2002 Editor - Inserting Javascript and displaying "J" icon in tables

[Bob Summers]

FrontPage 2002 seems to have lost/dropped the Insert ==> WebComponent ==>
Javascript that used to be in older versions.

I can go into the HTML view and insert scripts (eg, "<script> dosomething()
</script>") but I can't find the way to do it from the "normal" view. Is
there a way to "INSERT" the script from the menus??

Also, in a table cell, if the Javascript code is the ONLY thing in the cell,
the "J" icon is not visible. This is very difficult and dangerous when
editing the file, since you don't know anything is in the cell from the
normal view since it looks "empty". A "<br>" or text in the cell allows the
"J" to display; a simple blank doesn't seem to do it. Does anybody else
have this problem? and a solutions ???

Look under the Insert Menu | Components | Advanced HTML (I think)

I have never seen a insert function for a specific type of script language,
nor seen a J, etc.

Thanks, at least that's a way of having the editor display a "?" icon since
using Component --> HTML adds a "<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->"
around the script
eg,
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->"
<script>contact(murrayk)</script>

I have never seen a insert function for a specific type of script

language,
I think earlier versions of FP had it (but I could be mistaken)

nor seen a J, etc.

Hmmm! I ALWAYS get a "J" icon anytime I use "<script
language="JavaScript">some javascript code</script>". It's just that the
icon disappears within a Table cell unless there is a <br> or something else
in the cell. I'm using FP2002 and see the "J" icon many times (similar to a
JavaApplet -- but I don't use Java Applets).
