Can't publish web....grrr...

[Red96TA]

I set up a free Angelfire account to do a trial run of my website, but every time I try to publish via Frontpage's ftp publish feature. Each time I try to publish, I get this error: "dynamic Frontpage components such as search form or Frontpage form handler. They could not be displayed because the server does not have the Frontpage extensions."

I've double and trple-checked everything...it doesn't appear to be anything wrong on my side. Could it just be Agelfire's craptastic free service?

Can anybody recommend a free service to trial run my site?

as always, thanks a million...

i know that tripod.com supports front page server extensions.

I have a website on there that uses front page hit counters.


My other server at sslcatacomb supports ffrontpage but it's a pay server.

I went to tripod and apparently its the same site as Angelfire

yeah angelfire doesnt support frontpage. just upload your files manually and then edit the html links.

[Red96TA]

It's starting to bug me now...the faq says that they support FP2k2.

Sitlet, what am I supposed to edit? The code I have is fine (I think):

src="intro_cover.jpg" width="290" height="194"></p>
<p align="center"><font

That's what I'm using for one of the pics on the first page.

Rookie...good links, but I'm not selling porn

src="intro_cover.jpg" width="290" height="194"></p>

you need to specify exactly where the image is. 1st, upload the intro_cover.jpg to your site using the uploader on angelfire. be sure it is in the root directory. then the code should read:

src="http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/airbrushdvd/intro_cover.jpg" ......

do this same thing for all your pics

I even have to do this

1st, upload the intro_cover.jpg to your site using the uploader on angelfire. be sure it is in the root directory. then the code should read:

src="http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/airbrushdvd/intro_cover.jpg" ......

do this same thing for all your pics

for Tripod even with the FrontPage extensions to get my form confirmation pages to work, and I might need to do the same for some of my JavaScript images. It's just one of the little problems with FP and Microsoft.

I went to tripod and apparently its the same site as Angelfire

Angelfire=Lycos=tripod.

This isn't entirely true. I am using Tripod for my FrontPage site. The difference between Angelfire and Tripod is that Tripod supports FrontPage components...you have to go into your account settings and enable FrontPage extensions for this to work, I think the default setting is for the extensions to be turned off. Once they are enabled, in FrontPage you can select "File, Publish Web...," and type the following: http://frontpage.tripod.com/(username)/ and it will publish without a prob (except for forms and a few other glitches).

[Red96TA]

I changed my html to:

</p>


But the pics still didn't show up...

[mec_modifier]

I double checked your HTML in FrontPage...replace your Image source line with this:



You don't really need the closing statement (</p>) for the image to show up, I think that is what was messing you up. If you are using FrontPage, there is an easy way to double check your HTML for a picture. Make a blank new page, click on Insert...Picture> From File. Type in the location of your image (http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/airbrushdvd/intro_cover.jpg) in the URL field, and click okay. You can then switch to the HTML view, and double check the picture information.

[Red96TA]

mec_modifier...I changed my text as you said and the pic still didn't show up...ironically, the counter did... FWIW, are you using FP2000? I have FP2002 and the window you have open isn't in my version...at least not like yours.



This is turning into a PITA!

Any other clues?

[mec_modifier]

Hmm...I have no other ideas. Well, at least we know that the picture is on the server. Other than that, I'm stumped.

[Rookie64]

Give it a try on this one -

Some advice: You shouldn't use html to resize an image.

[Conquest10]

Post your complete code. There has to be something else that is messing it up.

[Red96TA]

Here's the complete code for the page...what I don't understand is that the company logo show fine and it's the same format as the pictures that don't show...does the server have a limit on the file size of the pics? The logo is ~16k, but the other pics are 70k+...I'll try to resize and see if that works. Until then, here's the code:

for it to dawn on me that I had the same talent that a lot of the folks in the
magazine had. What's more was that I knew a little something about video
editing as well. As a result, I started putting together a line of
instructional airbrush videos that not only contained the most up-to-date
information available, but I also had the knowledge to get the information out
to the public in DVD format...something NOBODY is doing at the time.</font></p>

bump...

anybody see a problem with the code?

[Conquest10]

The code you posted has nothing wrong with it as far as I can see (I haven't really looked carefully at it, though). The code on you site is different. The first image is named intro_cover.jpg and you have it correct on the code that you posted. However, the code on your site points to a file named: intro%20cover.jpg. That file doesn't exist, so it doesn't show up.

Yea...that's where the problem is

You can't name any files with a "_" in the name - Angelfire doesn't support those characters.


Rename intro_cover.jpg to something else like, introcover.jpg

[Red96TA]

OMG it worked!!!

Take a look at the site and let me know if you like it...

Thanks again guys...you're the reason I come here

[lordsmurf]

Don't like it. Test fonts bad, tables change from page to page. It's stuck at 1024x768 (will not resize at all). Header and footer change page to page. Top of page header looks like it's not working right (1-2 inch drop?).

Good start. You're making progress.

Check out some of the template here:
http://allwebcodesign.com/setup/templates.htm

Just give them a look, maybe give you ideas on how to improve.
Found these today myself, gave me a few good ideas.
