Hyperlink translation fails on publication

B

Bob Vinson

When I add any type of script to my Frontpage 2002 pages and then publish to
a server the url's for that page remain pointing to the source files on my
workstaton instead of being translated to the server domain. What's going on?

This is normally caused by only having a page opened in FrontPage instead of opening your
web and then FrontPage.

Always open FrontPage then your web and then a page before working with hyperlinks.

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying. My standard practice is to open FP
which normally automatically opens the source web on my workstation. There
may, or may not, be a page consurrently open at the time FP starts up.

If the links on your published pages are pointing to a file location on your hard drive, you
have either:

Browsed to a file location outside of your web to create the link.
or
Linked to an item that is not located inside your web.
or
Browsed to a file using Windows Explorer, right clicked it and selected edit.

Make sure all of your files are located inside your web, and then when creating links, never
go outside of ( or above ) the folder that contains your web files.

Actually all I did was go into script editor for the index page and add the
META tags description and keywords. As a result the include files no longer
appear, the link bar graphic disappeared, the style sheet no longer operates,
and the base href points to my hard disk.

Remove the base href from the page

When I go into Script Editor and delete the base href line the Editor
immediately replaces it on file save.

Running Script editor from w/i FP will always add a base ref tag while it is open
Saving / closing Script Editor will remove it in FP

So to prevent this happening I must save/close the script editor before
publishing?
