cannot seem to get UD to serve .htm/html files when the application server
is enabled iin the define site, it will only serv .asp file, if I change the
extension of the html files to asp they serv fine. The only way to get them
to run is turn of the server in define site. So i am a bit confused.

Thanks in advamce for any help

I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by "serve"

with the server format set to asp, you should have no problem changing the extensiont .htm/l it will simply upload the file to the web server, and that will take care of everything.

explain a bit more in detail what errors you get, and what you are trying to do when you get them

HI Joel

Thanks for your interest, Basically if I define an application server, and then press F12 to view in my browser a html document will not display,I get an IE error stating that the page is no longer there, but if I do the sam with a .asp file they display fine and also if I change the extension of the html doc to .asp it loads fine as well. Also if I turn of the application server in define sites the html pages load okay. So what i am trying to do is be able to view .asp and .html or .htm documents when I hit F12. Its a wierd one I now, so thanks again for your time.

Regards

Roy

hmm, I see...

this preview feature is possibly one of the worst features in Ultradev next to live preview. I never use either of them.

I wish I could be of help, but I swore of that preview when UD kep leaving temp files all over the place. now I have a technique that although it may seem convoluted at first, once you get used to it, it's lightning fast. <ul><li>have your UD window, and a browser pointing to the page you are working on open</li><li>start working on your page, and when you want to preview it, press [ctrl] + S to save, then [ctrl] + [shift] + U to upload</li><li>to switch to the Browser, simply press [alt] + [tab] </li><li>the F5 to refresh the browser</li></ul>This is the fastest way I've found of working.

I'm sorry I couldnt help you on this feature, maybe someone else has a better answer <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

You are in luck my friend... I have asked the same question and I found my answer the hard way. We as users of the DWUD make the assumption that when we use the live data function or F12 we are using the browswer and are in a test mode for the internet on what ever server we are using. It continues to give us this illusion because we can move from hyperlinke to hyperlink using the browser.

My problem is similar. I developed a home page with a frame set where I call in an ASP page into the main frame. When opeing the html set up it says it can not do so on the remote sever do I want to view it locally. When this happens it will not open ASP pages. Here is the solution.

First make sure your have you site connected to a sever. I am using MS Personal Web Server.

Second publishe or put your files to the location designated by the web server. In my case it is c:/intelpub/wwwroot/site_name

Third open up your web browser independantly of DWUD... type in the following
www/localhost/sitename/homepage.extention. You will find that your brower is now on your local web server and this is typically how your pages will look and function. This is the true live data view.... the live view provided by DWUD is a pseudo live version.
