    - Looping in a Form I have Office XP with Front Page 2002. I have a form with 18 questions. Question 18 is a radio button response. I need to know where/what to code in the page that if the YES option is selected, the user is returned to questions 12-18 for each occurrence of a YES in question 18 (up to 10 loops). I also want to store the results of each occurrence/respones to questions 12-18 in its own cell in an Excel spreadsheet. I have the form page built for the first occurrence, but not the looping. I am totally stuck. I don't find IF THEN ELSE, DO WHILE, etc. options in FrontPage help files, are they there? Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 49116

    - text is moving with screen ! i am trying to create my own web site and have only just started and have a problem already. i have placed a background image on the site which has coloured boxes on it, then i created a cell ontop of one of these colour boxes and added some text (so it looks like its in the box), when im in the working screen or preview screen it looks good but when i go to preview in internet explorer6 window the text all moves with the size of the explorer window thus moving the text away from the coloured box when i increase or decrease the explorer window size , how do i lock it in place so if you shrink your explorer window the text stays there and you need to scroll across to see it all, rather that it shrinking on its own trying to fit in the explorer window.

    - Permission denied when publishing If I have "Changed pages only" option selected in the publishing options I get a 550 'xxxxxx': permission denied error when I try to publish my web site. This did not occurr until my dsl service changed the isp from gnat.net to pstel.net I suspect something on the Host ftp server causing this but they must sub their hosting out because their tech support is clueless.

    - target tag within iframe element FrontPage 2003 insists on inserting the "target=_self" attribute within my iframe elements. (Not the links pointing to the iframe, the iframe itself.) Even when I remove that attribute from the code for the iframe, FrontPage puts it right back in when I save the page. HTML validators, including FrontPage's, flag the "target" attribute as invalid for the iframe element. How do I get FrontPage to stop fighting me on this and stop reinserting this invalid attribute? Am I missing something? Thanks! Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 49087

    - Fill In Dates Hopefully someone out there has tried this. I'm trying to write an application that incorporates a timecard for contractor time entry. I have a date picker so that the contractor can pick the Monday start date on which the weeks time is for. What I want to do is take this value and fill seven corresponding text boxes (Sunday through Saturday) with dates driven off the text box the date picker fills in. Something wherein Sunday=startdate-1, Tuesday=startdate+1, Wednesday=startdate+2, etc. Yes, its being written in FP2003 interfacing with a SQL database. If anyone can give me a heads up on the javascript that would do this, I'd appreciate it. (I've searched in here and Googled to no avail) Thanks in advance -- John Cello John Cello Consulting Communications For Business www.johncelloconsulting.com Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 49085

    - Why isn't my page title working? I am trying to start the SEO tasks on my new webpage. This is the first time I've developed a web page and my first time using frontpage. I'm trying to add a page title to my pages, but it's not taking. If I go to page properties on the actual page, the Title field is not active. If I go to the Properties box from the folders list, the Title field is active, but my entry does not take. I can click apply, and nothing happens, and I can click ok, and nothing happens. My title is not saved. This happens on all my pages, not just one. This seems like such a simple thing, so I don't understand what's going on. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    - Is Unicode server-dependent? Hi: Thanks if anyone can help on the question. I understand that there are a few ways for making a Unicode page, but not sure if that requires the server (or anything else, such as server extensions) to have the same capability for the user to read a Unicode page. Also, if the database (e.g. MS SQL 2000) have Unicode and the fields have been set up as Unicode as well, will it still require the server to have the same in order to develop and view the Unicode page? Many thanks. Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 49063

    - Publishing woes with MS FrontPage 2002 Hi, I built a website that has a discussion forum and a classified section (www.pulsaraviators.com). At first, neither the forum nor classified section would work until I had the web host "reset" the FrontPage server extensions. One of my problems is that after he reset the extensions everything worked until I "re-published" my website...by re-publish I mean that I made a simple change to my main page and published it to the webhost again. After doing so, the FP server extensions no longer worked again. Does re-publishing break the extensions? Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 49010

    - Host factors and security ? I'm new to making an getting a FP 2003 web site hosted. Right now I'm leaning toward powweb.com but have a few questions. I've noticed that many of the hosters tell you that they have hundreds email accounts and email aliases. In my case I'm going to try to sell off a bunch of personal things on eBay with a link to my new site showing other stuff that will be available later. For viewers of my new site that want to contact me I was going to include my regular email address. Then I started to wonder if this will open a bigger door to spammers. I'm guessing it's a bad idea to leave my personal email address on my site, and have legitimate queries respond to my site. If this is the case what do I look for in a hoster? Are there any other things besides, reliability, support, storage and traffic bandwidth? tnx -- 73 Hank WD5JFR Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 48965

    - Convert vertical link bar from shared to local to change navig. op I developed a Front Page 2003 site for an author (www.MargStark.com). The default for showing the buttons on the left side put the navigation buttons in an area called a "Shared border". That means, as you probably know, that if I change it on one screen, I change it one screen, I've changed it on all of them. Well, I never gave it a thought until this week when we added our first lower level menu and, in changing the options for that screen, I changed all of the menus! I then tried killing the whole shared area and inserting the Link Bar in the body of the page. That messed up the formatting big time. Is there an easier way to say, "Yes, have a navigation list on the left side but be defined as the link format for just this page?" If I have to do it on every page, so be it, because at least it'll be that way for every page that I template from here on in. But it sure seems like one should be able to say, on a given page, "Let me change you without affecting the other pages." Again, I don't want to take advantage of you, but with the forums down, I'm quite stuck for an answer (and found nothing like this in the help files). Thanks! Tag: Database Upgrading Tag: 48963

I currently use MySQL through my web hosting service to display my Frontpage
2003 data. I am considering switching to a host that utilizes Microsoft SQL
Server.

Does the Microsoft SQL work better with the Frontpage database wizard, or am
i better off to stay with MYsql which seems to work fine with Frontpage?

Any help would be appreciated.
