocks. The very
first thing you’ll learn is how to navigate through the software, use the various views,
configure the toolbars and panels, and create web sites and pages. These are covered
in Chapters 1, 2, and 3.
Once you know how to navigate and create pages, it’s time to place information
on those pages. The next section teaches you the ins and outs of placing text on a
page, positioning that text, and formatting it to your liking. Graphics (including vector
objects) and sound add interest to your pages, and you can arrange almost anything in
grids by using tables. These topics are covered in Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7.
If you’ve ever seen a web site that is impossible to navigate but has an
overwhelming number of fonts, colors, and such, you’ll know how important it is to
design and structure your site correctly. You can establish a common look to your web
site (and customize that look) and set up links and buttons to navigate through your
site using the information in Chapters 8 and 9.
Chapters 10–15 show you how to add some pretty advanced functionality to your
web site. This includes two kinds of photo gallery, Java and ActiveX controls, a search
facility, a site map, and forms (with the necessary database to hold the information).
You can even add FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions), a Guestbook, and security,
which requires a user to sign up and use a userid and password to access the web site.
Finally, you can publish the contents of a database or spreadsheet onto a web page.
Of course, at some point you’ll need to publish your web site to your web
presence provider. This is covered in Chapter 16. You may want to skip ahead and
look at that chapter when you are ready to publish your site.

About This Book’s Companion Web Site

When you’re writing about web-building software, there are just some things that are
pretty hard to describe—and that work much better if you can actually try them.
xviii Introduction
To that end, I set up a web site, which you can find at www.htde-netobjectsfusion
.com. There you can try things like a Guestbook, check out Frequently Asked
Questions, navigate using navigation bars and image maps, view data published
from a database, and get explanations of various components. I didn’t try to make
the site especially “pretty,” but you can certainly leave me feedback (using the form
specifically for that purpose) on what you’d find useful for me to add to the site.

HOW TO…
● Understand the different views
● Change what you see in each view
● Show, hide, and relocate the toolbars and panels
● Get Help from NetObjects Fusion

N etObjects Fusion provides two main views of a web site: Site view and Page view.
By switching back and forth between these two views, you can quickly build up a
site structure as well as customize the individual web pages in the site.

Understand the Site View

The Structure tab of Site view (see Figure 1-1) provides a view that shows the
structure of the web site, much like an organization chart. Not everyone thinks of
their web site in terms of a structure, but various tools included with NetObjects
Fusion (such as the Navigation Bars that help you navigate through the site) leverage
this structure to perform useful tasks automatically. For more information on site
navigation, see Chapter 9.

To switch to Site view from any other view, click the Site button in the Views
Note Bar toolbar.

Zoom In and Out

You can change how much of the structure you see in Site view, zooming in to enlarge
the structure or zooming out to see more of the structure (especially helpful for large
web sites). To change the zoom level, click the magnifying glass tool in the Standard

Use the ALT key to switch tools temporarily. For example, if you currently have the
Tip Zoom Out tool selected, pressing the ALT key switches to the Zoom In tool as long
as you have the ALT key pressed.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 5

If you don’t like the default vertical orientation (seen previously in Figure 1-1),
you can switch to a horizontal orientation by choosing View | Orientation | Horizontal.
Use View | Orientation | Vertical to switch back.

Understand the Relationship Between Pages

Each of the rounded squares in Site view represents a page in the web site. For
example, the Home page is at the top of the stack and is the starting point for
navigating the site. Each page on a given level is a “sibling” of the pages on that level,
and the automatic Navigation Bars (see Chapter 9) provide a way to navigate along
the lines either to siblings or to the child pages of a page (the pages at the next level
down). The dark lines represent the navigation paths through the site. However, if
you exclude a page from navigation, it won’t show up in the Navigation Bars, and the
connecting line is drawn in gray. The page also displays a red “not” symbol in the
upper-right corner.
6 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

You can collapse the structure (for viewing only)

by clicking the down arrow that appears below any
page that has child pages. If you do so, the down
arrow turns into a plus sign—clicking the plus sign
re-expands the site structure.

Rearrange the Pages

in Site View
As you’ll see in Chapter 3, you can build the
structure for an entire web site without leaving
Site view, and in fact, this is a handy way to lay
out your web site quickly. As it turns out, however,
sometimes you’ll need to rearrange the structure of
the web site, and this is easy to do in Site view as well.
The first step is to select the page you want to move. The selected page (FAQ,
in the following illustration) shows a blue border, unless the page has been excluded
from navigation, in which case it shows a red border. Either way, the next step is to
click and drag the page (and its children, if it has any) on top of a different page in the
web site and watch for the red arrow to appear (visible in the image as a downward-
pointing wedge at the bottom of the page thumbnail) that indicates where the page
will be dropped when you release the mouse button.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 7

Here is what the various arrows mean:

• Right or left arrow Indicates that the page (and its children) will be dropped as
a sibling on the indicated side of the target web page.
• Up arrow Indicates that the dragged page will become the parent of the target
page.
• Down arrow Indicates that the dragged page will become the child of the target
page. If the target page already has child pages, the dragged page becomes the
new parent of the existing child pages.

Work with the Outline View

A variation on Site view is available if you click the Outline tab (see Figure 1-2). The
site itself is displayed like an outline in the left pane, and a view-only set of page
properties are shown in columns in the right pane.
Clicking a page in the left pane that has child pages displays the properties for the
child pages (including the “Child Name”) in the right pane. If the selected page in the
left pane has no child pages, the Child Name column will display “None” in the right
pane.

FIGURE 1-2 View the properties of the children of the selected page in the Outline tab of
Site view.
8 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

Toggle the Panels with the View Menu

A limited variety of “panels” are available in Site view, such as the Property Inspector
panel visible at the right edge of the screen in Figure 1-1, seen previously. You can
turn a particular panel on or off by using the entries in the View menu. Each entry is
a toggle: select the item to turn the panel on; reselect it to hide the panel. The entries
for panels in the View menu include

• Standard Tools This is actually the toolbar that includes the Select tool and the
Zoom tool.
• Property Inspector Displays a variety of properties for the selected item. In
Site view, these are pretty much limited to the properties of the selected page, but
in Page view (discussed later in this chapter), the Property Inspector can display
page properties as well as properties for other items you select (such as tables,
images, and hyperlinks) on a page.
• Tasks Checklist A prebuilt list of tasks associated with the task category chosen
from the drop-down list at the top of the Tasks Checklist.
• Output This panel is a list of tasks you have done as you create and edit the
site or pages within the site. When the Tasks Checklist and the Output panel are
both open, they share a panel—pick the one you want to see from the tabs at the
bottom of the panel.

Understand the Page View

Page view (see Figure 1-3) is where you create web pages and add text, images,
hyperlinks, tables, multimedia objects, and much more. Once you have the basic
structure of your web site laid out, you’ll spend the vast bulk of your time in Page
view.

To switch to Page view from any other view, click the Page button in the Views
Note Bar toolbar. From Site view, you can also double-click one of the pages in the site
structure.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 9

FIGURE 1-3 Use Page view to edit your web pages

As with Site view, you have toolbars, panels, and layout tools. You can also
configure what items you see on each page, and whether the Page labels are visible
or not (these can be helpful in identifying page areas and borders when you first start
using the software).

Zoom In and Out

In addition to the Zoom tool in the Standard Tools toolbar, you can pick a zoom
level from the fly-out menu that appears when you choose View | Zoom. Values
 10 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

How to... Configure the Tasks Checklist for Your Own Use
The Tasks Checklist by default contains a set of tasks for building an overall web site. As
you complete these tasks, you can check them off in the list.
But what if you want to add your own tasks or task groupings to help you make sure
you’ve done everything you need to? You can do exactly that, using the tools that appear
in the toolbar at the top of the Tasks Checklist panel. If you can’t see the tools, it is
because Tasks Checklist isn’t being displayed wide enough. To remedy this situation, click
and drag the right edge to expand the view.

The first step is to establish your own categories for groups of tasks. For example, you
might want a category for creating individual pages. To create a category, either click the
Manage Categories icon (second from the right end) or choose Manage Tasks Checklist
from the drop-down list near the top-left corner of the Tasks Checklist panel. Either way,
a list of current categories appears—initially, just the Current Site category. Choose the
Add Category button (the left-most button in the new toolbar), fill in the name of the
category in the Task Category dialog box, and click OK. Note that you can also select a
category name and choose Remove Category (center icon) or Edit Category (right icon) to
perform those tasks on the selected category.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 11

The next step is to add tasks to the category. To do that, pick the category from the
drop-down list (if you just built a category, it now appears in that list). This makes the
complete set of icons available for adding, deleting, and editing task names, as well as
rearranging the order of the tasks using the Move Up and Move Down icons.

range from 25% to 200%. To quickly return to a 100% view, you can use the CTRL-0
keyboard shortcut.

Turn on Rulers, Guides, and Grids

To help you lay out your page, NetObjects Fusion provides rulers and guides (CTRL-U),
and a grid (CTRL-D). These can be turned off or on from the View menu. To configure
the units on the ruler, choose Tools | Options | Application to open the Application
12 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

Options dialog box. Click the Program tab, and choose the Measurement Units from
the drop-down list near the bottom of the dialog box.

You can add a guide (seen previously in Figure 1-3) to the ruler by clicking in the
ruler. The guide (which looks like a blue triangle with a line) helps you align page
items by dragging them to line up an edge with the guide line. If the guide is in the
wrong place, simply click and drag it to a new location in the ruler. To discard the
guide entirely, click and drag it up (left ruler) or left (top ruler) off the ruler.
To help you align objects on the page even more, you can turn on “snapping,”
which snaps the item you are dragging to either the guides (View | Snap To Guides
or CTRL-SHIFT-U) or the grid (View | Snap To Grid or CTRL-SHIFT-D). You can even have
various objects snap to each other’s edges by turning on snap to object outlines (View |
Snap To Object Outlines).

As you’ll discover in future chapters, the web page is made up of two main
Note component parts: the Layout and the MasterBorder. You can see the MasterBorder
on the left side and the top (including the Banner) of the page in Figure 1-3. You
can adjust the split between the MasterBorder and the central portion of the page
(the Layout) by clicking and dragging the margin markers, which look like thin
gray rectangles in the ruler.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 13

Choose a Workspace
Although you can pick a workspace in Site view, this feature is much more useful in
Page view. A workspace is a snapshot of your working area, including which panels
you have open (and/or minimized), the panel locations, the toolbar layouts, and
which layout tools (such as the ruler) you are using. To choose the workspace to
use, select View | Workspace and pick the workspace from the submenu. By default,
Fusion provides two workspaces: Basic and Advanced. Once you have modified one
of the default workspaces and exit the software, the Last Used workspace becomes
available in the View | Workspace menu.
Probably the most useful aspect of workspaces is the ability to create and save
different workspaces when working on different types of web sites. If you are working
on a single site, you may either use the Last Used workspace or save your own
workspace.
Just lay out everything the way you want it, and then use the following steps:

1. Choose View | Workspace | Save Workspace As.

2. Fill in the name of the Workspace and make sure that the workspace is saved to
the Layout folder.
3. Click Save. From then on, the workspace will appear in the View | Workspace
submenu.

The best way to hide everything on the screen and provide a big working area is
Tip to choose View | Full Screen (CTRL-SPACE). When you do that, a “Full Screen” toolbar
appears (with a single button) near the top of the screen. Click this button to
return to working with the last-defined workspace.

How to... Remove Custom Workspaces

NetObjects Fusion does not provide an easy way to remove a custom Workspace once
you create it. The only way to discard a workspace you create is to delete the workspace
file (which ends in .xml) from the Layout folder. To delete a custom workspace, use the
following steps:

1. Choose View | Workspace | Save Workspace As to open the Save As dialog box.
2. Select the custom workspace file you want to delete and press the DELETE key. Click Yes to
confirm the file deletion.
3. Once the file has been deleted, click Cancel to cancel out of the save operation.

The custom workspace still appears in the View | Workspace menu, but if you choose
it, you’ll get an error. To remove the workspace from the menu, close and reopen
NetObjects Fusion.
 14 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

Turn Page Components On and Off

The fourth section of the View menu (counting down from the top) displays a list
of page components, which you can turn on and off by making a selection from
the menu. The items are visible on the page (see Figure 1-4). Most of these items
(especially the MasterBorder) are helpful in laying out the page, but if you find
specific items too busy, you can “adjust to taste.”

Turn Panels On and Off

There are a few panels available in Site view (such as Property Inspector, Task List,
and Output panel), but Page view has a vast number of additional panels that include
the multitude of tools you need to build a web page. In addition to the panels directly

MasterBorder Page labels

Object
outlines

FIGURE 1-4 You can use the View menu to turn specific items on and off in Page view.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 15

visible in the View menu, you can select from many additional panels by selecting
them from the View | More Panels submenu.

Some of the panels (such as the first four in the

View | More Panels submenu) swap (change content)
automatically when you select an item on the page. These
are known as “property inspector” panels. For example,
if you click the page MasterBorder, the MasterBorder
Properties panel appears (by default at the top of the
stack of panels on the right side). However, if you then
click in the Layout section of the page, the MasterBorder
Properties panel is replaced by the Layout Properties
panel. In addition, you can view the Page view Options
“panel” (the fourth one in the View | More Panels
submenu) by clicking the second icon from the right in
the Page Properties panel.
16 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

Some of the panels are “compound” panels: selecting one of the options in the
View | More Panels submenu opens a whole set of panels, nested together with tabs
at the bottom so that you can switch to one of the other panels in the set. A good
example of one of these compound panels is the Site Navigation panel, which is
opened as part of the set with Object Tree and Style Tree.

Of course, you can use the techniques for moving panels (discussed later in this
Note chapter) to unhook the compound panels and make the panels individually visible.

Configure Custom Components

One of the wonderful aspects of NetObjects Fusion is that it includes a vast array
of tools. These include database tools, Flash tools, prebuilt code for FAQ, forms, a
guestbook, news reader, RSS feed, Google search, ad banners, animated buttons, and
much more. However, it can be pretty overwhelming to navigate through all these
tools to find the one you want to use. To help with this, NetObjects Fusion bundles
related tools into component groups. For example, this image shows the tools you’ll
need to build the FAQ page for your web site.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 17

To turn each component group on or off, make a selection from the View |
Components submenu.

NetObjects Fusion places the component group into its appropriate panel. For
example, if you choose to view the NOF Guestbook component group, it is placed
in the Custom Components panel. All of the Flash tools (Flash 3D Numbers, Flash
3D Letters, Flash Lines, etc.) are placed in the Flash Components panel. If you have
closed the Flash Components panel, choose View | Components and select the Flash
components you need. The Flash Components panel then displays the selected Flash
components.

Understand Page Design Mode

Page Design mode is the more or less WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)
environment where you lay out the page. You can place tables, frames, text blocks,
18 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

images, hyperlinks, buttons, and more into the page, as described later in this book.
In addition, there are elements (like the labels and object borders) that you can turn
on and off. These do not show up in the final version you see in a browser but are
helpful in designing the page.
Fusion keeps track of the pages that you have opened in a site. These pages are
added to the tabs in Page Design mode. You can then switch between these pages by
clicking the tab containing the page name in the design area. To close a page, click the
small “x” in the tab.
It may occur to you that you can open multiple pages in Page view/Design mode.
Maybe it is best to specify how it works: Fusion remembers the pages that have been
open in Page view, and adds them in tabs in Page Design mode, offering the possibility
to switch between them.

If you are in Page view but don’t see Page Design mode, click the Design button in
the lower-left corner of the working area.

Preview the Page

You can get an even better idea of what the page will look like by clicking the Preview
button near the lower-left corner of the working area. In this mode, the “extras” (such
as the labels and object outlines) are removed. You can’t edit the page in this mode,
but it appears “live”—any flash components play, and the mouse cursor turns into the
pointing hand when you pass it over a hyperlink (though you can’t click the link to
navigate to the page).
Another way to preview the page is to open it in a browser by selecting Go |
Preview (or choosing Preview from the Views Bar toolbar), selecting the browser you
want to use from the submenu, and then picking the resolution from the browser
submenu.

Did You You Can Move Items with Great Control

Know?
Clicking and dragging items certainly works for moving them, but you may have
trouble getting the degree of control you want. To move items with a finer
touch, you can select the item and move it a pixel at a time using the arrow
keys. To move it ten pixels at a time, hold down the SHIFT key while pressing an
arrow key.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 19

To configure the browser(s) to use for preview, see “Set Important Options,” later
in this chapter.
Of course, not all the features will work—many require that the site be published
to an actual web site that supports the various scripts and components you can build
into the site. But for a basic “look” at the pages, and to experiment with navigation,
Preview is really handy.

View the HTML Source

Although you don’t have to know HTML to work in NetObjects Fusion, it can be
helpful to view the HTML “source code” (see Figure 1-5) that the tool generates to
render the page. To do this, click the Code button near the lower-left corner of the
working area. The HTML source code is not editable in this view, but if you know
your way around HTML, studying the code may help you figure out why something is
not behaving the way you expect.

Navigate Your Site in Page View

Although the easiest way to navigate through your web site is to switch to Site view
and double-click the page you want to view or work on next (or double-click the page
you want in the Site Navigation panel), you can actually navigate your site from
within Page view using the Go menu.
20 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

FIGURE 1-5 The HTML that renders the web page is visible in Code mode.

The options include

• Next Page (CTRL-RIGHT ARROW) Navigates to the page to the right of the current
page at the same level.
• Previous Page (CTRL-LEFT ARROW) Navigates to the page to the left of the
current one at the same level.
• Parent (CTRL-UP ARROW) Navigates to the parent page of the current page.
• First Child (CTRL-DOWN ARROW) Navigates to the left-most child page of the
current page.
• Follow Link (CTRL-SHIFT-K) After selecting any text, image, or other object that
has a hyperlink, choose Follow Link to open that link in a browser. Note that this
does not work for the buttons or text links in Navigation Bars.

Configure the Toolbars and Panels

NetObjects Fusion provides a variety of menus, toolbars, and panels to create and edit
your web site. You have considerable power in configuring what you want to see and
how you want to arrange these tools.
 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 21

Move and Configure the Toolbars

As with many Windows applications, the toolbars and their associated tools are
located across the top of the screen, just below the menu bar. The available tools
change as you switch to different views to create and edit your web site. The toolbars
are quite flexible—you can click and drag a
toolbar to a different position in the toolbar area,
or even into the working area, where it becomes
a floating window.

To relocate a toolbar, click and drag the dotted line at the left end of the toolbar.
Note To drag a toolbar around the working area, or from the working area (where it has
become a window) back into the toolbar area, click and drag the title bar. You can
even relocate the menus, though I am not sure why you’d want to.

Each toolbar has two different display modes: Standard and Smart Layout. The
Standard display mode, which is also the default one, shows all the tools as tiny icons,
and as you move your mouse over an icon, this Standard mode displays a tooltip with
the name of the tool.

The second mode (Smart Layout) is much more useful. The toolbar uses all the
available space to show as much information as possible. As you grow the toolbar,
you’ll see larger icons and text, as shown here.

To increase or decrease the space available for a toolbar, you can either drag an
Note adjacent toolbar out of the way (giving you more room) or click and drag the
dotted line at the left end of an adjacent toolbar to lengthen or shorten it—
thereby affecting the space available for surrounding toolbars.

As the space for the toolbar shrinks, the icons

and text shrink as well, until you are left with tiny
icons that pack things in tightly.
If there isn’t enough room to show all the icons
in the toolbar, a tiny double-headed arrow appears
in the upper-right corner of the toolbar. Clicking this
button displays the “missing” icons in a drop-down
menu.
22 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

To enable Smart Layout, click the tiny down arrow at the right edge of the toolbar
and select the Smart Layout check box in the drop-down list.

Dock, Move, and Resize Panels

You can position a panel almost anywhere in the workspace by clicking and dragging
the panel title bar. As you begin to drag the panel, you’ll see a set of arrow buttons
(see Figure 1-6). If you simply ignore those buttons and click and drag the panel,

Dock against Dock against This is where the panel will end up

 Chapter 1 Navigate in NetObjects Fusion 23

it turns into a free-floating panel. However, if you drag the panel on top of one of
the arrows, it will be docked against the appropriate margin. A blue rectangle shows
where the panel will be docked when you release the left mouse button.

When you “dock against a panel,” this means that the panel you are dragging
Note docks against the edge of any panel that is already docked against the side of the
working area. For example, in Figure 1-6, if you drag a panel to dock against the
right panel, it will dock to the left of the existing MasterBorder Properties and
Site Navigation panels, shrinking the available working area. If there is no panel
already docked against the side of the working area (such as on the left side), the
dragged panel docks against that side—just as if you had chosen to dock against
the left margin. If there is a panel already docked against that side, the existing
panel is pushed out into the working area to make room for the new panel being
docked against the side of the working area.

If you drag a panel on top of another panel, you’ll see

a slightly different set of buttons, which indicate where
the panel will end up (in relation to the existing panel).
Dragging the panel on top of one of the
arrow buttons places the panel on that side of the
existing panel, as you would expect. For example,
dragging the panel on top of the down-pointing
arrow stacks the two panels, one above the other
(especially helpful in Page view, discussed later in
this chapter). However, if you drag the panel on
top of the center button, the dragged panel and
the existing panel are combined into one panel;
you pick the one you want to work with from the
tabs at the bottom of the combined panel.
You can resize free-floating panels by clicking
and dragging any margin. If the panel is docked,
you can only change the width (if docked to
the left or right side) or the height (if docked to
the top or bottom) when the panels are docked.
However, if multiple panels are docked to a side
and stacked (as shown in Figure 1-7), you can
change the split between the panels by clicking
and dragging the margin between the panels.

Collapse Panels to Move Them Out of the Way

There are a variety of other controls for manipulating panels as well. First of
all, you can close the panel by clicking the small “x” in the upper-right corner.
Just to the left of the “x” is a small pin icon. Clicking this pin collapses the
panel and places it out of the way. If the panel is docked against a side of the

FIGURE 1-7 Click and drag the split between panels to change the amount of
room each panel has.

workspace, the collapsed panel shows up as a narrow slide against that side, as shown
here (against the right margin).
If, instead, the panel is a free-floating workspace
window, nothing seems to happen until you click
somewhere not on the panel, at which point the panel
“rolls up” to show just the title bar for the panel.

To redisplay an unpinned panel, click the title bar either in the workspace (free-
Note floating panel) or in the margin (docked panel). To redisplay the panel normally,
click the pin again in the displayed panel.

Set Important Options

As with most programs, NetObjects Fusion has a large number of options you can set
to configure how the program works. Some of the more important ones include

• Set the new page size From the

General tab of the Current Site Options
dialog box (choose Tools | Options |
Current Site), fill in the Height and Width
for the new page in the New Page Size
section.
• Set the Site Generation scripts There
are two main “languages” (PHP and
ASP) for generating scripts that run
functionality like FAQs on your web
site. Which one you use will depend on
information provided by your web site
provider. To select one of these options,
pick it from the Scripts drop-down list in
the Site Generation section of the Current
Site Options dialog box. If the web site
provider can use AJAX technology
(which provides powerful interactive
functionality), you can select the Enable
AJAX Technology check box.
• Configure the Program items A variety of check boxes appear in the Program
tab of the Application Options dialog box. These check boxes enable you to
configure how the program opens and saves files. They include the four options,
described next.
• Auto Save Select this check box
to have NetObjects Fusion save the
file (ending in .nod) periodically.
I generally leave this check box
unselected. Although auto save
ensures you don’t lose your work,
it also means that you can’t easily
change your mind about recent
changes by simply closing and
reopening the site.
• Application window maximized
at startup Select this check box to
open a full-size application window
when you start the program, saving
you the trouble of dragging the
window border to or maximizing
the window to give yourself more
working room.
• Open to most recently used
file at startup If you’re like me,
you normally work on a specific
26 Part I Build Web Sites and Pages

web site, rather than maintaining a whole bunch of different sites. If that suits
your working style, select this check box in the Program tab of the Application
Options dialog box so that NetObjects Fusion opens and automatically loads
the last file (web site) you used. If you don’t select this check box, NetObjects
Fusion opens to the “Online View” (see Figure 1-8) where you can pick from
recently used files.
• Open file to most recent view If you really want to pick up where you left
off, select this check box as well, which then opens in the same view (such as
Site view, Page view, etc.) as when you closed the NetObjects Fusion the last
time you used it.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S.

copyright law means that no one owns a United States
copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy
and distribute it in the United States without permission and
without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the
General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and
distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the
PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project
Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if
you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the
trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the
Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for
copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is
very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such
as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
research. Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and
printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING in
the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright
law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially
commercial redistribution.

law in the United States and you are located in the United
States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying,
distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works
based on the work as long as all references to Project
Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will

by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full
Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without charge
with others.

the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying,
displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works
based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The
Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright
status of any work in any country other than the United States.

Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed,
viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United

States and most other parts of the world at no cost and

If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the
phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the

License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright
holder found at the beginning of this work.

• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who

notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt

Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or
destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
Project Gutenberg™ works.

any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in
the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90
days of receipt of the work.

distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™

below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these
efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium
on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as,
but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data,
transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property
infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be
read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in
paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark,
and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic
work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for
damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE
THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT
EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE
THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you
paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you
received the work from. If you received the work on a physical
medium, you must return the medium with your written
explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the
defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu
of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.
If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund
in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set

forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’,
WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this
agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this
agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the
maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable
state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the

Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the
Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any
volunteers associated with the production, promotion and
distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless
from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that
arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you
do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project
Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or
federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions
to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500

West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact
 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
