Has the "banner ad" feature in Frontpage 2000 been removed from F.

[Guest]

Frontpage 2003 seems to have lost the "banner ad" feature that allows one to
display several pictures in a rotation. The help for frontpage 2003 describes
maintaining banner ads, but only if they have already been created in earlier
versions. What happened? Does Frontpage 2003 have the feature under a
different name? As an alternative, I have frontpage 2000 loaded in a seperate
folder. Can I open the site and add the banner ad, then revert back to front
page 2003? I have tried it, but made no changes. Am not at all sure if 2000
and 2003 can co-exist happily at the same time! (That, I realise, is the
bigger question, if possible, using both versions could solve other quirky
issues)

Thank you in advance!

Basically it has be depreciated. Reason: Many users of Windows XP / IE 6 do not have the ability to
run Java applets, so they would just see a empty grey square on the page. Suggest you consider using
JavaScript or Flash to rotate images.

But even though it is deprecated (and not recommended for future use), if you really need it it is still in the tool well - View
Toolbars Customize Commands (drag it from the Insert menu to your tool bar)
