Step 7: Rebuild the links and enjoy the results

If you try to use an hyperlink associated to one of the imported web files (for example, if you try the "HTMLslicer" hyperlink) it may not work or it may do it through the Internet connection. To correct this situation, do List > Hyperlink-Adjust List; a Progress dialog will be displayed. Once its activity is completed, click the Dispose button. The displayed table shows the same content except at the Status column of the shortcut item related to the web page. Its status message starts with the value of 6 (State value of "Page Hyperlink-Adjusted"). If you try the above-mentioned hyperlink, it will now work through local file usage, not through an Internet connection -- this is much faster.

You may have observed a small difference between the web page from the Internet and your local copy of the web pages. The scratch-like background had disappeared. This is not a bug, you might want to add an extra item in the list of expected HTML tags and attributes that may contain a reference to an embedded web file. BigFeet web pages use table tags for embedding a background image in a cell such as: <TD BACKGROUND="myimage.gif" ... other attributes>; you can add the capability of importing such background images. To add such capability:

  1. Do File > Configuration for displaying the Configuration dialog
  2. Select the Embedded Panel,
  3. At the component: <Tags & Attributes of Embedded Web Files,
  4. Edit its list field (do not worry about its previous content) so that it contains: <TD BACKGROUND
    Note: The previous list item will not be deleted if you follow the instructions for such component
  5. While the cursor is still in the editable field, press the ENTER key; you will observe that the button at the left changes from "Delete" into "Add"
  6. Click that "Add" button
  7. Then confirm the new configuration by clicking on the OK button of the Configuration dialog
    Note: If you want to make it permanent, click the "Save" button before clicking the "OK" button

The new configuration is effective for all newly imported web pages. You can try by re-importing the web page(s) as follows:

  1. Select a shortcut item
  2. Do Item > Revert to Named State, this item state value becomes 2, meaning "Named"
  3. Repeat step 6 and 7, to re-import items whose state is set to "Named"
  4. Check the results, the related web page will be displayed as intended
