Has anyone used NetObjects Fusion?

[Reefer420]

I'm trying to get a website up and running- and have just bought NetObjects Fusion. Its a pretty good program imho for someone not an html wiz (yet ).

I have a question on editing new pages- every page looks just like the parent site- and I can't edit on without changing everything! Does anyone know how to unlink these pages so that I can edit them each independently, but when I want a universal change (say in the master border) it will change every page?

Or just direct me to where in the help guide to look it up? Thanks!

You need to unlock parts of each page from the master so you can customize them.

Thanks- Should I just look up 'unlocking' in the help guide, or should it be an easy thing to figure out?

Well, I actually use Dreamweaver, but it sounds like you are working with the master template files and none of the fields are unlocked from the master.

arg- i still can't figure it out! I can't find a way to unlock the child pages from the parent!

Emailed tech support yesterday- hopefully they get back to me soon!

how is dream weaver to work with? I am assuming it requires much more html knowledge, etc. I wish I had kept up with that stuff - back in high school I knew more about html than I do now!

i bought N.O fusion, then Dreamweaver, got lost in their programs, then found it easier for building basic sites, to just learn some basic html code and edit code directly in the html pages, then upload them via ftp, period.

well I want to start an e-commerce site that would use shopping carts, direct payment to paypal, etc. on a secure site--- don't think i want to bother learning that kind of html right now. its not hard to do w/ net objects, i've made a basic single page site- but it is killing me not knowing how to unlink these pages!

oh cool, i had one of those that i sold my turtles, tortoises, and birds off of, a whiles ago, but it wasn't a secure site since paypal takes care of the "shopping cart" and payment securely anyway. i did it from raw html code once i realized i needed to cut and past paypal codes anyway for each buy button and so on.

my host only costed $10 a year.

the problem you're having with the pages not detaching from parent page i had also and i just gave up and deleted netobjects and sold the cd on ebay. lol sorry. good luck.

Dreamweaver requires virtually no HTML knowledge. It has a WYSIWYG editor like most WWW design apps.

The more development you do the more you will start to work with the raw HTML. At this point I only use Dreamweaver to do complex table creations.

didn't know that about dreamweaver- though it was more expensive than I wanted to spend. hopefully i'll figure this thing out and develope a few sites- upgrade to dreamweaver once things get rolling...

this is annoying the hell out of me though- i can't figure it out!!!
