My website is at www.leforum.com.au. I am publishing to a server with Frontpage extensions. I receive no error message. I have one website and 2 subsites (1 for english and 1 for french). During the time I publish a subsite I can see the site working well with i.e. In the last seconds of publishing just befor I get the status as successfull, all the frames on my web sites disappear. I have been spending many hours on my own and many hours with my Internet Access Provider to try to solve the problem, unsuccessfully.
I would really appreciate if someone could help...
Thank you in advance.

What do you mean by "all the frames on my web sites
disappear"? For example:

o Are you using framesets, and the frames pages get
deleted (leaving perhaps only the target pages?)

o Does FrontPage rename some other page so that it,
rather than the frames page you want, becomes
the home page?

o Something else?

This is a very unusual problem, but am I right in thinking
you're trying to use Navigation View and Link Bars in the
same site as a Frames page? If so, that won't work.
Navigation view can't organize frameset links for you; you
have to do it by hand.

Thank you for the response. I am using FP2003 and the web package solution
'corporate presence wizard'.
- losing the frames means the buttons on the left hand side and on top are
no longer visible after publishing is completed. Again during the publishing
work I can see them... Looks like something is being erased in the last few
seconds of publishing.
- On top of losing the frames, it seems that the same information is repated
several times. May I suggest that you have a look at my home page
www.leforum.com.au then select French or English? This is where the problem
lies.
- FP does not rename pages
Appreciate your help...

Looking at http://www.leforum.com.au/Eng/index.html
- you page content is repeating and your shared border (top, left, bottom) are not appearing

For Borders not appearing:
Shared borders and Include Pages are design time tools w/ the content (inside the <BODY> tags) of the Shared Border or Include page
"embedded" or included as html in your pages when you save any of the file(s) using them (or save the borders / include pages
themselves)

FP converts your page(s) to a series of tables to include the Shared borders, (which are really just a special case of Include
pages). But FP can not build those tables if either your shared border page content or main page content has illegal html or broken
tag pairs
- usually due to missing </body></html> tags, or unmatched table / cell tags (unclosed table / cell tags), or some other unclosed
html block element

If you can see them using File Preview in Browser they will publish in as part of your pages

If you can't see them using File Preview in Browser, it's because FP can not build the included content tables, so you need to
validate and correct your broken html

For content repeating:
There are some bugs in the FP2002 SE related to shared borders & include pages
so make sure you (and your host) see & apply all appropriate patches from:

If using FP 2002, For info in Service Pack 1 & 2 for FP2002 / MSO XP - see:

Thanks for your help. I solved my problem by re-writing my website (seems
some elements were broken). At the same time my host has updated Frontpage
server extension by downloading the listed patches.
One last problem exists: The search function. My host mentioned that they
have created an index catalog and I can see a new directory called
'catalog.wci' but there is nothing in it.
Dare not asking for more help but if you know what to do, drop me a note...
Thanks

You may need to open the life site in FrontPage, then open and save
your Search page. This is to incorporte the changes your host has
made.

Did what Jim mentioned with no success. Still receiving the same error :
there is no catalog. I am using the web component 'search'. Is there anything
I should do to indicate where the catalog.wci file that my host has created
is?
More help will be welcome.... I am really struggling on this problem and
getting desperate...
Thanks in adavance...

Did what Jim mentioned with no success. Still receiving the same error :
there is no catalog. I am using the web component 'search'. Is there anything
I should do to indicate where the catalog.wci file that my host has created
is?
More help will be welcome.... I am really struggling on this problem and
getting desperate...
Thanks in adavance...

Thanks for your help. I solved my problem by re-writing my website (seems
some elements were broken). At the same time my host has updated Frontpage
server extension by downloading the listed patches.
One last problem exists: The search function. My host mentioned that they
have created an index catalog and I can see a new directory called
'catalog.wci' but there is nothing in it.
Dare not asking for more help but if you know what to do, drop me a note...
Thanks

Looking at http://www.leforum.com.au/Eng/index.html
- you page content is repeating and your shared border (top, left, bottom) are not appearing

For Borders not appearing:
Shared borders and Include Pages are design time tools w/ the content (inside the <BODY> tags) of the Shared Border or Include page
"embedded" or included as html in your pages when you save any of the file(s) using them (or save the borders / include pages
themselves)

FP converts your page(s) to a series of tables to include the Shared borders, (which are really just a special case of Include
pages). But FP can not build those tables if either your shared border page content or main page content has illegal html or broken
tag pairs
- usually due to missing </body></html> tags, or unmatched table / cell tags (unclosed table / cell tags), or some other unclosed
html block element

If you can see them using File Preview in Browser they will publish in as part of your pages

If you can't see them using File Preview in Browser, it's because FP can not build the included content tables, so you need to
validate and correct your broken html

For content repeating:
There are some bugs in the FP2002 SE related to shared borders & include pages
so make sure you (and your host) see & apply all appropriate patches from:

If using FP 2002, For info in Service Pack 1 & 2 for FP2002 / MSO XP - see:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];Q325671

With the live site open, run Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks. If that does work, then check with your
host to see how often your site is set to be indexed.

Also you may find additional help in the Index Server newsgroup.
