Using FP 2005, Win2000
I have set up bookmarks, tested and found them to be working properly and
then sometime later go back to the page and find the bookmark flag gone.
This has happened on different sites with different servers. Has anyone else
had this problem and how did you resolve? Thanks.
 
No
- make sure your bookmarks (anchor tags) are not empty when you create them

Sefan - What do you mean "empty"? I am not selecting text when I insert the
bookmark because I don't want that text underlined. I insert the bookmark on
the line where I want the hyperlink to go to on the page. Is that what's
causing the problem? Thanks.
 
Yes an anchor should not be empty
- and should preferably just be named w/ a single word
Remove the underlining w/ a CSS style in the page head section

<style type="text/css"><!--
a { text-decoration:none; }
//--></style>

Interesting that almost exactly a year later I have the same symptoms! :)

My bookmark flags disappear too. They exist and I can publish them.
Testing goes great when initially published.

I can recreate the problem with these steps.

1) Insert the bookmark
2) Save the .htm
3) Exit FrontPage
4) Open FrontPage
5) The flag is missing


My bookmark TOP does not disappear though.

Currently, I am putting my bookmarks inside of text boxes. Maybe that is
part of the problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Can you point me in the right direction on this goal...

I am putting together a resume website for me. At the top of the page is a
list of postions. I want to allow my future employer to click on the
position and jump to detailed description of that position. I've placed
those descriptions inside of text boxes further down on the same page.

I resorted to putting the bookmarks inside the text boxes because I couldn't
get the placement of the bookmark to jump to the text box correctly.

I've only had FrontPage for about a week so this is a basic rather than an
advanced query. Somehow, I need to link the bookmark with the text related
to each job.

Do I need to get rid of the text boxes?

Bob
 
Definitely get rid of the text boxes.

You can use tables or <divs> to lay out your pages. Use CSS to put borders
round sections if you wish - I would not do that on a CV or resume.
