error message

[Guest]

I have updated our webpage and is on a temporary page so that others can view it for any problems. URL: www.shenandoahmedcenter.com/test. One person had a problem opening up the homepage. The links are there but the hexagon shape is not there. When I check on Front Page 2003, it shows this "An error has occurred in the script on this page. Line 85, Char 1, 'wrapdiv 296' is undefined" This is completely foreign to me. Can anyone help? thanks, bj

Your page has a JavaScript error. As you ostensibly created the page, how is
it that you are unaware of the JavaScript in it?

The reason that some people will not see the hexagon shape is that the shape
is done with Vector Graphics, which are not supported in all browsers. Did
you copy and paste from Word, or use Word Art, by any chance?

It is important to net that Word, and other similar Microsoft office
products, which are proprietary in nature, is not an HTML development tool.
While Microsoft has made some mighty efforts at getting the proprietary
documents that these apps create into some palatable HTML format, Microsoft
did not invent, nor does it own the Internet. So, it is simply impossible to
create from some Word documents, the HTML that is needed to duplicate them
on a web page. Again, Microsoft has made might efforts to get as close as
possible, and in some cases has had to make hard choices. For instance, when
you paste Word art or use Word art in a web page, it doesn't create a file.
You can embed graphics in a Word document; you cannot embed them in an HTML
document. So, how do you "paste" a graphic or create one from Word Art? The
answer is a compromise. You CAN create VRML (vector graphics) in SOME
browsers. VRML is a text-based language for rendering graphics. As it is
text, it CAN be embedded in an HTML document. The downside is that some
browsers don't see it.

The moral of the story? Learn something about HTML, the Internet, and
browsers. Use the right tools for the job. If, for example, you want to put
a graphic into your page that can be seen by all browsers, create a file,
import it into your web, and insert it into your page.

But I didn't copy and paste it from Word. I got the shape on the bottom of the Front Page 2003 page. It was available so I did it. I originally developed the page in Publisher, and then linked it to Front Page. But then I had several people ask me why would I do that when I have Front Page. So I tried to make it on FP instead.

And I don't even know what JavaScript is. I taught myself FrontPage with the help of this discussion group. I don't understand HTML. So I simply stay on the "Design" tab

So are you saying the only way to remedy my problem is to delete the hexagon?

I mentioned that you might have got the image from copying and pasting from
Word, OR by using the FrontPage "Word Art" tools (which is what you did).

As to where your JavaScript came from: Only you know how you created the
page. Something you did in the course of creating that page put that
JavaScript there.

Deleting the hexagon will get rid of one problem (the hexagon not showing up
in some browsers). The biggest problem is that you need to learn something
about HTML and related technologies that you are using in order to prevent
such occurrances in the future. Having a great hammer doesn't make one a
carpenter.
