Hi, I am trying to redo a FP2k site using DWTs in FP2003 to tidy it up. How
can I simply copy and past content (tables with text and graphics, forms,
etc.) from an old site hosted on my localhost. If I open up both webs, and
just copy and paste, from old to new, the urls are still pointing to the old
site, even after I refresh the new site. I tried File|Import and put the
pages into a directory called 'old_site' and tried to copy and paste from
there and now the urls pint to "old_site/images or similar. Do I HAVE to
import all the pages into my root directory and copy and paste from there?
There are many pages in the site and a little messy with old and new pages
mixed in the same directory. What I really want is to just simply copy and
paste from one site to another and not have the urls change AT ALL. Is this
not possible in FP?

Thanks

If you copoy and paste in Code view, you won't have this
problem. Unless, that is, the HTML in the existing site
contains fully-qualified URLs
(http://www.mysite.com/...). And if it *does* contain
fully qualified URLs, now is a good time to fix that.

Hmmm, good plan, I suppose with split view copying code is a very simple
task, Previously I tried editing all the urls manually in HTML view FP2k
only to find FP changed them back again. Hope FP2003 doesn't do this.
