I am new to building websites and know little about writing code. I have
been using FP 2002 for a little over 1 year now.
Is there an easy way to create and/or automate the page directory that I
see on so many websites: ?

I have searched the net for info on this but requested results don't show
up.
Please advise.
Thanks

What kind of content do you want to appear on the multiple
pages? For example, is it:

o A multi-page site map?
o Product Listings?
o Something else?

In my case I would be looking for {page numbers previous / next }text with
the current page underlined.

This would be to keep the page size down to 35 or 40K. A continuation of a
photo gallery of same topic/theme is my primary interest.
Product offering pages would also be of interest.

For a photo gallery, you would typically write some code that reads
all the file names from some directory on the server, then divides the
number of files by 10 or 20 to get the number of pages. Then, the code
would create a bunch of hyperlinks such as the following.

<a href=picpage.asp?start=1>1</a>
<a href=picpage.asp?start=11>2</a>
<a href=picpage.asp?start=21>3</a>

The code would then use the start= value to pick a starting picture
number.

For product offerings, you typically have a "products" table in some
database, with a record for each product. Then, again, you find the
number of products, divide by the number of products per page, and
generate hyperlinks that contain a starting point.

If you have a database table, the FrontPage Database Results Wizard
can display its contents with paging substantially as you describe.

Thanks for the info.
Sounds like something I'll hire out if I ever get to needing the function.
