When I edit a page in 'Page View' it looks exactly as I
want it. However, when I preview the page parts of it are
missing. Any suggestions please???

NB. I am trying to edit my company website which was
originally created by someone else.
 
Are you using Preview in browser?
Are you working against a web server, as some components/features require
that you view the page via http and not via drive letter?

My car doesn't run, what's wrong with it? ;-)

You haven't given us enough information to go on, Steve. If you can't
provide a public URL for us to look at it, please give some more details.

No I am not using preview in browser, I am using the
preview in page view.
The second question is a bit above me
 
Sorry about that Tom. I was at the "Oh %*&% stage when I
posted the question.

My original intention was to change the picture on our
home page (www.atlanticlaundry.com). I changed that and
published it no problem.

We also used the original picture in the top left of
every other page, so I changed that to a smaller version
of the new picture. That was when my trouble started.

If you open our home page and click on the main image, it
should take you to www.atlanticlaundry.com/company.htm.
(because I changed the hyperlink) Instead it takes you to
www.atlanticlaundry.com/index.htm which has the sidebar
with the navigation buttons and another image missing.

When I look at index.htm in FrontPage under page view,
the sidebar and image are there. When I preview it they
are missing.

Hope you can make sense of that.
 
1. Use Preview in Browser
2. Depending on what features or function are included in your page, you may
not be able to view them unless you are working on a web server directly
from FP and using Preview in Browser or viewing the page directly using a
browser. in both case you have to access the page via http://...

Actually, it takes you to sidebar.htm - change the link to company.htm
which has the sidebar
with the navigation buttons and another image missing.

index.htm is a frames page, with a lot of superfluous framesets, which may
be confusing the browser, and causing the sideFrame and mainFrame frames to
not display.
Removing the extra framesets, and changing the target frames to those that
exist - main, and contents do not exist - will restore index.htm to how it
should be (or my interpretation of how it should be).

Compare:

<frameset rows="169,*" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" >
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="no" noresize src="topbar.htm"
target="mainFrame" >
<frameset cols="132,*" frameborder="NO" framespacing="0">
<frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="no" noresize src="sidebar.htm"
frameborder="NO" target="mainFrame">
<frame name="mainFrame" src="mainbar.htm" target="_self"
scrolling="auto">
</frameset>
</frameset>

with your version.
 
Hi Ron,

Many thanks for your suggestion. I have tried changing
the code as you suggested, but this results in the
sidebar and mainbar disappearing in the page view as well

The code for index.htm in my page reads:

<html>
<head>
<title>ATLANTIC LAUNDRY</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<frameset rows="169,*" frameborder="NO" border="0"
framespacing="0">
<frameset frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"
cols="*">
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize
src="topbar.htm" target="contents" >
</frameset>
<frameset frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"
cols="*">
<frameset frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"
rows="*">
<frameset cols="132,*" frameborder="NO" border="0"
framespacing="0">
<frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize
src="sidebar.htm" bordercolor="#CCCCCC" frameborder="NO"
target="main">
<frame name="mainFrame" src="mainbar.htm"
target="contents">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

I don't really understand the code but perhaps you might
be able to advise me further.

Steve
 
This code is the same as your original. What did you change it to? Did you
try the HTML I used (between the "=====" below)?

And remove all spaces from file/ folder names
(like src="IMAGES/New%20Page(small).jpg)
- illegal html and break links (converts spaces to %20)

Sorry to be a pain Ron, but do I replace my code with the
code that you have suggested?

I have looked at your test, and it only shows wording.
ie. this is sidebar.htm.

Steve
 
See inline below

PS don't forget to change the link on the image in your mainbar.htm

Yes, only the code in index.htm, but check that it works for you before you
go live with it.

Raher than copy your pages (without permission!) I created my own - very
simple, but they illustrate the layout and techniques. You will, of course,
use your own sidebar.htm, mainbar.htm, topbar.htm etc.,
 
Many thanks Ron that really did the trick.

The website is now back up and running normally.

Once again thanks for your time and effort. Perhaps we'll
meet in a virtual pub one day and I'll buy you a pint!!!

Steve Wickes
