I have an older website I've been updating using FrontPage 2002. I just
created two new pages to link from the existing homepage. But for some
reason, the new pages can't be linked to. They're also saving with an
unusual icon that looks like a text document with a globe and an arrow on it.
(all the other .htm files I have show up with the standard IE icon.) Any
advice?
 
Did you File | Open Web first, before creating the new pages?
Pages within the web will show with the FP icon (the blue arrow thing).
 
Unless they're asp pages...yellow gears?

Click to expand...
 
and javascript is a yellow staircase or a saxophone (never could figure out that icon) :-)
 
Thanks for the info to both... I finally figured out that when you create a
new page in FrontPage, it doesn't include the right headers to make the page
'linkable.' I copied the headers from my old pages onto the new pages and it
works like a charm!
 
Not sure I know what you mean about 'right headers'

When you create a new page FP will name it a default name like; new_page2.htm, you then need to rename it and add a page title. You're given the option to rename when you save the page - if you don't rename it will retain the default name.
 
This is the HTML code I copied to the top of my new pages and it fixed the
problem.
