Cannot get Navigation Bar external hyperlink to work.

D

dj.henri

I have tried dozens and dozens of times to get a Navigation Bar external
hyperlink to work. I follow the instructions precisely. It looks absolutely
perfect in Navigation view. However, when I hit the Preview tab, when I
Preview in Browser, or when I upload the webpage and border, all I get is a
blank screen.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing one tiny keystroke? Help!

You're using Java hover buttons, so most people will not see them unless
they download Java Virtual Machine from Sun and install it...no one's gonna
do that so you need to replace all your java buttons with something else.

As far as the ExHyp.htm goes the link works but it IS a blank page (nothing
between the body tags).

Also avoid the use of capitalization and spaces in file and folder names or
you may run into more problems down the road.

So, which is the external link? There are none on that nav. bar.
The ExHyp button opens a page with left and top borders, but no content.
If this is the fault, then it has nothing to do with external links in
navigation bars - the page opens, and is an internal link.
Please give a link to a page with the faulty external link.

Per FrontPage Help, in Navigation view, I connected an external hyperlink to
http://www.microsoft.com. However, in Page view, indeed it is a blank page.
How do I make sure the external hyperlink created in Navigation view gets
into Page view, and then onto my website?

There is no link on the navigation bar that goes to microsoft.com, or
any that resembles such a link.

Describe ALL the steps you took in a reply to this post. ("Follow the
instructions" is NOT a description.)

The external page will not get into page view - it is EXTERNAL. It will
never get into your web site. Page view only shows pages that are IN
your web site.

I just now created this script:

<body bgcolor="#000000">

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<table>

<td width="69%">
<IFRAME SRC="
http://www.microsoft.com";hide=BW&rows=10&time=-mm:ss"
name="LivePlaylist" scrolling="Yes" noresize frameborder="Yes"
marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" width=850 height=550><</IFRAME>
</td>




<!--msnavigation--></td></tr><!--msnavigation--></table> </body>

This is beginning to work. Any changes?

This is an Iframe, not an external link on a Nav bar.

The code should be:
<body bgcolor="#000000">

<p>&nbsp; </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<IFRAME SRC="
http://www.microsoft.com" name="LivePlaylist" scrolling="Yes" noresize
frameborder="Yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="850"
height="550">Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently
configured not to display inline frames.</IFRAME>

</body>

However, whether the page will display or not depends on whatever
anti-framing scripts the page has.
