HTML - Ms Frontpage Nightmare - Validation?!?
A friend asked me to help validate their code.
Like a mug I said yes. How hard could it be? Then I found that FrontPage does not appear to use CSS (gulp) and is steam-powered or something. Aarghh! Well - I sure bit off more than I could chew this time. I figure I'll add a CSS external file, let's say main.css, and reference it in the header. There are dozens of errors of course, things that no sane person has seen before... Like for example a 'microsoftborder'. Hmm, no wonder FrontPage died! Anyway, my friend can't change now, the site is too big and complicated. We just need to get some important pages to validate - like the index page for example. The first job is a whole-page border she has: it's a 5px gold border, stepped in by 5px, all round the page. That all fails miserably in validation as it's got stuff like [bordercolordark="#c0c0c0"] etc. Yikes. So I want to strip that out and put something sensible in the CSS. Anyone tell me what the CSS code for a whole-page 5px border is, stepped in 5px all round, please? You'll be helping a poor FrontPage victim. RIP is all I can say. Similar TutorialsHi, im struggling in uploading index.html in my ftp server. I've uploded all the images but it still doesnt work, how do i fix it ? page is extasy.freevar.com Which to choose? DreamWeaver or FrontPage? Hello, I've created a web site using frontpage 2003 and my client requested another language recently, so I copied the whole site into another directory in a PC and translated it. The original language is in Turkish with menu options on the left and I've added English button and need html to call the other index.html in the other directory. So here is the question: How can I upload the other directory into the server without disturbing the current structure and is there another simple way to have both languages in one directory ? Thanks in advance I have the 50webs site and I made it in FrontPage and used a FrontPage Theme, but when I uploaded it to 50webs the theme did not show up, can anyone help? Goo Day... I'm "still" working with Microsoft FrontPage 2003. I have created a Quiz homepage, used for training, and included a Drop Down Box, where the user can select his name before answering some questions. At the end the user Submits the answers and I get an email with the selection. I would like to add following: when the candidate submits his work, he gets an email with his answers automatically according the selected name in the Drop Down Box. Any idea how I can do this? Cheers, Kues. K so a while back ago I created my website using microsoft frontpage 2003, but since then my harddrive has crashed (got one up and running now) and I cant find the CD to install it again on my new formatted harddrive.. So I took the source code off the website that was up and worked with that in notepad. Eventually figured out what I needed to do to get it to do what I needed (basically I just wanted to add more pictures in my gallery, was easy to figure out just by looking at the source code). So now I have, what appears, to be working html code (when I open the .html file in internet explorer, all the links seem to be in working order). But I'm not sure how to get the new source code applied to my website. When I was using frontpage, I was able to 'publish to web', and that seemed to take care of all the file managing. So without that 'publish to web' button, I'm at a loss. My web hosting is omnis. I figure I have to do something with the file manager when I log in. But, for instance, I'm not sure what to do with the actual source code to apply it, and exactly how to set up directories and whatnot manually. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated (or atleast has some links to some good tutorials/help websites. I've been looking around and can't seem to find what I need. ) Thanks Im trying to add a god forum to my website however am currently unable to find suitable/working HTML code, im working in Frontpage so HTML is not a necessity but im not sure what other languages have full support in there. The forums need an avator, seperate usernames and passwords, and easy navigation. Does anyone have any ideas, it would be much appreciated I've created a form using FrontPage (2003) and modified Form Properties so it will send the form by an e-mail . I also enabled FrontPage extensions on the server side, however, whenever "Send" is pressed I receive "Page not found" message. Perhaps the Form Handler is not working right but I couldn't find any info related nor any related fields to change at the server part. I appreciate any help as this the final step to finalize my web site. Thanx in advance Iv been creating an ebay listing on Frontpage, the pictures iv added to the page have been from my pc, next I click on the CODE tab at the bottom, I copy all the code, then I go into turbo lister and click the HTML tab, I paste the code in, then I click on preview, the pics are not there, just a little red x in the corner. So Im thinking I should upload the Pics from my PC onto my server, (uk2) aswel as the whole file, in uk2 on the panel it shows EDIT HTML, it has all the pics there! then I click the CODE Tab and copy the code and pasted the code back into turbo lister, same thing, no pics again. Most of the time I figure these typs of things out before I get help, and this was is a real brain teaser! The filename is ebaylisting1, also it says the the file is a firefox Document Please Advise, thank you Hey guys, Im workign with a new client and she had a previous designer do her site. Problem is it was done in Frontpage has a referenced .dwt file and Im trying to edit this. I generally work with puremarkup but have dreamweaver to get an instant visual change as I do this. My problem is as i'm trying to change stuff its not allowing me to do this. Also in the directory there are tons of _vti directories. There is a form on her site which was done in ASP so in general I'm slightly confused as to the best way to edit her site. I even just copied the code and pasted it into a new window and its giving me hangups about this. I think the way Frontpage generated the code is wonky. The site URL is alongcamemary.biz Can you guys make some suggestions on the best way to approach this. Thanks, Richard I am having troubles with frame navigation...I have 2 sites with the same frameset configuration of a topFrame and a lower mainFrame. I want a link on the mainFrame of site A to open a page in the mainFrame of site B. The page that I want to open is located on site B but whenever I click on the link in site A it opens in the mainFrame of site A. I know that specifying the target as _parent will take it out of the frame it's in, but how do I target it to open in the mainFrame of site B? nevermind, problem solved Hi there, I am using frontpage and have just created a button called 'terms and conditions'. How to I get frontpage to make this open up into a small new window that I can paste my terms into. This is what I am after, just a smaller window like pop-up box style thing! Cheers! I'm trying to validate my html (I've already validated my css), and I keep getting these two errors: there is no attribute "target". ...ref="http://www.freewebs.com" target="_blank">freewebs</a> AND: document type does not allow element "hr" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag. The Navigation: Yay! <br /><hr /><br /> I really don't understand the target="_blank" issue, and I don't know enough about hr's to complain about the second one, so does anyone care to explain? http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ww...%2Faboutme.php any idea how to fix that or even what the problem is? I did close the div, and body, unless im looking at it wrong. thanks Hello, I am finally getting around the topping off the cake if you will and validating my site. I am having trouble understanding some of the validation errors. What I'll do is link you to the validation and then tell you which ones I am having trouble understanding. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scubatoo.net%2Findex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inlin e&group=0 And the ones I am having trouble with and can't quite figure out how to fix are, Actually on second thought, I don't quite understand a majority of them. Is there a way I can refrence these problems on a website? Thanks, Ryan Can someone please run the following page through the W3C for me so you can see the errors that come up and tell me if it is important I change them? The errors look like they are all resulting from a javascript I am using. I don't know how to fix it. Im hoping it doesn't matter. thanks |
