Checking a hyperlink

Hi all,

I have added a link to a web page which has a .aspx entension - when I try
to ctrl-click this to open it (ie, testing it works before publishing) I get
an error message, and also a log in prompt for the server - I dont get this
when I paste the URL directly into IE.

Can anyone help?

FrontPage 2000.

FrontPage 2003 handles it slightly different where it actually tries to open
the page to edit instead of browse.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

That is normal behavior. It is an Active Server Page, and must be requested
via a web server.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for such a prompt response. I appreciate this, but before we updated
our application (that these links point to) - it was written in ASP - these
were fine - its only the ASPX's that seem to cause the problems?!

Any thoughts?

Not offhand. I don't do ASP.Net with FrontPage. I use VS.Net for that.
However, ASP.Net is fully-compiled. Perhaps that has something to do with
it. I just can't say.

HI Kevin,

As do I - but what happens if you want to link to a .net page within a
simple Frontpage website - this is what we're trying to do....
