Close window button
I'd like to put a button on a page that closes that page.
The page opens when the user clicks on a hyperlink in
another page, and I want to give the user a button (other
than, obviously, the x in the upper right hand corner) to
close the window automatically. I've seen it done on
other sites, but don't see any help feature in FrontPage
that shows how to do it. I suspect it's with javascript
or something.
Thanks. Tag: sssssssssssssss Tag: 29951
ftp anyone?
prolly outside the remit of frontpage but here goes
i have setup my pc with an ftp server (so students can logon to it from the
web)
when they access via ftp address - there's no prompt to logon/pass
i realise i can log them on individually by building into their url and also
they can logon via File menu
How can i force the ftp to prompt for login/pass via url? (or is the job of
the server? ) Tag: sssssssssssssss Tag: 29944
Hyperlinks
Not sure if this is the correct newsgroup for this type of question. If not,
please advise. How do I have a hyperlink to another website in frontpage
that opens in another window, ie. the original window also remains open?

Custom Links Bar titles show filename, not Cosmetic title
I've created a new linkbar in a shared border.
I've "added links" by browsing for the htm files.
The buttons are titled with the file names (service_new.htm) rather than the
cosmetic Page Propery Name (Services). When using a default linkbar the
buttons show the Page Property name of the file.
Any thoughts on how to get these custom links to display the cosmetic file
name.

FP2002 Inserts form tag
I posted before about not being able to view .aspx pages
after saving them in FP, and since then I've found that
it's because when I click Save in FP, it inserts a /form
tag. How do I make FP stop inserting that /form tag?
*I went to Tools > Page Options > General and
unchecked "~Automatically insert form field tags" and HTML
Source and set it to "~Preserve HTML"

Publishing to FP2003 server extensions
Hi!
I'm using FP2002 to work on a website that was, until
today, hosted on a Windows 2000 server, with FP 2002
server extensions installed. They have upgrarded today to
Windows Server 2003 and the new FP 2003 server extensions
were installed. They uninstalled the old server extensions
and now I can't publish my website via http as I did
before from FP 2002.
Any ideas on what could be going on? Do I need to upgrade
to using FP 2003 in order to use the 2003 server
extensions?
Thanks!!

Background picture in a table or cell
I'm trying to insert a picture in the background of a
table or cell.
The "use background picture" is grayed and will not allow
putting a path to the image.
I can manually enter the path by typing in the code, but
that is the hard way.
I cannot find where this function is locked. Opening the
same web site on another PC using front page can insert a
background picture. So the problem must be somewhere in
the configuration of FrontPage on this PC. Tag: sssssssssssssss Tag: 29897

Database counter
Hi,
Probably answered many times, but here it is.
I have an simple Access database. I would like to display the number of
records found in the database and display it on the result page.
So, a text that says: "Search results xx records"
Can I do that with a separate results table and a custom SOL, or do I need
to study more in Jim Buyens excellent books?
Your help is appreciated.

Using VBA to automate shared border updating
I'm attempting to use VBA to provide my users with a form
that will allow them to "fill in the blanks" each of which
is a textbox representing unique information (unique to
the web they are administering). Once the form
is "submitted", this unique information would be stored in
a file, then be written to the required positions in to
the top, left and bottom shared border files for the web
concerned. The idea is to remove the requirement for users
to directly edit border files.
I'm at the point where the form information can be
successfully written to a text file which resides within
the web structure and now need to read each line from the
text file back into the successive text boxes on the form.
(The reason that this is required is to make editing
changes easy by populating the form with current saved
values once the form contents have been previously created
and saved). My thought was that I could do this using an
array, but I have had no luck. I want to populate each
textbox in the form with the saved values before
displaying it.
Any advice would be appreciated, including pointers to any
websites that deal extensively with VBA issues. I've
searched for but not found any helpful sites.
Thanks,

else, say "start" or something and then tell the flash program to load this
page when the movie is done or if you click on skip intro to then load the

Paragraphs within a memo field.
Hi,
I am using FrontPage to input data to an Access Database.
One of the fields is a memo field, so I include a text
area in the form. The single text area allows the user to
input more than one paragraph. But, when it's input to
the database, apparently the paragraphs are ignored and
it all comes out one large paragraph. So, when I show the
user what he's entered, it all comes out in a single big
and unmanageable paragraph. I don't know how many
paragraphs in advance the user's going to include, and I
don't want to limit the number. Anybody have a suggestion
as to how to solve this? T
