You need to first create a folder (ex. MyWeb, not index.htm), then open
that folder in FP, and let FP make it a web / site, then you either
create all content within this folder from within FP or you import the
content into this folder via FP prior to using it on pages created in
FP.
Once you are done, then you can use FP to publish the site to your web
host or remote server. Use FP's http mode if publishing to a server that
has the FP server extensions, if not then use FP's FTP mode.

Yeah I made them all .rar files and I took the FP supplied item made it
a gif with transparent background (tried to make it look as close to
Vista as possible) now when I go to link the file on the interactive
button it has button text and the next line is link. should the link
be: Programs/Website like it is on my HDD or should it be
http://70.125.78.162:535/index.htm/Programs/Website/ Should I
use / or \ I thought I would simply create a folder (holding place)
for the "raw files" and browse to that folder and select the link
using the link that way letting FP work everything out when I published
the site I assumed it would follow the links and upload all the files.
I was using the layout or structure from
http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/creating-a-frontpage-web.htm
I tend to follow a model like this one step by step. Once I have
(thought) everything was linked I preview and nothing. I look at
reports all gif not linked I relink them nothing.......
How can I tell relative links from absolute links can I turn them off
or on which is best. I have always followed the old MS-DOS style
C:\windows\on and on and on which has worked but I guess not with web
pages
I found the solution to Firefox the people where using an outdated
browser and I had spaces which left 20% mess so Linux had a hard time
as well.
1) Exe files will always throw security errors
- make them all zips
Just create a hyperlink from your gif image to the zip file

I have tried to build a website it looks good and works all but the
links. I was wondering if there is a way to hyperlink to from a
gif to an .exe .zip files because I need the gif to be clicked and
then prompt you to download the file. Not time the page loads
everything just pops up. I also have already designed the page with
gifs I just need to link them. I have also used Frontpg.exe
regedit to make FrontPage and IE7 compatible but links don't work. I
don't want people to have to right click that just takes to
long just click and boom done. I have also gotten over 300 complaints
about Firefox not working is there a plug-in for that? I am
running a XP Home system and have Office 2007 Enterprise Edition
(wonder why FP did not come with it) and FrontPage 2003.My job
switched to Ubuntu so I have to host my own site now since I use FP.
Help!!
