using Frontpage on web sites that were not made by FP - 6/6/2001 18:47:00   
A friend wants me to do some html coding on their site on the internet. However this web site was not made with FP. Can I go into their site and make changes thru FP without downloading the web site. If so How! THks

I stand to be corrected on this one but I don't think you can make 'live' changes with FP to a site which is hosted without FP server extensions.

You COULD open the pages in FP - make the changes and save them to your hard drive and would then have to ftp them to your friend's server (ensuring you haven't used FP features that require server extensions.)

Thanks for your response. Which features on FP would you need the server extensions for. If I set up a page with tables and no dynamic features would this be OK?

Tables are fine, DHTML is not (but then it's pretty naf anyway and it's better in javascript), FP Hover buttons are out as are FP hit counters, guest books and feedback forms. That's probably not an exhaustive list - best bet is go to Page Options - compatibility in FP and clear the box that says 'enabled with front page server extensions'. Then anything that needs them in FP is grayed out.
