Hi everybody,
I built my web site by adding pages in navigation view, so that the navigation structure was created by FrontPage 2002. (The site has eleven pages total, with ten sub-pages on the same level directly below the Home page.) Everything worked fine until I made the mistake of asking FrontPage to transfer the navigation buttons from the left shared border to the right side. That is, in a single operation, to close the shared left border on all pages, which contained the navigation Link Bar, and open a new right shared border with navigation on all pages. Well... what happened was, FrontPage successfully completed the operation, but because I am using positioning code on many of my pages, lots of elements immediately got scrambled... And so, rather than reposition everything on every page, I decided to simply revert to having the navigation back on the left side again. Sounded simple enough. (Uh... No... I, uh, hadn't backed up the files first.)
But when I switched back, the Link Bar buttons did not automatically reappear in the left border. I first had to manually reset the Link Bar Properties, which had somehow been lost (settings are: 'Child pages under home', plus 'Additional Pages: Home page') in order to get the Link Bar buttons visible again. Now here's the problem: Although everything again LOOKS normal, when I open any of the sub pages in a browser by using the Link Bar buttons on the Home page, they now open in a new window, instead of simply replacing the content in the Home page window. Once this second window is open, I can navigate normally using its Link Bar to anywhere else - including 'back' to the Home page (although the original Home page still remains open separately in it's own window.) It's as if the Home page has somehow gotten separated, or taken on different properties from the rest of the nav structure.
I've poured over the code, page properties, and other settings on all pages, and tried numerous backtracks and re-dos, but so far have been unable to cure the problem, or even find anything unusual or irregular that would account for this behavior. Does anybody have an idea what might be happening, and even better, how to fix it?
Thanks!
