My Angel MDC,

Unless you send her all the files contained in the FrontPage Web that
you have created she will not be able to see it. You will need to find a
way to publish the FP Web to the internet so she can view it in it's full
glory. I know that sounds kinda sucky, but unfortunately without her having
the sub-files that go along with the web she won't be able to view it. If
you currently have a web page out there, that you are having hosted just
created a sub-web on it and upload that page to it. It makes life alot
easier when showing clients (or in your case friends) a page setup. )

If she just wants to view the page you could go with the
low tech solution of printing a hard copy and sending it
to her via snail mail or fax.

do you have an ISP or host you can upload the web to? this would be far easier,
then give your friend the address so she can view the site on the web - but it
won't necessarily be viewed by anyone else unless they know it exists.

By what do you mean "incomplete".?

If you mean she gets missing images (the red 'x' symbol) and so on it may be to
do with the fact that you have a different file structure, different directories
and so on than her computer so the browser can't find the files or else you
haven't sent her ALL the files associated with the web site - they are linked,
not embedded in the web page, so you need to include all the files, attachements,
images and so on that go to make up the site for her to view it.

That is why it would be easier to publish the site to a web server for your
friend to view. Put it in a password protected directory and send her the
password if you're worried about others viewing the site before it's ready, so
then only she and you can view it.

I hope this clears up your problem.

What do you mean by "not completed?" If you're referring to images, they
don't reside inside a web page, as it is plain text. It contains references
to the URLs of the pictures that it should display. If you want her to see
the pictures, change the URLs to absolute URLs that point to a web server
location where the images can be found.

Thank you all for all your help. I am going to try what you said do. My only thing is how do you set it up as a sub web and put a password and when I am finish how do I take the sub web off.

If you are publishing to a server that has the FP extensions, then open the
site on the remote server directly in FP via File Menu | Open Web, then
create a folder, then right click and select Convert to Web, if this doesn't
work, then you host doesn't allow you to have subwebs.

As far setting permission, this again depends on your ability to create
subweb, and then being able to open the subweb in FP and then click Tools |
Security (Some host do not all users to set permissions).

If you can create the subweb, and as long as you have no links to/from it,
then the only people that see it, will be those you provide a URL to.

We have to go slow. What do you mean "open the site on the remote server directly in FP via File Menu"

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

File Menu | Open Web / Site and enter the URL to the remote server, then you
login info, etc.
