Publishing Web Pages with MUSIC and Netscape

Netscape Navigator Gold 2.0 and higher includes an Editor to help you design and store your web pages. You can start new pages or work from existing ones located at any URL.

The publish feature of the Netscape editor enables you to store your web page and all its associated graphics in one step to a remote server (MUSIC system). With this feature you don't have to worry about remembering all the names of your gifs when transferring files to MUSIC, or details about which transfer options to use.

3 Easy steps

Step 1:

From the file menu of Netscape choose one of the following:

   New Document           edit a new web page
   Edit Document          edit the currently displayed page
   Open file in Editor    edit a page at another location 

Step 2:

The Netscape editor presents the web page for editing. The Editor includes standard buttons for font selection, adding links and pictures, etc. The toolbars look like this:


If the page you are editing is on a remote server (not a PC file), you will be prompted to save a copy on your PC. A dialog box will appear indicating that links and images will be adjusted and saved with your PC file. While you are editing you are not affecting the original Web page.

Step 3:

When you have finished your editing choose the Publish option from the file menu of the Netscape editor. A dialog box (shown below) will ask you where to store the web page and all it's associated files (gifs, etc).


The dialog box includes fields for your user name (MUSIC userid) and password. The publishing location must include an address that you're privileged to access (anything under your own userid is acceptable, of course).

Note: All HTML files must be stored in a subdirectory called HTTP on MUSIC. If you will be storing several Web pages under your userid you may want to create additional subdirectories. For a Web page that has many files (gifs, for example) associated with it, a separate directory keeps all the elements of a particular Web page together.
