10 Publishing

Tip. Those having access to only one computer running

Windows XP may like to know that they can run several

versions of Internet Explorer on it. Joe Maddalone

(http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html)

developed the method and Yousif Al Saif

(http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE) has produced an in-

staller. Initially this did not run on Windows Vista but a

method of doing so has been developed.

10.1 Introduction

Publishing a site means transferring the site, i.e.

the pages, images and stylesheets involved, to a web

server from which they may be accessed, usually but

not necessarily, by the public. This process is called

‘Uploading’. Prior to publishing there are a few checks

which should be carried out.

10.2 Validating the site.

Validating simply means checking that the page or

site operates as intended. Designers may by now have

a plethora of files some of which are obsolete or are not

required for the published site. A good practice is to

create a new folder structure and in it place those files,

and only those files, which are needed.

This can be done using your usual file manager e.g.

Windows Explorer but the KompoZer File Manager can

be set up to do this task by ‘Publishing’ these to a new

folder.

10.2.1 Markup Cleaner

KompoZer provides a Markup Cleaner Tools >

Markup Cleaner which can be used to remove redun-

dant code which clutters the file but does not contrib-

ute to the page content. This does not necessarily

remove all redundant content but makes a good con-

tribution to it.

10.2.2 Browser testing

The next stage of validation has already been taken

care of by KompoZer. Users have a high assurance

that the code generated represents valid HTML or CSS.

The site should next be run using a browser. Possible

problems include you having omitted to transfer files

to the correct folders, naming the folders incorrectly,

including getting the case wrong.

The site should be checked on a range of different

browsers. Several modern Mozilla based browsers

behave very similarly so do not provide additional

confidence. Check with browsers from other sources

and be very conscious that a few visitors may still be

using very old browsers.

In late 2007 a minimal set of browsers to test on

might be Firefox (latest version), Opera (latest version),

Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. Both

these latter two behave differently from each other and

also from other browsers so use both. In spite of the

availability of Internet Explorer 7 version 6 remains

the most widely deployed so it is essential to check

with this.

10.2.3 Formal validation

Browsers are often very tolerant of incorrect code.

A much more rigorous test is to submit pages to the

W3C validators. There are two: one checks that the

page code conforms to the HTML specification, the

second that the style sheet (internal and external

linked) code conforms to the CSS specification. Kom-

poZer provides direct access to the first of these.

To validate a page. Open it in KompoZer. On the

Menu choose Tools > Validate HTML. A validator win-

dow opens and the page is automatically submitted for

validation. The result will be displayed in the window.

To validate pages with internal stylesheets or sepa-

rate external stylesheets the validators may be used

independently. The URLs are given in the References

(Appendix 2). Pages may be validated either from the

local disk or after the files have been uploaded.

While the W3C validators check rigorously for con-

formity with specifications this does not guarantee

that the code will run correctly. Unfortunately none of

the current browsers fully support the specifications!

This is why browser validation is an essential step.

10.3 Publishing

You can publish your web pages to a web server on

which you have an account. Your ISP probably offers

limited free space but you can buy space from profes-

sional hosting providers.

To publish a site you need to know the settings for

the space so that you can set up your system.

Files may be uploaded using any available FTP

program but KompoZer has built-in facilities which

are integrated with the Site Manager which makes this

task very simple.

While uploading using KompoZer is simple the

facilities and the folder structures supported are limit-

ed. You may prefer to use one of the available open

source or freeware FTP programs.

10.3.1 Setting up your site

While setting up Site Manager you may already

have configured the ‘remote’ site (sections 8.4 and

8.2), if not, either proceed as detailed there, go directly

to Publish Settings via Edit > Publishing Site settings.

Confirmation of correct publication Enter the fol-

lowing details:

In the ‘Site names’ box enter the name that you

want to know the site by.

HTTP address (URL) of your site. From your ISP

(see hints).

Publishing address - This is the ftp address to

which you will publish.

User name – From your ISP.

Password – From your ISP.

If you wish to, check ‘Save Password’.

If you have several sites set up and you have one

site that you always or usually publish to you may

wish to click on the name of this site then ‘Set as

default’. This simplifies uploading.

Click OK.
