Edit Fireworks output styles to customize HTML
exported by Fireworks. In addition, use JavaScript to
create dialog boxes or alerts when exporting. For
example, you could create a dialog box that allowed you
to enter a custom title for the HTML page exported, or
to output different HTML code for specific tasks.
To Do this
Add an output style Create, duplicate, or place a
new folder in the
Fireworks 2\Settings\HTML
Code folder. Place copies of
the Imagemap.htt, slices.htt,
and ServerMap.mtt files in the
new folder.

pop-up
Remove an output Delete the folder of the
style unwanted style from the
Fireworks 2\Settings\HTML
Code folder.
Edit an output style 1. In the
Fireworks 2\Settings\HTML
Code folder, open the folder
of the style you want to
edit.

text editor, make changes,

Template files are written in JavaScript. Therefore, a
working knowledge of JavaScript is required to
successfully edit a template. If an edited template file
contains any errors in the JavaScript, the export process
stops. Fireworks does not correct JavaScript errors; it
only executes valid JavaScript when exporting.
