    - Modify default HTML template Hi there, I dropped my web programming back in 2001 and as such haven't done much since then but I'm getting back into it know. As such, a lot has changed with xhtml, xml, asp, php etc... I'm going to start using Frontpage to organize my site layout and do hyperlink testing but here's my question. I don't like the default HTML that Frontpage creates when you make a new page. It makes: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>New Page 1</title> </head> but I want to switch out/add some additional tags to make my template: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="FILE NAME GOES HERE" /> <title>Index Page</title> </head> Is there anywhere in Frontpage where I can modify the template? Another quick question as well, is the code that Frontpage generates either HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.1 strict (as in it follows W3C guidelines)? Thanks. -Duncan Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33333

    - Can't open in MS Access database created by Frontpage 2003 I just upgraded from Frontpage 2002 to Frontpage 2003 today. Now, when I want to open Access databases created by the Form Wizard, it shows me an error "MS Access can't open this file. This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. MS Access will not open the file due to potential security problem". How do I get out of this? I want to be able to look at the database. Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33310

    - Database Problems. Please Help! We have been trying to display our Access Database information on our Intranet, and enable users to search by different fields. We do not want anyone to update through the Intranet. The updating is done directly by one person into the Access file. Something seemingly easy has been a nightmare. This is what we have been trying: 1. Using Front Page's Database Results Wizard, we have had to first import our database into our Intranet web, and then we can see records, and search etc. However since this database is updated elsewhere, we can't keep reimporting the file to keep the info dynamic, and it will not open the imported Access file in its web location for editing. 2. Using Access's data access page feature, we have been able to get our records to show up on the Intranet and be connected to the underlying file. In addition we have been able to seal records from user editing, but the problem is that only search capabilities are a weak filter by selection that does not do wildcard searches (such as one word in a description field). 3. In our Access database we have a perfect setup of parameter queries so that the user inputs all or part of a reference and gets a nice report. When we get this into our web thru a data access page, the parameter form does come up, but after filling it in, records never show in the report. It seems we have come up against specific stumbling blocks. For instance, does anyone know how to set up a hyperlink on a page created in Front Page that would just bring up and transfer control to the Access file? Right now, "Quick View" gibberish comes up. Does anyone know how can I reference an Access database outside of the Intranet in a file such as global.asa? It only appears to recognize http:// and not network letters? Any help would be appreciated since we have been pulling our hair out! Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33304

    - How do I make my website look same on any resolution? I'm new at this... have created a nice looking website, but did it while my resolution was set at 1280X1024. I went live with it, and a co worker looked at it from home and found that the pictures overlapped, and my text boxes were everywhere... sure enough, in her resolution, it looked like crud. Is there a setting for this or something? I can't help but notice most every other website I view doesn't have this problem! thanks! ken Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33302

    - Frame - sizing I have a Frame page top banner, vertical left, and body. Across the top banner, I've sized it to fit on my screen. Is there a way to make it autofit onto anyone's display - so that they don't have to use scrollbars. I just want it to take up whatever space it needs. It's about 1" deep, but it seems to be resolution dependent. I only want it to take up as much room as it needs. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help.

    - Linking to and changing the contents of a specific cell I have a table of 4 cells. I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I gave each cell an id. For this paticular example, I'm using a cell id of "top2". This cell currently has a graphic (../2.jpg) within. This graphic has a hotspot link that links to another graphic file (../2b.jpg). With the way this is written, the link opens a new window. Can you tell me a way that I can have this graphic display in cell id "top2", keeping my other cells unchanged? This is what I currently have. <area href="../2b.jpg" shape="rect" coords="98, 4, 142, 29"></map> <img border="0" src="../2.jpg" id=top2 width="256" height="141" usemap="#FPMap0"></td> Thanks, Paul Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33295

    - adding hyperlinks, I REALLY NEED ASSISTANCE! I really need help!! I just started making additions to an already existing website. What I am trying to do is add hyperlinks to thumbnail images so that when you click on the thumbnail you will see a larger image. When I publish the hyperlink for the image it turns out fine for that hyperlink, but this larger image will also appear when I click on any other thumbnails.

    - Locking Frames to keep a set of 4 images from getting pulled apart. Is there a way to lock frames at a certain pixel size so that regardless of the screen resolution the images within a set of frames will not be pulled apart? For example: This may be a little unorthodox, but I've got an image that I've split up into 4 separate images. I've placed the 4 images in separate frames in such a way that the images come together and appear as one image. I then have links within a certain frame that will change the image in either the same frame or a different frame. If the explorer window is fully maximized, then the set of 4 images do not come together. So I'm looking to find out if there is a way to possibly lock the frame sizes so that the images do not get pulled apart. Thanks Paul Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33275

    - custom ASP programming has clashed with Frontpage DRW pages with SQL INSERT and UPDATE In a nutshell, things that used to work on my site have stopped working and the error seems to have occurred since I called the msado15.dll file in a custom ASP file. A LITTLE MORE BACKGROUND INFO: I created an ASP site in MS Frontpage 2003 with an Access database to store and report on my departments training events, registrations and evaluations. The site worked pretty well, but I wanted to take some functionality to a higher level and found that I had exausted the capabilities of the Frontpage Database Results Wizard, so I stared to read about creating ASP pages in Beginning ASP 3.0 (WROX press). WHEN THE PROBLEM AROSE: I only have permission to make web sites at one web server, so I thought I would integrate some custom ASP pages with my exiting database and Frontpage generated ASP pages. In my experimenting, I used datastore.asp to connect to the database and also called the metadata type="typelib" File="C:\Program Files\...\msado15.dll". In the process of experimenting with the code, I made some great progress in learning to use ASP and hope to continue learning again soon. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM: After I was done with my custom ASP work, I needed to do some work on some other pages in my site and started to receive error messages on pages that used to work fine. Specifically on pages which have database results with Custom SQL statements containing UPDATE or INSERT queries. Here are two error messages: "Database Results Wizard Error Unable to find operator in query string. Query string currently is INSERT INTO registrations (fname, lname, email, phone, dept, platform, attend, eventID, precourse_status) VALUES ('::fname::', '::lname::', '::email::', '::phone::', '::dept::', '::platform::', '::attend::', ::eventID::, '::precourse_status::')" and "Database Results Wizard Error Your page contains a query with user input parameters that could not be resolved. This could happen if your DatabaseRegionStart webbot has an empty or missing s-columnnames or s-columntypes attributes." Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33222

    - Broken Custom Hover Button Custom hover button created with FP2002 appears broken in preview pane and browser. Workarounds of MS articles Q323236 and Q817697 had been followed (preview only in a browser and delete codebase="./" in html), but the problem is still not resolved. Warning! Previously good custom hover buttons, created with FP2000 (not FP2002) in a published Internet web, would turn broken after the web page has been opened LIVE by FP2002! Since I've heard the new FP2003 is having the same problem, I don't think MS has a patch for the problem. Any one can help? Tag: Problems publishing Frontpage Tag: 33215

You may have a corrupt web folder - i had one recently and could not delete it even using FTP software. However - I did delete it using FrontPage - when you go to publish you get a list of folders - using this view to delete web folders and then republish
Incidentally - you did not have to recreate your web site from scratch - you could have imported it into FrontPage to save you a lot of extra work...
