FP 2000 - CSS - Run Time Error - Crashing

[lantonel]

Hi,

I'm working on my own webpage with little to no frontpage/ html / css
experience. I'm learning as I go. I actually just discovered css yesterday
and have been researching all day yesterday to learn how to use them.

When I create a new style sheet, if I don't put anything in it and save it,
it saves fine. If I add a style such as .title with font attributes. As
soon as I save it, I either get a runtime error or a crash box that says
"Microsoft FrontPage application file has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Lisa

You have to open the file in Notepad to avoid the crashing.

so i can't use the style options in FP, I have to write the code manually? I
don't know enough about css to write my own code.

is that the only solution?

thanks for your help!

Use Topstyle
(http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/TopStyle/Default.aspx) to edit the
CSS, or upgrade to a newer version of FrontPage or Expression Web.
FrontPage 2000 has a known bug when editing CSS files, which will never
be fixed.
