normal, html, and preview tabs gone??

[Guest]

Hello all -
The strangest thing just happened - when I open my index.htm page I no
longer have the little tabs at the bottom left corner that say "normal",
"html", and "preview. The page opens in HTML and I can't see it in the
other two views at all. The rest of my open pages are fine.....
What did I do?
How do I get those little tabs back?

Thanks!

I've never had this problem, but here's something I would try: In the
folders pane, drage your index page to an empty spot so that you get a copy.
Then open the copy and see whether you get your tabs. If it's okay, then
change the name of the copy to the name of the index, and the copy will
become your new index. I can't guarantee it, but it would be worth a try.

Open the page in notepad and make sure all of the opening and closing tags are in place. FP removes
the other tab, if determine that by open the page in normal view the code would be changed.

I use FP2000 & have discovered that my preview tab has
disappeared - Normal & HTML tabs are ok.
Inside the actual file, I am missing a closing </html>
statement. All other opening & closing tabs appear to be
in place.

Only 5 of the files in my web are affected. The rest open
& preview normally, so I suspect it is because of that
missing tag. I have tried to enter the tag & then saved
the file, but when I open it again, the tag is gone.

If I try to view the file in normal tab, I get dialogue
box saying "this page contains scripting code that could
be changed if you switch to normal view. Are you sure you
want to switch to normal view?"

These five files relate to some link management software
that I use (from http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com)
and the program's code on the server probably completes
the pages to provide this link as the last item on every
page.

Does anyone have any experience of this?
Am I correct in my assessment of why I cannot preview the
page?
Is there are work-around? (I will ask the question on
their forum as well.

Thanks
Michael

I think your assessment may be correct - without seeing the page it is not
easy to tell.

The workaround to try is to surround the entire section of HTML the link
management software uses with a HTMLmarkup webbot. FrontPage will ignore
anything contained by the webbot.

The procedure below is for FP2003, FP2000 is different but starts with the
Insert menu - you should be able to find the sequence for Inserting HTML.

In Normal (Design in FP2003) view, place the curser before the code you want
to hide from FP.
In FP2003, Insert->Web Component->Advanced Controls->HTML

In the dialogue type anything. Click OK.
In HTML (Code in FP2003) view, you will see something like

<p><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->blah blah<!--webbot
bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan --></p>

The "blah blah" is the anything you typed. Delete the "blah blah". (and
possibly the <p> and </p>)
Move <!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan --> to the end of the Link
management mark-up, make sure that whatever FP can see, is valid and
complete code.

[You could save some time and cut and paste the webbot comments code from
this post, but copy to Notepad, then from Notepad to HTML view.]

Add the missing </HTML> tag.

Thanks for that. Late reply I know!

I added the ending </html> tag and had saved the file, but the preview tab
was still missing so by this time I just previewed the page in my browser
each time, no longer needing it.
However, today, for completeness, I started a New page, then copied all the
code from the page with missing preview into the new page and voila`! The
preview tab is there as it should be after saving.

And thanks for the tip about adding the html webbot. That has proved useful
on another page.

Michael, be aware that the preview is not what you or your site's visitors
will see. Use the Preview in Browser. It is a powerful tool, from the
Preview in Browser icon, you can add all of the browsers installed on your
computer, with differing screen resolutions. I suggest, Netscape, Opera, and
most importantly Firefox.
