Replacing automated Site Map

[TidalZone]

I would like to replace my current site map with hand edited html code. I
have pasted the code and saved the file.

When I restart Frontpage, the site map page is now blank.

I suspect I incorrectly added a web component that is replacing my edited
html code with the blank page.

How do I remove a web component and/or webbot that is overwriting my hand
coded html page?

You have to display the page in your browser, then do a view source and copy the info into a new
page in html/code view.

Hard to say, since you have given us no information on this "web component"
you say may have been added.

I may have added the Table of Contents webbot incorrectly. I am sorry I left
that out in my original message. I tried to imply that in the Subject Line.

Since my original post, I have rebuilt my index page.

Also, I turned off shared borders.

My hand coded site map html page is no longer being blanked out each time
I exit and then re-open my local web.

I was able to publish my changes to the web with mixed results.

All the index links work locally in FP , but some are not working on the
published web. Some are giving me HTTP 404 errors. These bad links are not
showing up as relative links, but are needlessly appending my local
directory name to the published web site. I don't understand this, since
other working links on the same page were added the same way.

Is there a univeral way for removing webbots?

Any idea of how to prevent my local web directory name from being appended
to the weblinks?

1 - Remove a webbot: Click on the webbot as rendered in Design or
Normal view to highlight it view, and then Delete.

2 - Appending local directory to links - Always open a website in
FrontPage and add links, edits, pages using files in the open web site.
Never use files from outside the website (these should be Imported
first). In addition, I usually save a new page *before* adding anything
to it, so the page is saved in the website and not "hanging around" in
the Temporary files.

give us the url of the page so we can check your code.

There are free sitemappers that can take some of the hard work out of hand
typing the sitemap.
