Assigning a target
A target is an alternate web page frame or web browser window in which the linked document
opens. You can specify a target for a selected slice in the Property inspector. If the Property
inspector is minimized, click the expander arrow to see all properties.
To specify a target for a selected slice or hotspot in the Property inspector:
•
Type the name of the HTML frame in the Target text box or choose a reserved target from the
Target pop-up menu:
loads the linked documents in a new, unnamed browser window.
blank
loads the linked document in the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains
parent
the link. If the frame containing the link is not nested, then the linked document loads into the
full browser window.
loads the linked document in the same frame or window as the link. This target is implied,
self
so you usually need not specify it.
loads the linked document in the full browser window, thereby removing all frames.

Export settings
You can optimize a slice by selecting an option from the Export Settings pop-up menu in the
Property inspector or Optimize panel. You can choose from common export settings to quickly
set a file format and apply several format-specific settings. For more information on using and
customizing these settings, see
Naming slices
Slicing cuts an image into pieces. Fireworks exports each piece on each frame as a separate file, so
each file must have a name.
Fireworks automatically names each slice file upon export. You can accept the default naming
convention, change the convention, or enter a custom name for each slice.
Custom-naming slice files
You can assign names to slices so that you can easily identify slice files in your website file
structure. For example, if you have a button on a navigation bar that returns to the home page,
you could name the slice Home.
To enter a custom slice name, do one of the following:
•
Select the slice on the canvas, enter a name in the Object Name box in the Property inspector,
and press Enter.
•
Double-click the name of the slice in the Web Layer, enter a new name, and press Enter.
Do not add a file extension to the base name. Fireworks automatically adds file extensions to
slice files upon export.
