Downloading a non frontpage site with frames.

[Guest]

Hello, sorry I broke the previous post I had relating to this but I think I figured out my problem and realized I needed to re ask question. What would be the best way to download a website from the web with frames that was not created in Frontpage and the server has no FP extensions. When downloading pages with frames can frontpage recreate them correctly or is there an easy way to fix the site if they don't appeat right. The page in question is www.metrosouthselect.com

Open the site on the server with a FTP application, then download the complete site to a folder on
your HD, then open that folder in FP.

framesets don't require the extensions, they are standard features of html.

you should be able to download the site witout problems, you just need to know
the 'frameset' page and the pages that make up the content in each frame. (e.g.
top.htm, menu.htm, main.htm etc).

If you mean the frames are visible - there are ways to turn them off, if you mean
scroll bars, you can turn those off too (but these particular attributes only
work in I.E. I think or possibly newer or newest versions of netscape.

Is this a site you will be continuing to edit and maintain ? you should be able
to connect to the server and do a publish to your machine, open in frontpage and
everything should be fine, or may require a bit of fine tuning, but otherwise
frontpage's code is just standard HTML with a bit of its own stuff thrown in.
