Top Shared Border - Error on Page

I changed my top shared border on my main web last Friday and since then I
have been having trouble publishing. The border is a graphic from a file in
the web. It is hotspotted. I have all hyperlinks opening to a whole page -
and have defaulted the border page properties to do the same.

It has finally published after about 50 attempts, but now the page shows
"error on page". Here is the page that has the error...

http://www.destinationcoupons.com/INDEX.htm

I have about 20 subwebs and the border published and is doing fine. I even
used an absolute image link and it worked perfectly.

Does anyone have a clue what the problem is with the main web?
 
"Error on page" seems to refer to a java script error - nothing to do with
the shared border.

However I don't see any problem with the page you've mentioned below. It
loads OK, and I don't see any "error on page".

If you've overome the problem please post back.
 
It still shows "ERROR ON PAGE" when I access any page in my main web - but
not a subweb (like Las Vegas). That's why I am pretty sure it has to do with
the top shared border. I have looked at the code and everything seems fine to
me too. I am thinking that it has to be a Frontpage thing.

I'd really like to fix it because I cannot fully publish my whole Main web.
 
The error may be coming from the script called with the line:
<script src="/__utm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

However, there is another possible source from the line:
<!--#include virtual="/admentor/include/admentor2.asp"-->
if that page is ever included - usually the INDEX.htm would have to be
named INDEX.asp or INDEX.shtml for an SSI to work. Norton Internet
Security will probably block anything from admentor.asp anyway.
 
I will check this out. The utm line MAY be for the Urchin web tracking
zoftware that we have on the site, but I am checking. I'll let you know.

I will check the admentor line also.

Thanks
 
It is not the Admentor. Even though the index page is not asp, the other
pages in the web are. We have had this for years and this should not be the
problem.

Does the graphic that I use for the top border have to be in the top border
file. Or can it be in a graphic file on my web? Also, can it be a relative
raphic link, for example, instead of ../../Index_graphics/header.gif
can it be
http://www.destinationcoupons.com/Index_graphics/header.gif
 
The graphic itself can be located anywhere in the website, and it will be
best to reference it with a relative link
such as ../../Index_graphics/header.gif That way if you move it to a
different location, or rename it, FrontPage will update all pages that use
the image. That will not happen with an absolute link.

I have noticed one problem with this image: If it is viewed in Internet
Explorer browser opened to 800x600 (which a third or more of all users
use - see stats. at www.thecounter.com and add those who open the browser
in a small window), it will shrink a little so it can be displayed
completely. This may affect the position of the hotspots you have in the
image map. You may want to resize the image to take this into account.
 
Hi again. Both of those codes are fine. The utm is for the web tracking
software. This is the code I have on the top border. Do you see anything
wrong with it? I have had my host reinstall the FP Extentions but I STILL
cannot publish this top border - even when I try to just publish the
individual file itself. This is the code...

A final thing, if my other suggestion doesn't work, copy and paste the shared border file from your
local copy to the live/remote copy via FP, then on the live/remote site run Tools | Recalculate
Hyperlinks

The border file in your post is the same as the border on the website. It
does need some adjustment.
The image map coordinates are such that only two buttons actually do
anything useful.

INDEX.htm: left:0, top:44, right:119, bottom:62 - width 119px, which
appears to span 2 buttons.

INDEX.htm: left:211, top: 45, right 530, bottom: 62 - width 319px, which
goes to the end of the nav.bar

locations.asp: left: 120, top 45, right 211, bottom 62 - width 91px, This
is sandwiched between the above two buttons.

Las_vegas.asp: left 522, top 6, right 577, bottom 27 - this button seems
to be above and to the right of the nav bar.

The other mapped areas also appear above and to the right of the nav bar.
