NAv bars and Front Page 2003

[Rangellalo]

Dear online friends:

I have searched the posts for a solution to my problem but I have yet to find one, therefore, I come to all of you for help. I pulled Webstyle 4 out of the garbage can and decided to try it again. I have created nav bars, saved it on the local drive, views great. But when I save the site using FrontPage, the navbars are not there. I try to re-insert in live mode but that can't be done, I do it offline and it re-inserts the bars and they look great, again. But I can never get them to show up on my live website (www.edrangel.com). I am assuming that this has something to do with the location of the saved files yet I upload every file but to no avail. Please help me.

Hi Rangellalo,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

The problem appears to be the path to the files created in Webstyle. Your Frontpage html is still looking to your desktop.

         <td height="57" colspan="2" valign="bottom">
 <!--webbot CLIENTSIDE 
bot="Ws4FpEx" MODULEID="'Temporary (Project)\navbar_off.xws'" PREVIEW="&lt;
img src='../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA/GelLook_page1_files/navbar.gif?02E3F07F' editor='Webstyle4' border='0'&gt;" startspan  -->
<script src="xaramenu.js"></script><script Webstyle4 src="../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA/GelLook_page1_files/navbar.js"></script>
<noscript><img src="../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA/GelLook_page1_files/navbar.gif?02E3F07F" editor="Webstyle4"></noscript>
<!--webbot 
bot="Ws4FpEx" endspan  -->

Thanks for the response. Here is a follow-up, it might sound dumb, but I really don;t know. How to I change that path and to what do I change it to?

If the navbar files are in the save folder on your web host as your html files you can remove everything except the filename. If the navbar images and javascript files are in another folder on the server you would use a relative address. For example if the images are in a subfolder named images and is a subfolder of the one your html code in in you could use images\navbar.gif rather than the long path shown in the sample of your web page's source html.

Thank you Soquili.

I indeed have the site stored in an HTML folder on the server. To be sure I understand your suggestion on removing the path please look at the following:

img src='../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA/GelLook_page1_files/navbar.gif?02E3F07F' editor='Webstyle4' border='0'&gt;" startspan -->
<script src="xaramenu.js"></script><script Webstyle4 src="../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA/GelLook_page1_files/navbar.js"></script>
<noscript><img src="../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA/GelLook_page1_files/navbar.gif?02E3F07F" editor="Webstyle4"></noscript>
<!--webbot
bot="Ws4FpEx" endspan -->



I would remove this: ../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA everywhere it appears, right?

I appreciate your help.

Yes that would be right.

If the images are in the same folder with the html files. If the images are in another folder the path to where they are located should replace ../../../../Desktop/WbpageXARA
