Even Stephen

I made a change to my index.htm file and have not been able to make my links
display since. I tried everything I know (which isn't much), including
re-building the index file. What am I missing here? www.evenstephen.com
Thanks!
 
It appears that you made the change to the page with just the page open in
FrontPage, and didn't open FrontPage, then your web, and then the page,
because the image links are pointing back to your hard drive.
file:///C:/My%20Documents/My%20Webs/Even%20Stephen's%20Recipes/buckeyeprint2.jpg

Open FrontPage, open your web, and try recalculating hyperlinks, which
"Might" fix the problems.

Otherwise you will have to remove and reinsert the images.

Also, you really should remove the spaces in folder and file names and
replace them with underscores _ or dashes -

Steve: This is odd. I did as you suggested (I always have FP open first
anyway), edited the index file again, uploaded all files and yet the index
file I view online is not the same as the index file in FP2002 that I see on
my PC. Almost as if the index.htm is not uploading, although FileZilla show
that it is. All the links on the other pages online work fine. ??!! Ken
 
Check your online web site for two index files.
One named index.htm and one named index.html.

When you publish the first time, FrontPage queries the server for the
correct file name for the default file ( home page ) and changes it
according to what the server needs.

If it has been changed to index.html, the next time you publish, FrontPage
will publish the index.htm file also.
So, changes you make to index.htm on your local machine never get published
to index.html on the server.

Cure: rename your "local" home page to index.html and let FrontPage update
hyperlinks when prompted.
Then Publish your web.
Then delete index.htm from the server.

Steve: There is only one index file (htm). However, I looked at the top
border file with the ATT html editor and all of my links appear correct in
that file (http://home.att, etc). Now then, I look at the index.htm file and
here is what I found: // --></script><script language="JavaScript"><!--
if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav1n=MSFPpreload("/C:/My Documents/My Webs/Even
Stephen's Recipes/_derived/ext1079_cmp_expeditn010_hbtn.gif");
MSFPnav1h=MSFPpreload("/C:/My Documents/My Webs/Even Stephen's
Recipes/_derived/ext1079_cmp_expeditn010_hbtn_a.gif"); }
// --></script><a href="http://www.evenstephen.com" language="JavaScript"
Should these scripts have "/C:/My Documents etc."? If not, how do I change
all of these without re-writing all of that code in the ATT HTML edit tool?
Thanks!
 
No it should not appear as C:/My Documents/My Webs/Even Stephen's Recipes
- probably caused by editing a page instead of opening the FP web first
(or linking to a page Not w/o your web - File Import the pages before you link to them)

If your FP web is at C:/My Documents/My Webs/Even Stephen's Recipes
- You have 2 problems the will cause you major errors
Spaces an punctuation in the FP Web/Site folder name Even Stephen's Recipes

Open you local disc based web by browsing to the web folder Even Stephen's Recipes
at C:\My Documents\My Webs\Even Stephen's Recipes
Publish all to a new FP top level disc based web at say
C:\Even_Stephens_Recipes
Close the old FP web (or eventually open it one more time and delete it
Open your new FP disc based web by browsing to
C:\Even_Stephens_Recipes

Run a Tool Recalculate Hyperlinks and then View Reports to see and correct all broken links
