Date Posted: 08 April 2003 at 1:36am

I have created a fronpage 2000 template but when i make a new file out of it. he changes some code. how can i stop this.

----- original code -----
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv
="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>Sjabloon met kinderthema</title>
<!--mstheme--><link rel="stylesheet" href="kids1111.css">
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="kids 1111">
</head>

<body onload="javascript:{if(parent.frames[0]&&parent.frames['menu'].Go)parent.frames['menu'].Go()}">

</body>
</html>
----- end original code -----

and this is what fronpage makes of it

----- changed code -----
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=
"Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name=
"GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name=
"ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>
Nieuwe pagina 1</title>
<meta name=
"Microsoft Theme" content="kids 1111">
</head>

<body onload="javascript:{if(parent.frames[0]&amp;&amp;parent.frames['menu'].Go)parent.frames['menu'].Go()}">

</body>
</html>
----- end changed code

This change is normal: <title>Nieuwe pagina 1</title> because you are makeing a new page of a template and the new doc get a new name.

<!--mstheme--><link rel="stylesheet" href="kids1111.css"> maybe lost because I hasn't acces to the theme. But I don't now for shure

well, frontpage is notorious for screwing up code beyond original recognition...so you kinda get what you ask for!  Try using a cleaner program that doesn't insert it's own tags and reformat existing tags, like Dreamweaver or Notepad.

I Missed that one, make the changes red the next time ( please) I'm not sure but lookt like the bad frontpage behaivor, Try frontpage 2002 shout be better or less bad.  for a plain html editor give http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=1595&PN=1 - html-kit a try.

Personaly I hate FrontPage

I work with Dreamweaver Ultradev, it's better and easier.

If you want to try this program you can download a Trial Version (complete 30 days version) from: http://www.macromedia.com - www.macromedia.com

i know that frontpage sucks, but that's the only web program that we have a license for. besides, it is a scool. the headmaster is going to take over my job when i am going away. and i want to make it as easy as possible for him. and he only knows how to work with frontpage

well, it looks like all it's changing is the javascript in the body tag, so you will have to figure out another way to do the script.  maybe a sever side include?

the problem with this script is that is connect's to a menu page and 2 .js files. in those 2 .js files is checked if the line is on he body tag. if it is NOT in the body tag, the menu stops working

you can put the whole body tag inside a server side include, and i don't think that FrontPage will mess up the <!-- #include --> tag...only problem is you will only be able to test the pages on an asp enabled server.

I use FP2002 (Office xp) and it's very well behaved. In fact, one of the settings in configuring FP is to tell it to leave all code alone.

Once you do that, you had better be correct as it won't change even YOUR bad code. I've not had any problem. For most people, FP is a lot easier to use - there is quite a curve with Dreamweaver (good program, I'm not about to bash it - I have it too, but for managing FP webs on servers with FP extensions, FP is totally faster!)
I never wanted to take the time to make Dreamweaver work on my web. It just seemed to be much more complex having to use FTP, where FP will deal directly with our ISPs servers. I simply start FP, login, grab the file to modify, make the change and hit "save" and I'm done. It's a dream with databases, too. I can open my Access database directly on the server and modify it directly in Access and hit save and I'm done.

Anyway, that's a long-winded answer meaning "upgrade to FP2002, you won't be sorry". It won't change code on you. Dreamweaver has a lot of power and great features, however.
