Link problem

I have had a web site for over a year. Everything worked great. I had no
trouble changing pages. It's a fram page. It's always been called index.htm.
I wanted to add a aplash page to the site. I created one and named it
index.htm. I renamed the old index.htm page main.htm. I uploaded both pages
to the web host. Now, when I go to my web site, the index page is loaded.
When I click on enter in my index page it picks up the page from my computer
instead of from the web site. What's going on? The page site is:
http://www.freewebs.com/atlanticaudubonsociety/
 
You need to have a web open in FP, then you would rename the original index page to main.htm and
then you would create your new index page and then link it to main.htm. As long as you are not using
themes or FP navigation everything should work correctly, after publish/upload the complete site to
your host.

I'm using the host's file upload to upload my pages to the host. I think
this would be like FTP upload. I don't publish the site. I just upload each
file as I change them. I don't see why this dosen't work. Why dose it take
the pages from my site instead of the host site? I have no way of knowing if
the site is working. It workes good in FP.

The most likely reason that links point back to your HD, is that you create, edited your pages
outside of an FP web. You must open the web first (File Menu | Open Web) before creating or working
on your pages.

If you only upload individual pages, then any pages that need to have the links changed, will not
have been uploaded to the remote server.

Now i'm cofused. I created my new web page in FP in the open web site on my
HD and named it main. I changed the old index page to main. I uploaded both
pages to the host site. I can't see why this dosen't work. I've renamed
other pages and uploaded them and they worked. There's somthing wrong with
this index page. I can't see if this page is working on the web as I can't
get to it. Someone suggested I name the page
atlanticaudubonsociety/index.htm. I did that but it won't work in FP. Why is
this simple process so hard to do?
 
basically because when you use FP and on a site the has FP extensions enabled AND you use Publish (not ftp) Frontpage will track links and rename them appropriately. When you use third party FTP or host upload thingies, FP doesn't know about your changes - you must manually change them. AND third party FTP will usually break the FP extensions IF they're installed.

basically.

This problem is driving me crazy. The site works good on other computers but
not on mine. No matter what I do I can't get the site at the host level. It
seems as if the problem is in main.htm. The index page is giving me trouble.
Thanks for the help. Looks as if I'll have to give up on this page and find
another webmaster for these people. I can't do anything about it and I can't
find any information on it.

I think you may have more than one problem here.
Try to deal with one at a time.

Can you open the online web directly with FP?

No. I can only see my online web in the browser when I go to my web address
unless there is a way I don't know about.

I don't think that freeweb has FP extensions, so you won't be able to open the site live with FP. You'll have to use ftp.

They do have FP extentions if it is requested at an addirtional price. I was
desprate and I sent an e-mail discribing my problem to Freewebs service. I
didn't expect to get an answer. They replyed telling me that it was their
error and it had been corrected. Now, my web site is normal. Thanks for your
help and, now, I can stop pulling out my hair. My two day nightmare is over.

| |
| |
| | | | | Now i'm cofused. I created my new web page in FP in the open web site
on

| | | HD and named it main. I changed the old index page to main. I uploaded

| | | pages to the host site. I can't see why this dosen't work. I've
renamed

| | | this index page. I can't see if this page is working on the web as I
| can't
| | | get to it. Someone suggested I name the page
| | | atlanticaudubonsociety/index.htm. I did that but it won't work in FP.

Glad to hear it's fixed....don't pull out the hair, it seldom grows back, and if it does it's usually the wrong color.


| They do have FP extentions if it is requested at an addirtional price. I was
| desprate and I sent an e-mail discribing my problem to Freewebs service. I
| didn't expect to get an answer. They replyed telling me that it was their
| error and it had been corrected. Now, my web site is normal. Thanks for your
| help and, now, I can stop pulling out my hair. My two day nightmare is over.
