Adding Edit My Site Online content to NetObjects Fusion
|
1)
|
Sign up for Edit My Site Online and log on to your "My Services" page.
|
|
2)
|
Click on "Add a new page" to add a page
|
|
3)
|
Give your page a name.
|
|
4)
|
Copy the HTML script that looks like this:
<script src="http://www.editmysiteonline.com/e/page.cfm?ID=71f1354334714f0d8594602b2036717d"></script>
|
|
5)
|
Go into NetObjects Fusion
|
|
6)
|
Choose View/Object icons. This will let you see the small blue HTML icon once you've inserted HTML.
|
 |
|
7)
|
Create a text box, where you want the Edit My Site Online
content to appear. The width of this text box will
determine the width of the Edit My Site Online content.
OR: double click inside of an existing text box.
|
 |
|
8)
|
Double click your mouse inside the text box where you want to insert the HTML code. Your cursor will flash as a vertical bar inside the box.
|
 |
|
9)
|
Press the space bar once or twice. (This is optional, but it helps make the HTML icon easier to see, select and edit later).
|
 |
|
10)
|
Click on the property palette's "HTML" button.
|
|
11)
|
Paste the script code into the HTML box.
|
 |
|
12)
|
Click on OK.
|
If you want to edit the code later, just double click on the blue icon and the HTML edit window will appear.

It's important to have the View/Objects icons turned on--otherwise you can't see where you've inserted HTML, and you could accidentally delete it (HTML added this way will be deleted, without warning when you delete the text it's in).
It's also important to preview your page (the fastest way is by pressing Control-P). Most of the time it will be absolutely fine. You've got your great-looking NetObjects Fusion page, and your content easily dropped in.
Note: HTML can change the layout of your page, if the content you create in Edit My Site Online is wider than the space you provided.
Let's say you draw a text box 400 pixels wide-yet your Edit My Site Online content contains a graphic that's 450 pixels wide. Because of the way HTML and browsers work, your 400 pixel wide text box will always expand to fit the largest item in the table, so in this case it would stretch to be 450 pixels wide.
This will also happen if you create tables in Edit My Site Online are wider than the text box you create in HTML to hold the content.
When your Edit My Site Online content stretches your HTML tables, the entire layout of your page will change.
So if your page layout changes after you've added your Edit My Site Online code, the reason is that your Edit My Site Online content is wider than your HTML table.
There are two solutions to this: Make your Edit My Site Online content narrower (which may mean having to resize graphics in your graphics program, then uploading them again), or make the text box on your NetObjects Fusion page wider.
