Publisher Website

[Jane]

I have designed my website using Publisher and have uploaded it - but am only
getting a blank page on the internet - what have I done wrong?

What's the URL?
What's the Publisher version?

Hi
Thanks for replying
I am using Publisher 2002 and my URL address is
http://www.chinchilla-supplies.co.uk
Afraid I am a complete novice at this and have spent all week trying to sort
it out
Thanks for your help

go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-6F69-4289-8BD1-EB966BCDFB5E&displaylang=en
and install Service Pack 3.
Delete the site files currently on the server.
Open the pub file (SP3 installed) and resave and republish (File, Export) to
the server.
Be sure to publish it as index.htm
If still having an issue post back with your browser version.

I did view the site just fine earlier. And I still do, which in looking at
it again after my reply I still see the same code meaning you aren't loading
Service Pack code or you are not using "File, Export" as I stated earlier.
The code I am seeing is the original release XML style code. Which I suspect
is your issue either because your browser doesn't like it or you aren't
waiting long enough for the page to load. Had you followed the earlier
instructions I would see different code in the page source.
Btw I did not ask what browser target you had set - I asked what browser you
are using. Likely you didn't check the site in other browsers. My crystal
ball thinks you might be using Netscape or AOL.
Please follow my previous instructions:and then test again.

Browser target - Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later
Options - Rely on CSS for font formatting is ticked

Thanks again for your help

Hi David

Thank you so much - site is now up and running - only one little adjustment
needed.
At least I shall be able to sleep tonight.
