IE7 javascript bug in FP2003 ?

Maybe it would be faster if I just showed you the code in question:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>AMS Home</title>
<script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation">
<!--
function dynAnimation() {}
function clickSwapImg() {}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript"
src="file:///G:/AMSIntranet/share/scripts.js"></script>

That is before entering Preview mode. Then I enter Preview mode, and get
the same error with the javascript. Then I wind up with this code on the
screen:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>AMS Home</title>
<script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation">
<!--
function dynAnimation() {}
function clickSwapImg() {}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation"
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/fpclass/animate.js">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript"
src="file:///G:/AMSIntranet/share/scripts.js"></script>

Notice how the pathway for the animate.js has changed for no apparent reason?
 
Either one of these:
file:///G:/AMSIntranet/share/scripts.js"></script>
or
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/fpclass/animate.js">

tells me that you might have been editing a page "outside" of your web, or editing a page without having a web open.

Go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and download FP Cleaner ( with Expression Web Designer and
SharePoint Designer support )
Download links are at the bottom of the page.
Run the functions that clear:
The Hidden Temporary files.
The Hidden Cache (*.web) files.


then open FrontPage.
open your "Web"
open the page and reinsert the aniamtion.

what do you mean "editing a page 'outside' of your web"? As an FYI, this is
an Intranet page, no external link to show you. I'm not quite sure on what
you're asking me to do about it either. Sorry, my comprehension today is a
bit low due to a bout of insomnia.
 
It tells me your editing the page as an individual file without opening a web first.
"Or" you are browsing outside of the "web root" when selecting the file path.

That is why FrontPage is creating file based links to your files:
src="file:///G:/AMSIntranet/share/scripts.js"></script>

It should be <script language="JavaScript" src="animate.js"></script>
for the one in the same folder as the page
or <script language="JavaScript" src="foldername/animate.js"></script>
for one in a different folder
