How do I get complex or multiple HTML pages into my mediascape?
Single web pages and complex web pages
When dealing with web pages we have to make a distinction between single and complex web pages. A single web page is a simple web page contained in a single file. It is a stand alone file that does not involve any other pages or files.
A complex web page does rely on other files, either it contains links to other web pages (‘click here for more information on rabbits’) or it includes other files such as images (‘Here is a picture of my rabbit’). It is more than one file that are related in some way.
Importing complex web pages
If you try to import a complex web page in the manner described above, it will be imported but it will not bring all the other files and pages with it. So any links will not work and any images will not be shown.
Develop your web pages
The best approach is to develop your complex web pages in the content folder of your mediascape (see below). Here you can create folders and add extra pages and images. The one thing you have to make sure is that all the starting point pages (that you want to call up directly in the mediascape) are in the content folder and not in sub-folders within that.
To find out where the content folder is, make sure that you have saved your mediascape and then, in the ‘tools’ menu, choose ‘open content folder’.
Import your starting point pages
When you import one of the starting point pages (in the same way as you’d import a single web page, above) it will appear in the web pages object but all the links and images will be functioning correctly.
