Files on the Desktop

Hi, another question I am afraid.

I have created a Dynamic Web Template from an existing page in a website and
have set the editable regions.

Now, whenever I update the DWT, and update all attached pages, I am left
with .htm files and associated folder on my desktop.

Why is this, and I how to I set my settings to cure this?

This did not happen on two other sites that I have recently done, and I
created the DWT in the same way.

Kind regards,

Peter

Sounds like you are opening your desktop folder as a FP web/site

Hi Stefan,

No, I am not doing this. I have tried numerous things to stop this,
including closing the site I was working on in FP and then importing it and
saving it as a new site.

All the sites I work on are on a seperate partition on my development drive.

The site was sent to me zipped via email. I saved the zip to my 'downloads'
partition and in a seperate folder, unzipped this to it's own folder in the
'unzipped' partition and the used Windows Explorer to move the unzipped
folder into the relevant folder within the development partition.

As you can see, there is no association with the desktop at all.

Regards,

Peter

I have just started again with this website from scratch. I made various
changes to both the DWT and the attached pages, with no problems at all.

However, as soon as I add an Interactive Button to the DWT and then save
this and update all attached pages, I once again get the folder and blank
..HTM file on my desktop.

In this instance, the folder contains the following:

- <xml xmlns:eek:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice">
<o:MainFile HRef="../bed1.htm" />
<o:File HRef="image001.gif" />
<o:File HRef="filelist.xml" />
</xml>

Every page that is attached to the DWT has a blank .HTM file and a folder
containg similar info to that shown above.

I have done a Detect and Repair, but this has not helped.

I cannot belive that just adding an IB should cause this to happen.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Peter

Slightly confused here - folders contain files, not text. Is the text
you quote actually in the blank HTML page? What files are in the
folder?

An Interactive Button produced in FronPage does not generate that code
or any folders. The components are JavaScript placed in the <head>
section of the page and images temporarily stored in the
FrontPageTempDir, then saved wherever you specify (default same folder
as the page or DWT) when the page or DWT is saved. When attaching a
DWT to a page, only that page is modified, no additional pages or
folders are normally produced.

The code you show is typical of using Word to produce a web page and
then inmporting that page into FrontPage, or using WordArt (or other
VML shapes) with downlevel graphics. The associated folder (named
_pagename_files) will contain two or more files: filelist.xml amd
image0001.gif etc.
I have never tried this (and never will) but I think your additional
files/folders are the result of using Word (or some other Office
application - not FrontPage) or WordArt to produce some content in
your DWT.

Hi Ron,

Strange that you should come up with that, as I was looking at this in the
early hours this morning, and also realised that it was only the pages in
which my friend had added word art from word that were having these folders
and files created for them on the desktop.

To answer your questions, yes you are correct of course, and I did not word
my post correctly.

The folder contains three files, one of which was the text I posted, another
is the wordart image and I am afraid that I cannot remember what the third
file was.

I have overcome the problem now, by removing the IB from the DWT, as I did
not need it anyway, just the 'onload' component that FP created, so that I
could add to this.

Thanks to all who answered this post. I will tell my friend to stop adding
wordart graphics to her pages.

Kind regards,

Peter
