HELP WITH HYPERLINKS

G

Guest

Running: Frontpage 2003

I've set up a bunch of hyperlinks on my website and now when I go to edit
the hyperlinks or create new hyperlinks I experience this problem...

Log onto webpage > Create Hyperlink >

When the "Insert Hyperlink" box appears none of my 12 (or 13) webpages
appear for me to link to. The only things that appear in the box is the page
that I currently have open. All of the settings for the "Insert Hyperlink"
box are corrent as far as I know...on the left side of the box under the
"Link to:" section I have selected "Existing File or Web Page" and under the
"Look in:" section I have "Current Folder" selected.

If I open all the pages I will be able to view them in the list because they
all read "(open)" after the webpage name but none of the pages that aren't
open appear.

Someone help me to make these unopened pages appear please!!!

My information systems teacher in college doesn't even know what to do.

Did you create a Front Page web when you first started to
work on this site (I suspect not)? Did you just jump in
and start to create web pages (I suspect you did)?

A way to test my theory is to open several of your
current web pages in the manner in which you have been
operating. Now look on the task bar at the bottom of your
Windows screen. Do multiple copies of Front Page appear
as being open? If so, each copy of Front Page contains
one web page which is totally unrelated (Front Page wise)
to the other page(s).

You must create a Front Page web (File | New page or web
| Web) as your first step in developing a website. Once
you do this all of the pages you create and content that
goes onto those pages (eg, graphics) are contained within
your disk based site. When it comes time to publish (see
Front Page help) your site to your host, Front Page will
do all of the proper things to make sure that your entire
site is copied (ie, published in Front Page terms) to
your host.

When developing your webpages and hyperlinks within a
Front Page web, when you Insert | Hyperlink you will be
presented with a listing of your open web pages. You may
also navigate the directory structure from this dialog
box to select other hyperlink targets.

Another suggestion: see if you can transfer into another
information systems class. I would expect your teacher to
be able to answer this question. You are not getting your
money's worth from this one.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.
