working asp pages in spider - Spider Writer Suggestions and Support Forum

Posted 24 years ago by Richard Parker - corpus christi, tx us

Is there anyway to get spider to handle the web view or internal browser for ASP pages directly. I almost got the external link shortcut to work by adding the http path in front of %1, but it adds the entire path and breaks the link with the localhost (pws40). I have editplus's internal browser working fine in the webroot, but cant seem to get spider to handle them, got to be a way to get it to act with the server.
Any suggestions Bill?

Thanks Rick

Best Regards

Go to your Spider Writer project properties. From there, you can enter a root URL. For instance if we were working on a test.asp file for spiderwriter.com and saved directly to our web server, we'd make the URL:
<A HREF="http://www.spiderwriter.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.spiderwriter.com/</A>

Then once you check the checkbox for routing previews, all internal browses through that URL. So if I was editing my test.asp and did an internal browser view, it would browse to:
<A HREF="http://www.spiderwriter.com/test.asp" TARGET=_blank>http://www.spiderwriter.com/test.asp</A>

...and not just test.asp without a URL as before.

Does this answer your question?
