Assigning A Target; Export Settings; Naming Slices - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 8-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Entering brief, meaningful alternate text has become increasingly important in web design. A
growing number of visually impaired people are using screen-reading applications, which read
alternate text in a computer-generated voice as the pointer passes over graphics on a web page.
To specify alt text for a selected slice or hotspot:
In the Property inspector, type the text in the Alt Text box.

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 select a reserved target from
the Target pop-up menu:
blank
loads the linked documents in a new, unnamed browser window.
parent
loads the linked document in the parent frameset or window of the frame that
contains the link. If the frame containing the link is not nested, then the linked document
loads into the full browser window.
self
loads the linked document in the same frame or window as the link. This target is
implied, so you usually need not specify it.
_top 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 select 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.
