How do I get a single HTML page 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 single web pages
As a single web page is one file, it can be imported in almost the same way as importing audios or images.
Enable web pages
To do anything with web pages in mscape maker you first have to enable web pages.
Right click on the media object in the left hand panel
Select ‘Add web pages’ from the menu
Import your web page
The ‘web pages’ object will appear in the list of media objects and the web pages button will appear in the import part of the top bar. To import a single web page click on the button in the top bar or right click on the object in the left hand panel then select the web page you want to import.
You can check your web pages by clicking with the right mouse button on your web page in the left hand panel and choosing ‘preview’ from the menu. Alternatively, you can include the web page into a region and then test your mediascape with the mscape tester to see if the web page displays correctly on the simulated mobile device screen.
If you make changes to your HTML page the mscape maker will not know about them, you must remember to re-import the changed version into your mediascape.
