Appropriate DOCTYPE for XML Formatting Rules
Hi All,
I have what is quite possibly a stupid question about XML formatting and
DOCTYPE declarations. I am using FrontPage 2003 to apply XML formatting
rules to my web pages by right clicking in the code view and selecting
"Apply XML Formatting Rules". Using the command made changes similar to the
following:
Original Line:
<img src="my_image.gif" width="35" height="9" alt="alt_text">
New Line (the only difference is the forward-slash at the end):
<img src="my_image.gif" width="35" height="9" alt="alt_text" />
My question is: If I use XML formatting is it still appropriate to use the
DOCTYPE declaration shown below or do I have to use some sort of XML
declaration.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Thank-You,

[ANN]: NNTP Server slow downs.
For several days, we have been experiencing slowdowns in the Microsoft
newsgroups. The combination of the recent waves of spam and viruses
generated several issues that Microsoft teams are troubleshooting now. In
the meantime, to help deal with the slowdowns, we are reducing our message
archive from 90 days to 30 days for newsreaders (such as Outlook Express).
To access discussions older than 30 days, you can use this page:

SQL2K Server and IIS 5.0 connectivity with FrontPage 2K
Hello, I hope someone out there can help me understand.
I have an IIS Server and using FP2K, I'm trying to connect to a SQL2K

I have searched the newsgroups and had no luck in finding a solution. The

Anyone have any ideas?????

ASP SQL String error
I'm, trying to generate a random number to be used in a DB lookup of wav
files that can be used as BG sound bytes.
I'm missing something along the STRSQL = line that's blocking me.
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: '[string: "SELECT WavName FROM "]'
/random_number.asp, line 21
The number generates correctly and the field being selected is the primary
index and an integer (autonumber).
I generate an SQL pull that will work correctly with DATABASE results
wizzard, but not with a random number.
Can anyone see a problem in my syntax?

Further form query
I posted here a week ago about formatting the emailed results from an FP
form - the emailed results need to be really easy to read. Thanks to those
who answered, saying that FP can't do that.
I've been looking around and I keep coming across ASP, and I gather I can
send the results to an ASP script? This is all completely new to me, but if
anyone could give me any hints as to my next step, or has any experience of
this, I'd be really grateful. Are there scripts you can download and use?
Any help etc... cause it all looks greek to me at the mo...

Sorry that I ask this in this group -

wrapping problem on results page

Adding footer to DBase results page...
I wish to add a footer (html) to the bottom of the DBase results pages in my
site.
Problem is, since these pages are dynamically sized, I need the footer
dynamically placed. Something like "x pixels below the DBase region".
To compound the problem, there are lists of links down the left side of the
page. I need the footer to be placed no higher on the page than "x pixels
below the bottom of the list" as well as the above criteria.
So far, I can't even figure out where to place the html for the footer so
that the footer appears at the bottom of the DBase results. I'm sure this is
possilble since FP is placing "buttons" at the bottom of a full page of
results. I've tried several things including [fpdbrgn2.inc] and can't seem
to get anywhere.
For now, I have the footer placed statically at the bottom of the results
page.
If you wish to view, the "home page" for the site is
http://www.zartbooks.com/zartbooks1.html
(Be aware, this site is not yet "live"; don't attempt to purchase anything
yet...)
Any ideas??

Hex characters in JavaScript
Not strictly Front Page but anyway ...
I need to examine a string from an html form text area
field and check for certain characters using the
string.substring(a,b) function or similar.
If the characters are normal like "a" then OK but if a
line throw character is found, I need to replace it with a
normal character like "+".
I guess I need to do some stuff with hex etc.
Something like, say, for the 3rd character of the string :-
linethrowchar = "#0C"; // if this is correct?
if (fieldstring.substring(2,1) == linethrowchar)
{fieldstring.substring(2,1) = "+";}
You get the idea anyway ... does it need eval or something?
When I look around about Hex it always seems to be
something about colors. Tag: Frontpage minus XML Tag: 25499

Banner Ad Manager Properties
I'm sure this might sound like a silly question, but I'm
really new to FrontPage, so I hope you will be forgiving.
I inserted a Banner Ad in my homepage, inserted 7
pictures for it to flash between. It seems to work
perfectly when I view it IN FRONTPAGE, but when you
actually visit the site, all you see is a lovely gray box

What am I doing wrong? (please)

Embedding pages
Please help me!
Hi all, I'm new to FP2002 and getting very frustrated with
this! I've embedded pages (my left side naviagtion, header
and footer) using the "Include Content" Web Component on
my home page. Here's my problem: In my footer page, I use
CSS for my links (a:link, a:active, a:hover, a:visited).
My CSS works fine on my footer page when I view it. BUT,
when I include the footer page on my home page using the
Include Content Web Component, it includes the actual
footer links, but the CSS won't work. (there isn't any
other CSS in the home page code that could possibly
override it either). Why is this happening and how do i
fix it, and if CSS won't work with the include content
component, is there an alternative to using CSS for my
links? THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely,

Quick Hyperlinks and the pesky UP tag

I'm a new FP user and have am stumped! In my hyperlink
navigation bar I have a link back to the parent page - its
labeled "UP" by default (via FP).
Can someone help me so that I can get my boss off my
back? He wants it to say "TOP". I don't want to change
it outside of FP because someone will have to remember to
do it after I'm long gone.
I thought I stumbled upon a dialog box once that would let
me change it but I can't remember.

Ensure that my contents frame is shown
Hi,
I'm very new to all this stuff and would appreciate some help.
I would like to ensure that if someone is directed to my website from a
search engine rather than coming in from the home page, that the contents
frame is displayed. E.g., if you go to
http://www.danielklann.com/Excel/importing_large_text_files_into.htm you'll
just see a page. However, if you go to www.danielklann.com you'll see that
there is a frame to the left of the page with a contents section. How do I
ensure that if someone loads up any page in my site then the contents will
also be displayed?
