Frontpage Tages

[Guest]

I want to use a template for my website but I don't want the tags to be seen.
I use the 2003 version of frontpage and the tags i mean are <meta
name="Microsoft Theme" content="tech-blue 011, default"> how can I hide them
from people looking at my source code?

 

[Steve H]

You can't. Don't put on the web what you don't want others
to see. It's all very public.

 

[Jim Buyens]

There's nothing you can do that keeps Web visitors from
looking at your HTML. Once you've sent it to their
comptuer, they can find a way to look at it.

If you're ashamed to be caught using a FrontPage Theme,
use a linked sytle sheet instead.

The meta tag is require by FP in order to know what theme and option apply to the page. Since you
are using FP2003, and if you are not publishing to FP enabled server, you can have FP remove all of
those tags during publishing, however you will no longer be able to edit the site in FP easily.

Aren't themes exactly that - style sheets? (excuse my ignorance - I don't use
themes at all).

 

[Murray]

Aren't themes exactly that - style sheets?

No. As far as I know, a theme may in fact contain NO CSS at all.

 

[Jim Buyens]

Well, yeah, but this designer was concerned about people on the
Internet viewing his souce code and discovering the tag:

<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="tech-blue 011, default">

Now, frankly, I don't see what's wrong with people seeing that, but I
guessed that perhaps the designer was concerned that someone would
find out he'd used a predesigned Theme rather than something he
developed himself.

Actually, FrontPage 2003 (and optionally FrontPage 2002) implements
uses CSS to implement its Themes.

Themes are stylesheets?

Yes, primarily.

All the text colors, background colors, hyperlink effects, and so
forth come from a linked CSS stylesheet. When you change from one
Theme to another, FrontPage substitutes a different stylesheet file
with all the same selector names.

The graphic button faces, of course, are still separate files.
