I have a website that was orginally done in html code. I have imported this
website into frontpage 2003, and now every change I make doen't work and
things come up missing. Am I better off to make a new website or keep
fiddling with the old one with 831 broken hyperlinks?
 
IMHO, I'd start from scratch.

Hello, let me clarify, this site was developed with manual html and
assistance from front page 98, the site has been up and running for 4 years
and through the mitagation from one owner to another to another of the same
hosting server things have started to dissapear from the site and now i've
treid to make changes with this 2003 version and in FP i can get everything
to work in testing on my local drive but when i publish to my host things
become scewed as maybe the background gif dissapears or a links quit or
inline gifs just shows the placeholder.. It's a large site and complete redo
is (scary) and time intensive, is it possible that the server doesn't have
everything configured??? The server says FP ext. are installed.. Thanks for
your time Rick
 
*All* websites are done in "HTML Code"......

Where'd you import the site from? If from the live web server, then you
need to *publish* (not import) the site from the server to a folder (of your
choice) on the local PC.

Assuming the server ext are installed, open the live site (File > Open > Web
(or Open > Site) then type in the full URL of the website; then transfer go
to File > Publish > Site and publish. Note your PC as the destination will
be the "remote" and the live server is "local" as "local and "remote" terms
are determined by which version of the web is open, not necessarily the
physical location, since, your web server could be in the same building,
rather than in another city, or across the country.

If server ext not installed you need to transfer/publish the files with FTP
mode in FP or an FTP program.
 
I have Frontpage 2003, I am trying to make updates on my site. When I make a
update, save it, it looks great in Frontpage. As soon as I publish a page or
the entire site I end up with all of my background graphics disappearing! I
have published with the Frontpage extension, and the FTP. It still happens.
Everything is fine in Frontpage, what is happening between that and
publishing?
