FrontPage 2002 and 98 Compatibility

Hi all,

I wonder if you can help me.
I have the user who created a page using Front Page 98 with forms and
javascript in it.

When we moved to Win XP, FrontPage is also upgraded to 2002. When she
open the HTML file that she created by FP98 with FP2002, there are two
problems.

1. Form is all messed up in Normal view, but OK on Preview tab and
browser.
2. Gives JavaScript error saying that one of the form element is not
an object. When I see the code, somehow the form is closed as soon as
it is open like this: <form></form> so the elements that are supposed
to be INSIDE of form is not recognized. (ex.
document.form[0].text1.value) If i delete </form> and move it down to
the bottom, it still inserts </form> right after <form>!!!! And
surprisingly this code has no problem when you open it in browser.

The user is not programmer, but FP user, so she will almost never
touch the code.

I've been investigating throught his group, but cannot find the
solution for this.. Can you please please help me????


thank you...

I'm no expert either, but win98 and winXP have different java applications due
to MS losing the battle. I'd say she needs to start from scratch and build
new pages if she isn't going to learn some code. She also needs to make sure
her web space provider supports FP2002.
