I've come across a problem in FrontPage 2002 that I
haven't been able to resolve: Styles are not displayed
within FrontPage when linking to a style sheet that uses a
single slash in the relative path. (The pages display
just fine when viewed from the web server.)
Here's an example of the local directory structure for one
of our departments: Department Web Site/academic/hss.
The style sheet is located in the root folder (i.e.
Department Web Site) and the web pages are located in the
hss folder. The site is not configured as a FrontPage
Web.
Example - doesn't work:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style-01.css"
type="text/css">
Example - does work:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../style-01.css"
type="text/css">
Formerly, all of our web pages were coded with ../../ so
we didn't run into this problem. However, when we recoded
certain segments of our web site, we used just the single
slash.
Any clues on how to get FrontPage 2002 to recognize the
style sheet? (Here are the things I tried: Created a
FrontPage Web for this site to see if this would fix the
problem, but no luck. Checked Microsoft's Knowledgebase,
but couldn't find anything there. I do have all of the
latest Windows and Office updates and service packs on my
PC.)
FYI... DreamWeaver MX 2004 didn't have a problem with the
single slash as long as a site was defined. I did find a
way to get this site to work in FrontPage 2003. (For some
reason, you have to establish a link to the style sheet in
2003; it doesn't seem to be able to find the style sheet
based upon the code. To establish the link, you have to
choose Format/Style Sheet Links from the menu. Then click
the Add button and use the Browse button to select the
style sheet. Click OK. Finally, click the option for All
Pages.) Although I can get this to work in FP 2003, I
would like to find a solution for FP 2002 if at all
possible (in case someone prefers not to upgrade).
Thanks.
