A FrontPage Warning!

K

Kevin Spencer

Sadly, I LIKE Front Page. I've used it for all of my simple websites for
years. (You would think that Micro$oft would have gotten it right by
now.) However, if you plan to build anything bigger than a few pages, I'd
strongly advise a different tool.

Let's see, now. You are having problems with your web design, and blaming
your tools for it. You don't personally accept ANY blame for your problems,
but from your message, you do have some. For example:
then decided to rename some of the pages that had blanks in them, so they
wouldn't show up as "%20".

If you knew what you were doing, you would never have named web files with
spaces in them. Spaces are illegal URL characters.
Then, when I tried to build the project, I got the following error:

FrontPage is not Visual Studio. HTML is not programming code. There is no
"building" to be done. Obviously, you don't know much about webs and web
toolkits.

It's easy and takes no character to pick on "Micro$oft." All kinds of people
do it. After all, Micro$oft is a big, evil corporation. But let's look back
30 years. 30 years ago, Micro$oft was a handful of people struggling to make
it in the world of programming. Somehow they managed to make it big. I
suppose that's some sort of crime?

Well, Bill Gates is now the richest man in the world. And you can't build a
web site. But it's his fault, right?

He doesnt have extensions on that web.


| When you renamed your files (to eliminate the spaces), did you do so within
| Frontpage, or by using Windows Explorer, etc.? If you made the name changes
| outside of Frontpage, that might account for some of the problems you had.
|
| Are Frontpage Extensions installed on your web server? Are they current?
