Navigation bar not appearing

I have Front Page 2003 and have had my host put the Front Page Server
Extentions on my website. After three days of trying I still cannot get the
navigation bar to show up on my website, though it shows fine in preview and
design views. When I look in the code view it shows the code but it is grey
and not highlighted.

What am I doing wrong and how can I get my navigation to show up on the
webpages.

Why do you have all the html for the page in white font color listed below
The Big White Square?

How are you Publishing the web/site to the server.
Navigation is visible on some pages, but it's kinda hard to follow the
structure of this site.

Ignore that front page and the white, it was just me fiddling with things to
see how it worked.

The next page, when you click to enter the site.
www.Merfolktails.com/merfolk.html is where my concern starts. I am trying to
do a real navigation bar using Front Page 2003 's web components for the
navigation bar. I am publishing everything to the remote website through the
Front Page 2003 Publishing options as I am supposed to do.

The pages that there is navigation on are the old pages, where I put the
links in by hand. No navigation bar was used for those, therefore I had to
change each page's navigation individually in order to add or delete a link.

I know it is confusing right now but it is in a transition and I am trying
to make it less confusing by adding a real navigation system to it. However,
it is not working as I cannot get it to show up.

The code that Front Page 2003 gives me when I go

Insert >Navigation> LinkBars> Bar with Custom Links

is this:

<p align="center"><!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="sequence"
S-Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page="sid:1001" -->

It appears that Front Page is confusing itself somehow because the code is
grey and inactive. However, in the preview and design views it shows the bar,
graphics and links just fine, but when I publish, they disappear.

Did you create your navigation structure in Navigation? Add the pages there.

Yes, and I quoteth " Insert >Navigation> LinkBars> Bar with Custom Links."
Once done with that I incert the proper links in the box it asks for and then
go to the navigation view to edit them. I do everything it requests and it
shows up and works fine in the preview and design views.. it just will not
work once it is published.

It's like as soon as I publish it it goes *POOF* and plays invisible on the
site though it shows in the preview.

When I look at it in code view the code is grey and states exactly what I
put in my last post.

I am despirate to get the site working properly. I have been without a
proper site for 4 days now, which is causing damage to the potential of
customers.

Please somebody tell me why Front Page is not giving me good codes?

The code on www.Merfolktails.com/merfolk.html is invalid.

<table border="5" cellpadding="0" width="820" height="1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<tr></center><! --webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="sequence"
S-Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page="sid:1001" -->
</center>
<td width="808" bgcolor="#FFFF00" colspan="2" height="21">
<p align="center"><span style="background-color: #FFFF00"><font
size="4" color="#003300"><b>What's
New!</b></font></span></td>
</tr>

would be better as
<table border="5" cellpadding="0" width="820" height="1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<tr>
<td><! --webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="sequence"
S-Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page="sid:1001" -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="808" bgcolor="#FFFF00" colspan="2" height="21">
<p align="center"><span style="background-color: #FFFF00"><font
size="4" color="#003300"><b>What's
New!</b></font></span></td>
</tr>

More importantly, according to the <meta> tag
<meta name="GENERATOR " content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
the page was last edited or published using FrontPage 2000.
FP 2000 does not understand custom link bars.

You have badly mangled html that you have somehow edited
- FP does not generate nav bars in TR tags or illegal tables and you have edited the webbot to add a space
- And your page ends without a </body></html> tag

For Example You have at the top
<table border="5" cellpadding="0" width="820" height="1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<tr></center>
<! --webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="sequence" S-Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page="sid:1001" -->
</center>
<td width="808" bgcolor="#FFFF00" colspan="2" height="21">
<p align="center"><span style="background-color: #FFFF00">
<font size="4" color="#003300"><b>What's New!</b></font></span></td></tr>

And should have something more like
<table border="5" cellpadding="0" width="820" height="1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<tr><td width="808" bgcolor="#FFFF00" colspan="2">
<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="sequence" S-Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page="sid:1001" -->
</td></tr><tr>
<td width="808" bgcolor="#FFFF00" colspan="2" height="21">
<p align="center"><span style="background-color: #FFFF00">
<font size="4" color="#003300"><b>What's New!</b></font></span></td></tr>

And therein lays the problem. I have not changed any of the Html code. This
is what Front Page has generated. I am now using Front Page 2003 after
upgrading a few months ago. I no longer use 2000. I have republished the
pages more times than I can count now and I get the same thing.

The Nav bar is supposed to be between the table and the scroll bar, not in
the table, not at the top of the page.. I insert the nav bar and I get dead
code from Front Page that shows up in my previews but not on the site.

I have deleted them and reinserted them, I am now republishing them as they
are generated without any changing of the code. This is what I get straight
from Front Page 2003:

</div>
<p align="center"><!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="sequence"
S-Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="FALSE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page="sid:1020" -->
</body></html>
