Preview errors in FP 2000

[Bob L]

When I preview a page in FP 2005 for a website I'm redoing, I get "This page
contains elements that may need to be saved or published to preview
correctly" displayed above the page. I don't recall this occurring on this
web project before. Is there a way to find out what is causing the problem?
I'm not ready to publish to the host site yet and I want to remove errors
before I do.

It means you need to save the page and then select preview, and / or you are using features that
require FrontPage extensions ( such as a hit counter ) and the site is not on an "extended" server.
When publish to a server with extensions, everything will work.

I saved each page before I previewed them but I still get the error message.
Regarding features requiring FP extensions, I do use the search feature but
it has its own page. The pages where I receive the error don't use special
features (at least I don't think they do).

Hi Bob,

According to your description, I know that when you preview a page in
FrontPage you got a message.

As Steve suggested, some HyperText Markup Language (HTML) elements that you
create in FrontPage can be displayed accurately only when you browse the
page from a Web server. When you preview a page that contains one of these
elements that cannot be displayed accurately in the preview, the message
appears before the preview.

For the detailed information, please reference the following article in
Microsoft Knowledge Base.

I hope the information helps.

If you are using the substitution webbot, you will get that message. I edit
on a server based web ( IIS6, FP2002 extensions, Windows 2003) and pages
using the substitution webbot present the same message - they need to be
published!
