Include Page NavBar

[trandel]

Hi,

I am having a weird problem. When I publish a FrontPage 2000 test page to my own XP Pro IIS system with an embedded include page containing a xara menu it works fine. However, when I publish it to my ISP it is badly formatted. The problem seems to be that the code starting "webbot clientside bot ="ws4fpex ........." and ending with "startspan" is missing.

Only the code starting with script src="xaramenu.js .........." etc is there but the endspan code is also missing. This can be seen www.plumbingafrica.co.za/Default.xara1.htm

Any ideas as to how this code just disappears? There are other xara banners and headers on the page that work correctly on both sites.

Hi,

Thanks for telling me - was my face red or what?

It is not .xara1 but _xara1 like www.plumbingafrica.co.za/Default_xara1.htm

hi i dont think its the navbar causing problems as if you remove the navbar the page still does not display correctly

Its a case of going through the html to find where the problem lies. Ill give this a go should i have time this evening but i recommend this is where you begin.

Hi Bb2,

I have checked the html on my own system and it clearly shows the webbot code:

<td width="312"><!--webbot clientside
bot="Ws4FpEx" moduleid="'PTMG (Project)\Top_Nav_Bar_off.xws'" PREVIEW="<img src='images/Top_Nav_Bar.gif?010BBB7D' editor='Webstyle4' border='0'>" startspan --><script src="xaramenu.js"></script><script Webstyle4 src="images/top_nav_bar.js"></script><noscript><img src="images/Top_Nav_Bar.gif?010BBB7D" editor="Webstyle4"></noscript><!--webbot
bot="Ws4FpEx" i-CheckSum="49104" endspan -->
</td>

The same page published on my ISP website shows not webbot code and is:

<td width="312"><script src="xaramenu.js"></script><script Webstyle4 src="images/top_nav_bar.js"></script><noscript><img src="images/Top_Nav_Bar.gif?010BBB7D" editor="Webstyle4"></noscript>
</td>

The live page has also duplicated the second and third rows and this time includes my substitution component. This is placed after the above html.

Strange that it works on my system but not on the actual website. Am still looking ...............

Tony,

how do you upload your files ? Since you mentioned Front Page 2000, I assume you are using the Front Page extentions to publish your pages. (publish or import).
Can't say about the 2000 edition but import works in 2002.

The reason for this question is that i had trouble at first until i found the right way to move the files to the web server. I am runng a windows 2000 network, using FrontPage2002, DreamweaverMX2004 and too much other stuff.

If moveing the files is not the cause, look at the page layout elements. I am going to go look at it now.

I uploaded my pages that I made on frontpage 2002. I experienced the same html code, but I took a risk and deleted the mumbo jumbo such as:

<!--webbot clientside
bot="Ws4FpEx" moduleid="'PTMG (Project)\Top_Nav_Bar_off.xws'" PREVIEW="<img src='images/Top_Nav_Bar.gif?010BBB7D' editor='Webstyle4' border='0'>" startspan --><script src="xaramenu.js"></script><script Webstyle4 src="images/top_nav_bar.js"></script><noscript><img src="images/Top_Nav_Bar.gif?010BBB7D" editor="Webstyle4"></noscript><!--webbot
bot="Ws4FpEx" i-CheckSum="49104" endspan -->
</td>

I worked fine. I had no problems. If you understand basic html you'll know what to delete and what not delete. If you don't know or understand basic html, I suggest you read up on it before you DELETE ANYTHING. The xaramenu.js file is written:

<script src="http://www.yoursite.com/navigation/xaramenu.js</script>

Hi,

I use direct publishing to both my own test IIS system and to the host site.

Hi Stoney]

I dont understand - did you delete the entire webbot code? The problem seems to be that some has been deleted between my system and publishing to the host.

Also do you mean that the reference generated to xaramenu.js should be a fully qualified URL - I thought that as long as it was in the same folder as the page it was OK?
