Banner is now top.htm

I

Ian Trackman

I'm using FP2002.

I've specified all of my webpages with a custom theme. The banner in the
theme is a gif, which displays properly in the theme editor. It also used
to show in the page editor. But, for no apparent reason, it's recently
being displayed in the page editor (and the preview) as "top.htm". Other
elements (the background and the buttons) are displayed correctly.

I've re-defined the theme, switched themes and I've also tried a FP2002
Detect and Repair and an Office Update, but without success.

Help please.

Ian

if you're saying that the page banner is saying "top.htm" rather than the
page name it's supposed to be. the first thing you should try would be to
switch to navigation view, find the page that's titled "top.htm" and right
click then select/ rename.

The top.htm may not be the problem.

Simply, whatever theme (custom or predefined) I apply to a webpage in the
designer, the banner doesn't display. The navigation buttons do show. The
banner image is in the theme editor.

Also, if I look at the source of the website as published on the Internet
before this problem showed up, after the header there is this :


<body background="_themes/bluechip/background.jpg" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#008000"
alink="#FF0000"><!--msnavigation--><table border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td><!--mstheme--><font face="arial, Arial,
Helvetica">

<p align="center">
<img src="bcblogo.gif" alt="Blue Chip Bridge logo" WIDTH="527"
HEIGHT="192"></p>

<table dir="ltr" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
Click to expand...
width="100%"><tr><!--msnavigation--><td valign="top"><!--mstheme--><font
face="arial, Arial, Helvetica">


which is presumably the theme information. But if I paste that into the
HTML view in FP, then view it, FP removes it.

I also found a note on the MS website about deleting cache limits in the
registry, but I've checked and there aren't entries.

and you're absolutely sure you've got the site defined properly in
"navigation view"?
Is your "online" version of this web still OK and unmolested?
If so you should open your online version with FrontPage click file/ publish
and publish it down to that site's folder on your local computer. overwrite
everything and your theme should be rebuilt by this process.
Let me know.

How are you applying the banner to the page?
Also are you using Shared Borders too?
And...
post the URL.

Chris,

<you should open your online version with FrontPage click file/ publish and
publish it down to that site's folder * on your local computer*. overwrite
everything and your theme should be rebuilt by this process. Let me know. >

Brilliant ! That fixed it. I'm very grateful for your help.

* It mustn't be within the FP folder. I had to save it to a temp folder,
close FP, and paste it in from Explorer.

But strangely, restoring the work files from a local backup didn't do the
fix. Just out of interest, have you any idea what might have gone wrong ?

you lost your theme. ;-)
I'm glad it worked out for you. I remember having these type of problems
till I found a good host. ;-)
