I really broke the navigation this time!

[Guest]

Using FP 2003 to modify an old website I created with FP 2000 years ago. For
2 months all went well. I modified pages, created subsites, etc.
Today I tried to set up FP 2003 on a new laptop running XP Pro + Office
2003. I imported my web site from the desktop - it looks OK - but when I
published it to the web, I find that all the navigation links are missing.
Only the index page shows - and that page is missing all the shared borders
and links.
What am I doing wrong?

Don't Import
- that has broken (removed) your nav view
(you should have published your site in FP to your laptop)

Open your site and recreate you nav view before publishing

Or if you still have it on the original PC open it there and publish it (to fix the online site)
Then open the online site in FP from your laptop and publish it to your laptop

I misspoke. I had opened, not imported. I made the import mistake earlier
and learned from it. And yes, there are backups everywhere. No permanent
harm done.

However, I take seriously your statement that I should be publishing to my
laptop, not the server. I always did that on the desktop, and it was stupid
not to do it here.

The problem turned out to be the extra index.html page on the server. (See
htm vs html post). A little experimentation informed me that my server
doesn't require html, but it will select html over htm as its first choice.

Thank you for setting me on the right path.
