First things first (a weird question about the true source code)

[Guest]

First about this newsgroup structure: Is it possible to get this small window
of messages larger? It shows only some 10 topics at a time and it takes
plenty of time to scroll down or up in search for other messages. There are
many free message boards that feels and looks better than this.

My question is about the frontpage 2002 web templates. It is my fourth time
I am using Frontpage. Thus I am not an experienced frontpage user. No doubt,
FP is a great tool but little bit difficult to use at first. My problem is as
following:

When I edit the page in Front page the html view looks like this:
<p><!--webbot bot="PurpleText"
preview="Write an introductory paragraph for your home page here. This is
like the front door to your home on the Internet. Invite visitors to step in
and have a look around. " --> </p>
<p> </p>

However, this is not what I am looking for. When I open the same page with
Internet Explorer and take a look at the source I am getting the real html
code:

<p><img src="images/undercon.gif"
alt="[Under Construction]" border="0" width=40 height=38></p>
<p>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
MSFPhover =
(((navigator.appName == "Netscape") &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 3 )) ||
((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4 )));
function MSFPpreload(img)
{
var a=new Image(); a.src=img; return a;
}

That is just what I need. I would like to see the true html code in Front
page and edit directly this code. I have not found any way to view the true
html with java scripts etc.At the bottom of the front page there are Normal,
Html and preview choice buttons but none of these shows the current html page
with java scripts etc.
How can I customize the FrontPage to show the true code?
Should I open the the page first with IE, view the source and then save that
source code into a file and open the new file with front page again?

You can not edit the FP generate webbot code, because it will be overwritten the next time you open
and/or save the page, that is why you do not see it, while in FP.

Use Outlook Express to view this newsgroup instead of the web based interface.

1. Use a newsreader to access the newsgroups instead of the Web
interface. There are instructions for this on the web page.

2. Even if you were to edit FP created scripts FP would just change it
back.
If you want to look at the code for learning, just do as you suggested
and choose View Source in a browser.

In addition to your other answers. To see your html in FrontPage, select Code View in the bottom
right corner of the screen, right above the Task Bar.
