TAKING A SITE MADE WITH DREAMWEAVER TO FRONT PAGE 2003

[Guest]

Hello, looking for help on this. i just received our company webpage that i have been assigned to do some minor updates to. It was created on dreamweaver but i have front page 2003. (which i love) anyway, i am having so much trouble importing the file over to frontpage. i was told it could be done. but i am having so much trouble.

can anyone offer any help or suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Do you have the Dreamweaver site on your hard drive? If you do then you
should have no problem. Define your FP site to point to a new folder on
your drive, and then use FILE | Import > From Site > File System, browse to
the DW site's root, select everything, and import it.

What problems are you having?

If you have the site on your HD, then just open the folder directly in FP, letting FP make it a web.
Avoid using the Import function!

ETC,

You have been participating in this newsgroup long enough to know why it is not a good idea to use
the Import function!

The main reason that it can only import the content that would be seen in a browser, which exclude
any server-side scripting, Included page content, and if it is a FP web, then you lose the web
structure, navigation structure, and themes structure, etc. It is exactly the same content you would
get when you use the Save As function in IE to save a web page to your HD.

Yes, of course I know why NOT to use it. I asked why it is still there. I
feel the same way about Absolute Positioning ... if it is not recommend, why
is it there??? .... so many problems are caused by folks using AP and then
wondering why their pages look so goofy in some browsers.

Thomas:

Thanks - I was sure that was there somewhere, but wasn't sure where.

Thomas:

So - importing a site containing ASP pages will only import the HTML
content? In other words, Import uses an http-type protocol to get the
pages? Even when they are on the same file system?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

It is there because there may be a time where you have no choice but to use it.

Murray,

Correct if importing from a web site via http, if a local folder via a drive letter then FP
basically uses the FP import or slightly modified function.

import is for importing indivual files such as imagesm, to a Frontpage web, not
for importing entire sites.

Andrew,

There are two type of FP imports, the File Import and Web Wizard Import.
