| <div>You can use the New HTML File wizard to create HTML and XHTML |
| |
| files and framesets. You can also use this wizard to create compact HTML and |
| |
| WML 1.3 files<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span>You can also create a WML file by selecting <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> > <span class="uicontrol">New</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Other</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Web</span> > <span class="uicontrol">WML file</span></span></div> |
| To |
| |
| create an HTML file using the wizard, complete the following steps:</div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Open the <span class="uicontrol">Web</span> Perspective.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select <span><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> > <span class="uicontrol">New</span> > <span class="uicontrol">HTML/XHTML File</span></span></span> to open the wizard.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> to select the folder in which |
| |
| your want to create the file.</span> <p><b>Important</b>: Make sure you |
| |
| choose a folder in or under the WebContent folder of the Web project. This |
| |
| ensures that the file is available for validation, publishing, and deployment. |
| |
| </p> |
| <p>Tip: As a shortcut, you can also start the wizard by right clicking |
| |
| on your destination folder and selecting <span><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">New</span> > <span class="uicontrol">HTML/XHTML File</span></span></span> from the pop-up |
| |
| menu. This automatically primes the wizard with the folder information. </p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Type a name for your new file.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select HTML in the <span><span class="uicontrol">Markup Language</span></span> drop-down |
| |
| list.</span> Note that you can also create other file types by selecting |
| |
| choices from this list.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>You have several options for proceeding: </span> <p> - If |
| |
| you want to accept the defaults associated with a new HTML file, make sure <b>Create |
| |
| from page template</b> is <u>unchecked</u>. </p> |
| <p> - If you want to |
| |
| apply a page template to your new file, select <b>Create from page template</b> and |
| |
| click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>. A window appears in which you can select |
| |
| a page template. If you want to use one of the sample templates provided, |
| |
| select <span class="uicontrol">Sample page template</span> and then choose one of |
| |
| the templates shown in the <span class="uicontrol">Thumbnail</span> box. If you want |
| |
| to use a template of your own, select <span class="uicontrol">User-defined page template</span> and |
| |
| then click <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> to select the template from the file |
| |
| system. </p> |
| <p> - If you do not want to use a page template, but want to |
| |
| specify or customize the file options, select the <span class="uicontrol">Configure advanced |
| |
| options</span> check box and click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>. </p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>If you are configuring advanced options, select the appropriate |
| |
| encoding value to add to the file's HTML declaration from the <span><span class="uicontrol">Encoding</span></span> drop-down |
| |
| list. </span> The default is the value set in the <span><span class="uicontrol">HTML |
| |
| Files</span></span> preferences page, which is accessed by selecting <span><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span></span></span>, |
| |
| and then expanding the <span><span class="uicontrol">Web and XML Files</span></span> preferences. </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Ensure that the proper content type is selected in the <span><span class="uicontrol">Content |
| |
| Type</span></span> drop-down list. </span> The default is <b>text/html</b>.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Document Type</span> that you wish to |
| |
| associate with the HTML or XHTML file. </span> The default for an HTML |
| |
| file is <span class="uicontrol">HTML 4.01 Transitional</span>; the default for an |
| |
| XHTML file is <span class="uicontrol">XHTML 1.1</span>.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Specify a cascading style sheet (CSS) file to be referenced by |
| |
| the new HTML or XHTML file. </span> <p>Typically, CSS files are located |
| |
| in the theme folder under the Web content folder. You can use <span class="uicontrol">Add</span> to |
| |
| choose a style sheet from the file system. Use <span class="uicontrol">Remove</span> to |
| |
| delete a style sheet from the list, or use the arrow buttons to rearrange |
| |
| the order in which the file references the style sheets. </p> |
| <p>If a style |
| |
| sheet is already associated with the project in which you are creating the |
| |
| new file, that style sheet is the default.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click <span><span class="uicontrol">Finish</span></span> to create the file |
