Hi

I've just started using FP 2003 and a visitor to a test
page said they were told they had to download VML in
order for the pages to be viewed properly.

This was a mystery but when I checked the HTML I found
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
had been added above the <head> command.

And this
<style>
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
o\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
..shape { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
</style>
<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>
<xml><o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1027"/>
</xml><![endif]-->
just before the </head> bit....

Am trying to recreate the page in Split view to see if/
when the problem occurs but wonder if anyone has any idea
what might be going on...

I can obviously delete it on a couple of pages but wonder
why it appeared in the first place ....

Any help greatly appreciated

The page is http://portsmouth-dio.org.uk/gtix/

You didn't use FrontPage to get THAT HTML. You used an Office desktop app,
such as Word, and pasted the content into an HTML document. Word is not
designed to be used as an HTML editor, although, to a certain very limited
extent, it can be. However, your best bet is to use FrontPage to create your
content. It IS an HTML editor.

Why they received it depends upon the browser. VML is a new feature for
enabling drawing in web pages and is only supported in the very latest
browser versions. It could be that a user is being asked to download a
viewer just to view this vector image because, even though their browser may
not support it, it may know what to do in order to support it. Basically,
this creates your Growing Together in Christ logo if VML is enabled, or
shows the graphic if it isn't. I would dump all the VML and just use the
graphic instead since it will avoid these problems.

Hope this helps,

VML is a sign that Word Art was used. If you need to have
something fancy, place it into an image

Hi

This sounds likely - another respondent thought I'd
produced the WordArt in Word & imported but I had
actually done it from WordArt in FP which - from the
coding - seems to have dealt with it as something from
Word.

When I've done this in the past I used to do the Word Art
in Word and take it into Image Composer which allowed me
to save it as a jpeg. I'm at the moment working out how
to do this in the Digital Image Suite... hopefully once
I've cracked that this will be a problem of the past!

For now they'll have to have simple text ... it's more
important that it's online and useable than pretty...

Many thanks - Will have great pleasure in saying how
quick a response i got from the newsgroup!

HI

The problem is that I did it all in FrontPage. It looks
as if somehow the Word Art is linked to FP and FP treats
it as a sort if import. I don't understand it really but
what I used to do was do the WordArt in Word and then
take it into Image Composer which let you turn it into a
jpg... haven't worked out how to get Digital Image Suite
to do that yet!

Will just chenge to text for now and work out the
niceties later

Thanks for your response

Hi


yes - seems likely - as I rebuilt the page that's where
the problems seemed to come ... so much code! What you
suggest is what I used to do when FP came with Image
Composer - will have to learn how to do it with Digital
Image Suite which I've got in its place.

Many thanks

Kathryn
 
Sorry, Kathryn. My mistake. I forgot that FP has Word Art in it (probably
WANTED to forget!). Here's a quick and dirty method to change it to a
suitable image:

Create the Word art in FrontPage. Use CTRL|PrintScreen to copy the screen to
the clipboard. Open Paint and paste it in. Trim the garbage from around the
image. Save as a GIF file.

Of course, if you have an image editor as you suggest, it should be even
better.

If you still have the FP98 CD or FP2000 Standalone version, second CD, you can install Image
Composer.

Another option which will get me some grief for suggesting
is to use Publisher. Just do the WordArt in there and save
it as a Web page. publisher will convert the Word Art to a
gif image.

Think I may do that - assumed that Digital Image Suite

Maybe just long acquaintance!
