Front Page 2000 does NOT allow multiple <body> tags, Whgy not?

D

DAWG

I am trying to have multiplr <body> tags but Front page2000 keeps erasing all
but the first one.

That would be because FrontPage knows all about HTML, and you apparently do
not. It is not valid to have more than one body tag in a page, nor does it
serve any useful purpose, as the body tag is there for your browser's
benefit, not yours, and is invisible to you, unless you are viewing the
source code of the page, in which case it is simply text that doesn't belong
there more than once.

If you don't know the answer then Please don't reply. There ARE Reasons for
this, and Other HTML Products allow it. I have been coding html since 1992. I
could do this by Raw coding but then what would be the sence of having
Frontpage.

I am running multiple Java scripts on the Page. I could do this by Raw coding
but then what would be the sence of having Frontpage. Many other HTML
products allow this.

1992 was a long time ago. I do know the answer. You don't accept it.

I have been programming since 1992. But I certainly don't program the way I
did back then!

Now, there must be some reason or requirement that you want to fulfill, that
you THINK requires having more than one body tag in the page. But what you
want to accomplish by this incorrect method can certainly be accomplished
with correct/valid HTML. Why don't you tell us what you're trying to achieve
in the wrong way, and we can tell you how to achieve it in the right way?

Your inane answer is unacceptable. If the product is incapable of doing this
then I'll just go purchase something else that can.

Think out of the box sometime, it may help you advance a little quicker. It
was a simple question that (if you knew anything about the product) you could
have answered with a simple question instead of being buligerant.

I'm sorry that the Cafeteria by you ran out of starbucks but it is no reason
to be insultling.

Now go back in your cube and think about it and let the adults discuss this
issue.

You don't need multiple body tags to run multiple JavaScript's.

What an appropriate name, DAWG. It so happens that I don't have a "cube." I
have an office. And as far as thinking out of the box is concerned, I think
that the compliments I received from the Microsoft FlightSim programmers and
the NASA people with whom I worked on the SATS Danville demonstration, where
my 3D Terrain-modelling program for small aircraft was featured in the
Future tent will more than compensate for your lame attempts to insult me.

As far as adults are concerned, my guess is that I am not only older than
you, but most certainly more experienced than you. As for intelligence,
well, that is self-evident. And one should learn from one's superiors, if
one expects to learn at all. I doubt, however, that learning falls within
your intentions.

As far as purchasing "something else that can," I'm afraid you'll be in for
the same disappointment. You can certainly write HTML in NotePad that will
not be messed with, and FrontPage as well, although I have no intention of
telling you how. Regardless, with an unteachable attitude such as you have,
you will constantly be frustrated and disappointed with the results you get,
and no doubt continue to blame anyone and everything but yourself.

Now, if you want to continue this little flame war, I am certainly up to the
task. Or, perhaps, you might want some actual help? I am up to that task as
well.

Hey dawg, coding html since 92, when it was only 2 years
old. You should have waited a few mor years though- the
main structure of html was not agreed upon until May of 94,
and
the specifications for html were not published until
November of 95.

Really doesn't matter, as you don't need more than 1 body
tag as you have been told

w3c won't validate it either

Thank you for answering my question. The product is incapable.

You couldn't RAW code if your life depended on it. All the new GL tools
turned EVERYONE into "Programers" Sheeesh. Take the tools away and give you
nothing more then a raw compiler and your lost.

Since you answered my question. i'm out. Obviously talking to at best
College kids, but more then likely High School part timers.

As for the reasons why. You wouldn't understand.

And as for the comment about coding html in 92..... Exactly, some of us
were. The rest of you caught on later.

No product is capable of doing what you "think" you want to do.

When you find one, ( notepad not included ) post it here and prove myself and Kevin wrong.

For Kevin:
By any chance do you have a link to some info or an example for running an .avi embedded in a
resource file,
in a picture box contained in a form or dialog, using a windows api without writing a dll to make it
work.

Yo Dawg,

HTML is not programming. It also has nothing to do with compilers.

DAWG, I'm curious about something.

First, my understanding is that the HTML that is served up must have exactly
one body element, <body> ... </body> to be valid. (What browsers do is yet a
different question.)

That's not quite the same as saying that there must be exactly one body
element on the server side, but I think FrontPage, which basically manages
the <head>+<body> element structure enforces it.

Can you provide more about the case where you find having multiple <body>
tags to be valuable, and does it still have the browser actually see only one
<body> element? Maybe there is a restatement of your use that works well
enough within the structure that FrontPage supports.

I have to tell you that the only HTML that I have seen with multiple <body>
tags involved phishing exploits against browsers. (So a better question
might be, why do some browsers accept multiple <body> tags as part of their
"forgiving" design?)

maybe Dawg is a phisherman, and that is why he did not elaborate on why he needs two sets of body tags?
