Exporting Fireworks HTML
Fireworks lets you export HTML in Generic, Dreamweaver, FrontPage, and Adobe® GoLive® formats. Generic HTML will work in most HTML editors. Exporting Fireworks HTML generates an HTML file and the associated image files in a location you specify.

Note: Fireworks also exports HTML when you export to Macromedia Director and to CSS layers. For more information, see Working with Macromedia Director and Exporting CSS layers.

The export method of getting Fireworks HTML into other applications is ideal if you are working in a team environment. Exporting an HTML file segments the workflow so that one person can perform a task in one application, and another can take over at a later time using another application.

You can set up global HTML export preferences using the HTML Setup dialog box. For more information, see Setting HTML export options.

Note: Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft FrontPage share a tight integration with Fireworks. Fireworks exports HTML to these applications differently than it does other HTML editors. If you are exporting Fireworks HTML to either of these applications, follow these instructions, but for additional application-specific notes, also see Using Fireworks with Other Applications.

To export Fireworks HTML:
Do one of the following to open the Export dialog box:
Choose File > Export.
Click the Quick Export button at the upper right corner of the document window, then choose an export option from the destination application’s pop-up menu. Fireworks automatically fills in the text boxes of the Export dialog box with the appropriate settings for the selected application.
Note: Non-Macromedia applications are found in the Quick Export > Other submenu.

Navigate to the desired site folder on your hard drive.
Choose HTML and Images from the Save as Type pop-up menu.
Click the Options button and choose your HTML editor from the HTML Style pop-up menu on the General tab of the HTML Setup dialog box. If your HTML editor is not listed, choose Generic.
Note: It’s important that you choose your HTML editor as the HTML style; if you do not, interactive elements such as buttons and rollovers may not function correctly when imported into your HTML editor.

Click OK to return to the Export dialog box.
Type a filename in the File Name (Windows) or Save As (Macintosh) box.
Choose Export HTML file from the HTML pop-up menu.
Choosing Export HTML generates an HTML file and the associated image files in the location you specify.

Choose Export Slices from the Slices pop-up menu if your document contains slices.
Choose Put Images in Subfolder if you want images stored in a separate folder. You can choose a specific folder or use the Fireworks default, which is a folder named images.
Click Save.
After export, you’ll see the files Fireworks exported on your hard drive. Images and an HTML file are generated in the location you specified in the Export dialog box.

Exporting Fireworks HTML to Dreamweaver
Exporting Fireworks files to Dreamweaver is a two-step process. From Fireworks, you export files directly to a Dreamweaver site folder. This will generate an HTML file and the associated image files in the location you specify. You then place the HTML code into Dreamweaver using the Insert feature.

Note: Before exporting, be sure to choose Dreamweaver as the HTML type in the HTML Setup dialog box. For more information, see Setting HTML export options.

To export Fireworks HTML:
Export your document to HTML format. See Exporting Fireworks HTML.

To insert Fireworks HTML into a Dreamweaver document:
In Dreamweaver, save your document in a defined site.
Place the insertion point in the document where you want the inserted HTML code to begin.
Do one of the following:
Choose Insert > Interactive Images > Fireworks HTML.
Click the Insert Fireworks HTML button in the Common category of the Objects panel.
In the dialog box that appears, click Browse to choose the desired Fireworks HTML file.
Choose Delete File After Insertion to move the HTML file to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Macintosh) when the operation is complete.
Use this option if you no longer need the Fireworks HTML file after inserting it. This option does not affect the source PNG file associated with the HTML file.

Note: If the HTML file is on a network drive, it is permanently deleted, not moved to the Recycle Bin or Trash.

Click OK to insert the HTML code, along with its associated images, slices, and JavaScript, into the Dreamweaver document.
