Editing Define Pages with Lots of Illustrations

Hi all,

In the "More Information" sidebox, I have changed the title of "Page 4" to "Colour Chart" because my friend would like to link a, well, a colour chart. I'm not sure what is the best way? If a customer were to click on the link, is there a way of placing the chart in the define pages editor? It has a lot of illustrations.

Alternatively, is it possible for a customer to click on the link and have a whole new page just pop open. I'm thinking that that might be best but not sure how to go about it. For this option, I already have a webpage done and an images folder.

Thanks!

Here's the site: http://www.catinabag.com

You could create a color chart as a html table and paste this code into the defines page editor.

Or for a different page create an ezpage and external link to the other page you have

Thanks kobra, I just tried the first option and ZC's Define Pages's Editor did not like it. I hit "Save" and my browser window just goes blank. Hitting refresh doesn't help and when I get back to the Editor it's as if nothing has changed. Page 4 is still blank. There must be something in ZC that doesn't like a long HTML document or something.

I may have to go with the second option.

You Only need the display code and not the full html item like head etc. and insure that if a table it is contained/nested into one that will auto fit the space you have

Thanks kobra for the suggestion. I'm looking at the mess that Word spews out when it "produces" a webpage and it doesn't look like it would be easy to clean up. I could do one up myself but I'm hoping to avoid that since the document has about a hundred images with no unique names for each image file. :shocking:

Unfortunately, word and Front page are terrible at bloating code.

Re: Editing Define Pages with Lots of Illustrations

I did up an EZ-Pages using an External Link after futzing around with an Internal Link before realizing that the Internal Link goes to an internal page. It worked out great but I didn't like having an "Important Information" sidebox with only one hyperlink. It offended my sense of aesthetics. :no:

So, I went back to the Define Pages editor for Page 4 and from there I placed an external link within a paragraph. This opened up another page (yay!) where I placed the monstrosity that Word birthed. It's not as elegant a solution as I would have wished for but I don't feel like killing a whole afternoon renaming images for the colour chart and then figuring out how to place it using the Define Pages editor.

Thanks again kobra! :smile:
