hyperlink text disappears when editing

[Terri]

Hello. Two of us have recently taken over responsibility for our company
website. The existing site was built using AdobeGoLive. We are going to
support it using Front Page 2003. We've made several successful changes the
past two months.

Just to clarify we are not both on the site at the same time making chances.
The other user has the main responsibility. I back her up and troubleshoot
for her when necessary, but am far from an expert in Front Page 2003.

Recently when we try to change an existing hyperlink to redirect it to a new
target, the text disappears. For example: Click here for our VACATION
specials site. VACATION was a hyperlink to www.oldwebsite.com/ourcompany.
We wanted to redirect the hyperlink to a new site
www.newwebsite.com/ourcompany.

Regardless of whether you right click on the VACATION and then edit the
hyperlink or whether you go into the Code Screen and change the target in
html, the result is the same.

You now see on the Design screen: Click here for our specials site.
The word VACATION that was the hyperlink has now disappeared.

We both have licenses for FrontPage 2003 and it happens to both of us.

I have searched both Office Online and the Microsoft KB without success.

Help would really be appreciated. Our owner is breathing down our necks.

Thank you,
Network Admin Terri

Can you give a URL to the published page, or paste a section of the code
you are using here?

One example is the CHEAP Tickets hyperlink. We tried to change the target
to www.travelgalileo.com/traveline, but the word CHEAP TICKETS disappears.

Another example is on the home page: www.traveline.com. The other user
must have worked on the site last night and got frustrated and changed it to
something else. Under the cell phone graphic on the right side (where it now
reads Continental Airlines) We had text that read RCCL goes wireless and RCCL
was the hyperlink to www.traveline.com/RCCL-wireless-news.html But the
RCCL would disappear. I tried deleting and adding it back into the section
but it would still happen.

One more would be the Free Wedding. We really wanted the hyperlink on the
words Free Wedding (it is currently on the wedding bell graphic) but if again
if you make free wedding a hyperlink to target
http://www.traveline.com/Free wedding.htm The words Free Wedding
disappear.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

To start w/ you have files referencing your hard disc
<script language="JavaScript1.2"
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/GoLive%204.0/Modules/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScriptLib.js"></script>
File Import the script and relink to it (better still scrap the AGL huge js "junk" and use FP behaviors)

That of course causes your AGL script to fail
<td width="1125" height="288" colspan="9" rowspan="1" valign="top" align="left" xpos="0">
<csobj w="856" h="266" t="Component" csref="header.html" occur="0">
<a href="(Empty Reference!)">
<img height="260" width="850" src="images/hdr-index.jpg" border="0" usemap="#hdr-index66359cf9">
<map name="hdr-index66359cf9">
<area href="http://www.travelgalileo.com/traveline " coords="531,141,827,233" shape="rect" alt="Online Booking"></map>
</a>
</csobj></td>

IMHO strip all the AGL junk and use a normal image map
And reset your cells and tables to be more in line w/ your content
- a cell width of 1125 for an image of 850?

I guess I am in over my head, not sure I understand how to do what you are
suggesting. The thing is they worked previously. Not sure why they
stopped.

 

[Grold]

maybe your hyperlinks are just turning white...see if you can highlight them
and then change the font color. It may not stick, you may have to change the
html that says what color your hyperlinks should be...look for it at the
beginning of your html code and with a saved page, try removing it.
best,
Kevin.

This is exactly what the problem was. The style sheet at the top was set to
white because of the text along the side of the site. Since I didn't build
the site, I was unaware of the setting.

Thank you so much!
