Index Page Not Responding

Hi...
I am having a problem getting my index.htm file to open...I am not having
problems with any other files..only this one. The last thing I did was add a
page transition so that it fades in when the site is opened in the
browser...I thought this could be the problem? Now I can't even access it so
that I can make a change. Any idea?
 
Do you not have a local copy? or do you mean you can't open the local
copy? If worst comes to worst, a local copy could be opened in Notepad
and you could then delete the offending lines... if it's the online
copy, you might have to first FTP the file back to your hard drive using
a third-party FTP program if you can't do it in FrontPage, and then open
the file locally.

If indeed you have been making changes on the live copy of this file,
don't do that any more -- fraught with danger. Always work on a local
copy and get it right in your browser and then publish it to the server.
 
Thanks David...I just took this website over, and I was not the one who
actually created it...so I am a little lost. The index.html file was the main
page of the website, and I have been making some changes and updates on
it...with no problems for about a month now...it shows up fine in IE and AOL
browsers..but yesterday, it just stopped responding and I can't even get it
opened though I was able to copy and paste all of it's contents to a new page
and rename it "index2.htm" which seems to be working fine, however the last
update I made today didn't show up in either browser. Am I on the right track
or is there something else I need to do?
 
Select View Navigation and from Folder List drag index2.htm onto it a same level as index.htm
- drag all your other pages that were under index.htm under index2.htm
Delete the index.htm
Rename your new index2.htm to index.htm
In Folder View Right click index.htm to Select as home page
Select View Navigation and correct your nav view if required

THANKS Stefan! IT WORKED!! I will sleep good tonight! I appreciate the help
very much! Gee..those darn webbots are a headache. This guy has them
connected to every page so if I make any changes, it changes ALL of them...is
there a secret to separating so that I can change the header info on the top
of each page without making permanent changes on all the pages connected?
I am new at this, but it is fun...and gee, I still have have of my hair left
at least. :)
 
Not if using shared borders - any change in shared borders will appear on
all pages using shared borders. Just guessing here. Post the URL so we can
see what yer talking about.
