Need help on re-organizing this website
in [FrontPage]

Prev: Powerpoint sound
Next: FrontPage 2003
From: Tom Miller on 12 Nov 2009 20:30 I have volunteered to try to re-organize the website: http://www.hcci-ks.org before we re-design/re-develop it. It apears to have been last touched with FrontPage 2003. The current maintainer is an Administrative Assistant who understands that she doesn't understand anything. If you import a copy of the website you will discover that it has 1 images sub-directory and a bunch of .htm, .pdf, .doc, .jpg files in the root. If you simply try to move the graphics from the root into the images sub-directory you will discover that you will break things because of duplicate graphics file names. I finally got around that by creating a second images sub-directory named images2. I have now, re-created this website for about the 3rd time on my development machine. I have uploaded my progress todate at: http://bluecollar.chatnfiles.com/projects/hcci-ks-v2/default.htm This is a direct copy that I haven't made any changes to, hosted at the same location: http://bluecollar.chatnfiles.com/projects/hcci-ks-backup/ They both behave the same way but differently from the main website. This host sub-directory does not have FPSE installed. Any ideas why the buttons are not rolling over correctly? Thanks, Tom -- Who me? What signature?

From: Ronx on 13 Nov 2009 02:27 The images used for the rollovers are not on the server - or not where they should be. Example, the Home button (original site) uses buttonA.jpg and buttonB.jpg, both in the http://bluecollar.chatnfiles.com/projects/hcci-ks-v2/images/ folder. ButtonA.jpg is there, buttonB.jpg isn't. The updated site is looking in http://bluecollar.chatnfiles.com/projects/hcci-ks-backup/images but again buttonA.jpg is there, but no buttonB.jpg . Same applies to buttonC.jpg - missing. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

From: Tina Clarke on 13 Nov 2009 08:01 Um if your going to redesign it why bother with the fp hover code? Just get your design done and implement that.. why waste time on fp nav code you know its never going to validate even if it works.??? Just implement some css instead... why not do that?

Now that I have gotten all the way in there, I am asking myself the very same question(s). Basically I wanted to cleanup the website so it would be more maintainable. Then if I were to stop there, at least there would be some improvement for the A.A./Secretary who is their "maintainer." Good intentions never go un-punished. Do they? Thank you for jiggling my elbox. Tom -- Who me? What signature?

Part of the headache on this website is duplicate image names located either in the images folder or in the root of the website. I thought I downloaded a copy of the website and haven't touched it but it sounds like I must have. Tom -- Who me? What signature?
