I'm an Idiot with Mouse Overs

F

Fred Frunkle

I have loaded some mouse over DHTML effects on my Frontpage 2000 site that work fine when I preview them. But once I save the page, close it, and reopen it they do not work(unless my index.html file is open). The code is there, they just don't work.

I've spent hours, days and months trying to figure this out. I'm an idiot. Please help.

Hi Fred,

Your description of the problem is somewhat confusing. First, you stated
that you can preview your page and see the JavaScript onmouseover event
handlers working. Do you mean by this that you can see them in the FrontPage
Preview tab, in the FrontPage Design view, or that when you use File|Preview
in Browser that you can see them? Again, you said that once you save the
page, close it, and then re-open it they do not work. Open it with what?
FrontPage? Your browser? What? And again, you said that they do not work
"unless my index.html file is open" - Open in what? How, for example, could
you view 2 pages in the same browser instance?

It is important to provide as much detail as possible in order to diagnose
your problem. If you can answer the above questions, we can answer your
question.

Is the site published??
Can you provide a URL??

I'm guessing that the pages that don't work
are located in a different folder than the index.html page,
and the links in the other pages need to be adjusted /
edited so they point to the correct location.
FrontPage does not automatically update links
contained in scripts.

you also might need to put in the path to the external javascript file that makes
the rollovers work.
such as in the code find the line that references "animate.js" (the rollover
script)

You need to make sure the path pointing to the "animate.js" file is correct.

such as <script language="javascript" src="../folder/folder/file.js">
