Cool tips - 3/24/2000 17:26:00
Who's got some tips to share with us on FP?
You know, the ones that you do and think "Wow, excellent, why didnt I do that before?"btw. Using dynamic animation, doesnt count as a cool tip ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/smile.gif") Mines an oldy, but a goody. Changing the default New_Page template:

Spooky, you couldn't have picked a better tip at a better time for me. I am working on a project that I wanted to have in every new page - and now it is set to go. Thanks.I was just reading several articles this morning at MS, now I'll have to back and find one for here. Nancy

Here is my 2 cents worth......I like this way to create a "Save All" in FP 20000 using VBA.

RE: Cool tips - 3/25/2000 19:12:00
Spooky,I have a cool tip for newbies and a shortcut for experts. When working in a table, or within some text, and you come upon a link where you keep entering carriage returns after the link to skip to the next line - sometimes you get the link carrying down the page as you enter the carriage returns. Hmmm...what to do? Well, just click on the HTML view and go to the </a> link closing tag and add after that a <br> tag manually. That solves the problem very quickly and painlessly! What sometimes happens is that the carriage returns that you are entering get placed prior to the </a> tag and push that tag down the page - thus "carrying" the existing link with it. So, the cool tip avoids that problem! Way cool.... ------------------

RE: Cool tips - 3/27/2000 17:08:00
Hi all here's the Easy way to create bookmarks, or named anchors on the same page. Just select the target text you want to make into a bookmark by right-clicking it. Then drag the text to wherever you want the link created. When you release the right mouse button, select Link Here from the pop-up menu. FrontPage will automatically turn your target text into a bookmark and create a link to that bookmark at the location you specified. Second tip....
Don't laugh at this one, but I just found out today that I can use shift/enter instead of insert break. Duh!!

To allow for faster navigation, if you tend to specify directory names rather than pages, make sure you place a "/" after the folder name.
This helps the server recognise that it is actually not a page, but a directory and doesnt require further processing.ie http://www.outfront.net/spooky
Should be http://www.outfront.net/spooky/

RE: Cool tips - 4/1/2000 19:49:00
That one is my bad habit! I know better, but I never seem to add in the last / . Does this really make much difference in the load time? Will not including it cause a problem when submitting URLs to search engines? I almost always remember to include it then, just not when making links. - Linda

Netscape Problems....I recently solved my problems with Netscape. Netscape defaults to zero values for tables even though you specified the width and height. You just need to ensure that you put something in the cell....a space or nancy's tip a transparent GIF....sure helped me out.....

The space doesn't always work. It's better to put in an image, such as the transparent gif. Thomas - how do you make that dot spacer? Linda

Yeah, it actually doubles the load time. If the sever gets a URL like: www.anyname.com is sends a request back to the browser saying "Do you mean, http://www.anyname.com/", the browser says "Yeah, sorry" (Well, maybe not the sorry part ), then the server serves the proper document. As for search engines, the spriders will still find the proper doc., but it just takes longer - load time is a factor in ranking for 'some' search engines, so you could lose a place or two??? ------------------

RE: Cool tips - 4/5/2000 20:35:00
Here's a neat one - When pasting from e.g. Word, FP often keeps the formatting (font, etc). Simply highlight all the text and press Ctrl + Spacebar to remove all the font formatting.Regards

Great, now I can't get anything but runtime errors when I try to use it, and the toolbar is now greyed out. I think this one is going in the toilet.........

I remember when I first figured this out. I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before. It's a great time saver.

I'm not sure if this counts as a tip or not, but I just found this recently, and I like it quite a bit http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/2000/downloadDetails/fphtml.htm?s=/downloadCatalog/dldFrontPage.asp It's an HTML toolbar.. wait <LazyCopyDescription> Microsoft FrontPage® HTML Tools allow you to quickly access and modify Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags directly while you're editing a page in WYSIWYG view (the Normal tab in Page view). Using HTML Tools is like having X-ray vision for your Web pages. </LazyCopyDescription> Kevin http://www.vcconcepts.com
