I've rebuilt pages on my site about 6 times now because after I get them
right (and confirm in Explorer) I close them and open another page to work
on. When I go back to the page it nests a second set of navigation inside my
main body, but when you go into design mode even the text has
disappeared...even though it shows up in Explorer. If I click ANYWHERE in
design mode...all the text and work vanishes and I have to start over.

Any ideas??? I'm not too happy with Frontpage right now and I've been using
for a long time.
Thanks.

You need to make sure that you have installed all Office update for your version of FP and your web
host must install all updates for the FP extensions.

Exactly how are you opening your site to work on the pages?

I downloaded & installed Office SP3 last night. Problem still exists this
morning.

I open the site via MS Frontpage...it's stored in My Documents --> My Sites
folder so it opens up when I open MS Frontpage. I have not yet posted the
pages to my host.

Some more details / clarifications....
In Design mode I see the menu structures completely duplicated in the "body"
section on the middle/right hand side. It dulplcates my logo & header plus
the left hand navigation buttons.
When I go into Code mode, all my content is missing...it doesn't show up at
all. If I click in there, all my work then disappears in Design mode. It's
particularly "freaky" to watch when I have the Split mode on.

Very frustrating.

What other downloads am I missing? I have FP 2003, now with the SP3
installed.
Thanks guys!

If you are seeing this while working on the live / remote site, then you host need to update the
extensions for your account.

Have you tried scrolling way down the page in Code View?
It sounds to me like you have a bunch of white space at the top of the page.
When you click in the white space, the design portion changes to display where you've clicked.

Are you using includes for your navigation buttons?
If so, have you included them twice?

Re: code disappears in design mode by Tyler

I did try to scroll down...I got to the </html> tag, but the stuff in the
middle is what "vanished".

One thing I was trying to do was to put all my content in a table...so I
could control the format a bit more. Here's the code I was using...
<div align="center"><table border="0" width="730" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tr><td>

</td></tr></table>
</div>

I put the first set between the </head> and <body> tags. Interestingly
enough, I took this out and the problem seems to have gone away. Very
odd...at least to me. How else could I control my format? I want my page to
hve that 730 width and centered.

Thanks again for all your help. This is a great group!

It doesn't go between the </head> and <body> tags,
it goes between the
<body></body tags.

<body>

Thanks Steve! I'm thinking this could have been causing the problems.
Interestingly enough though, when I pulled that table tag up, the whole page
was in the table and looked good in a browser. I just can't stand the
sporadic behavior.
Thanks to Steve, Thomas & Rob!
