converting to html

[stryder2929]

i have a website that i made in tripod n0x and i wanted to move all that to my new domain which is purely html (via ftp uploading) at n0x.efrags.com

my problem is that i did not make the tripod page with html and i dont know how to transfer the stuff over.

is there a way to view the information in tripod as html?

Open up your webpage in Internet Explorer and go View > Source

You can't just move the HTML. You have to move all the files with it and preserve the directory structure. The reason you have broken links and missing images is because you did not move them over with the HTML code. The HTML code is probably pointing to relative paths, which don't exist on your new server. You best bet is to log into Tripod and download all the files, saving the directory structure, and reuploading them to your new server.

can u download the files in tripod?

Well, if it's your site, I don't see why you can't download the files since they shoudl somehow be stored in your directory unless it's a "Tripod Design" and the files are stored somewhere else. You can always RIGHT CLICK -> SAVE AS to all the images, but I would imagine that would take a long time. Plus, you'd have to reupload them to your server and then figure out some directory structure. After that you'd have to change all the relative paths to the files.

use tripod's file manager...

that way u could see the directory structure as it was in tripod. and which file goes to which directory..

I also recommend download a handy little editor called 1stPage which will teach you more about HTML.

You can find it here: 1stPage

There are applications out there that will download a whole website, including the directory structure. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but they do exist. You might want to try that as well.
