My web page has been set up for a few months now using frontpage. All was
well untill i tryed to add something to home page, nuthing i havent done
befor, and after i saved then looked in preview the background theme seams to
have dissapeared. I try to re-do theme and it looks like its there while im
in frontpage but when you look at the web site its not there. It was only
missing on home page but when i tryed to add somehthing to another page its
gone from there too,after saving and then previewing. I see it as it should
be in frontpage but its not there when you look at it online. thanks for any
help

On the home page:
There is a <div> starting in the <head.> section of the page, and ending
after the <body> tag - <divs> must start and finish after the <body> tag.

Remove
<div style="border-style: double; border-width: 3px">
<font color="#808000">

from the <head section in Code view


</font> between </head> and <body should be removed.

Remove the stray </div> tag after the <body> tag.

The space bar should not be used as a layout tool.

In the home page , switch to Code View.

Find

<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="expeditn 1011">

and delete everything between that and

</head>

so you end up with
<html>
<head>
loads of stuff
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="expeditn 1011">
</head>

still showing.

Just under </head> you will find </font>
Delete </font>

Next you will see <body onload=".....

This is followed by
</div> which should be deleted.

theme is still gone and now things are not lined up all nice like..... i
think as long as i dont close frontpage i can at least change it back im not
sure what to do. can this be a server problem?

Does my version of the page look right? It looks the same layout as your
original.
Please publish your latest page - the one on the web site is your original
page.

yes your page looked the same as mine only things were not lined up quite the
same but with you code the theme and counter are still missing so i undid
change befor i left frontpage. Ill change the code again to yours and let it
save so you can see it.

The page at http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/pages/witchy.htm displays
both the theme and hitcounter.

Are you editing your page in FrontPage 2003 with a web open, and publishing
to your host using File->Publish Site?

Try opening the remote site in FrontPage and running Tools->Recalculate
Hyperlinks

To open the remote site, click the remote site tab at the bottom of the
main FrontPage window, log in and choose "Open your Remote Site in
FrontPage"
