Does not FP2003 have what is called Design Time Server Extensions that act
much like the FP server extensions that when I have active content on my box
locally it uses my localhost as a server and renders the includes, navigation
and other webots? If so that functionality is either broken or being
blocked. How do I get this functionality back

I have a personal firewall but I don't see any FP component being blocked.

Navigation bars and includes. Along with this the images are not displaying
and the links to the CSS style sheets are not working. These are not being
applied to the Split view window. Only the Nvaigation and Includes are
missing from the Preview view.

FP design time extensions only work in a disc based web. In a server
based web the full set of FPextensions are running.
Include files not displaying is often caused by invalid HTML in either
the include file, or the receiving page. "Invalid" here refers to
broken table, div etc. tags. Check that all files concerned have
<html><head></head><body></body</html> tags (in that order), and all
HTML elements opened are also properly closed when appropriate.
 
I perfected the code to eliminate errors using CSE HTMLValidator 6.5 set to
XHTML 1.0. The code is nearly perffect and then I find the apparent errors in
the wbots. I say apparent since historically this tool finds errors in them
that may or may not be errors. That's for you to decide.

**Error in line 85 at character 584: The "target" attribute has an invalid
attribute value "". Try using one of the following values: an alphanumeric
string or a string.**

There are a whole string of these for each of the includes. The target
attribute field is blank for the includes, This may be by design to be
completed by the extensions. I don't know. But after cleaning the code -
nothing.

All I know is after installinging an add-in this happened. I uninstalled the
add-in, the problem did not go away. I uninstalled FP and reinstalled it and
the issue remains.
