I recently bought the MS Frontpage 2003. I took an online internet training that they have in the home page. My question is how to make change to my web site with MS Frontpage 2003.\ I used the Remote Web Site Properties to transfer the files from the remote web site to my local web site. The system transfered the following folders: Auctions, Cgi-Bin, Classifieds, Dirs, Entropybanner, Images and Scgi-bin. Also tranfered the file index.shtml.\ \ When I try to open the index.shtml the only information that appear in the page is this: ( !--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi"--> )\ \ \ Please Hep\ \ Thank You

Edit your .shtml code to read:

instead of

( !--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi"--> )

It's important that the alligator brackets be used and be careful with frontpage, it has a tendency to replace tag opening and closing brackets with < and > respectively.

What's the tree structure of your directories/files? If you're pointing your browser to the right .shtml file, what error message are you getting?

First, make sure that your index.shtml file reads  and that what you typed in your post was just a typo, ie. you're missing the opening alligator bracket: <

Secondly, you really need to make sure that you uploaded your files in ASCII mode as opposed to Binary. I would upload the files using an FTP Program (instead of using Frontpage), and make sure you upload everything in ASCII and then just go back and reupload your image files in Binary form. There should be an option for ASCII or Binary mode in one of your top nav. menus of your FTP Program, just look for it.

Third: Do this ONLY if the first two don't fix your problem: rename all your files with the .cgi file extension to .pl as your hosting server may not support the execution of .cgi files.

Hope this helps!

As a final note: make sure your *.cgi files are pointing to the correct Perl path. My servers for example use this path - #!/usr/bin/perl and your code should reflect whatever your path may be at the top of all your *.cgi files. Check with your hosting provider's admin. or tech. support department to make sure it has the right path.

After step two, also make sure that your file permissions are set to 755. You can do this within the FTP program, you're using by right clicking the file and selecting "Change file permissions or chmod or something to that extent." If your files aren't set to 755, then you'll run into problems with trying to execute them, etc.

Hello,

You're going to want a solid understanding of html and css before you start designing your site. Even with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) html editor such as Frontpage or Dreamweaver, you're going to need to know html. I recommend either purchasing a book on html and css (cascading style sheets) or simply read tutorials on the web. Google html css tutorials and there are tons of sites with examples of code and tutorials to get you ready to design. It's not that hard once you have the knowledge, but you've got to have the drive to want the knowledge, which you're demonstrating now.. so just take another step and good luck! big grin

Hello D

I have taken some course from the internet and have a little knowledge of HTML and CSS, no too much.
I only need to know how to use Front Page 2003 to edite my pages. Where can I find those files. How to import those files from my Web Site Hosting Provider. Thank You again
