Managing Referenced Assets

When you reference an external HTML file, Corel Website Creator X6 lists the HTML file in Assets view. Unless you choose otherwise, it imports into Assets view pictures, applets, media, and most other external assets the file references.

You can move external assets in your directory structure in Publish view while maintaining paths. When you publish, Corel Website Creator X6 edits paths to the assets so they can be found. For example, depending on your original and published directory structures, Corel Website Creator X6 might change the original HTML’s <IMG SRC="Images/Logo.gif"> to <IMG SRC="../Index/Logo.gif"> in the published HTML.

However, Corel Website Creator X6 doesn’t edit paths to other HTML files, or to target anchors within <A HREF> tags. For these links to be maintained, the path names in the original files must work as-is when you publish. The original <A HREF> tags should use relative rather than absolute path names, for example, use <A HREF="Index.html"> rather than <A HREF="HTTP://www.your_original_domain.com/ Index.html">. You must position external HTML files in your Corel Website Creator X6 directory structure so the original paths work. See Customizing Your Site's Directory Structure.

Corel Website Creator X6 manages external assets referenced by these tags:

Although Corel Website Creator X6 manages external applets that are assets of referenced HTML, it might not manage certain classes referenced by the applets. Look in Assets view to see if any classes you reference aren’t listed. Then see Publishing Unmanaged Assets
