frontpage help please - 12/15/2008 13:21:40
As a newbie to web layout I purchased a template but above all else what is giving me the most trouble to fix is the template sizing. It is a dwt with flash, buttons, scrolling etc but when ever I add text to a page it seems to be doing its own thing and the page sizes alter in width. Even deleting text does not make the template return to its original size. Has anyone any suggestions please. Thanks...

Without seeing the actual template, this seems to be an unusual situation calling for a fixed-width table. Start with 800 pixels (and this depends on the space needing text), and experiment from that point on.
Welcome to OutFront!

Thank you for trying to help and thank you for the welcome. If you would be kind enough to have a look at WWW.Voyagerspoland.info and click the very top left hand button - Wroclaw - notice the width across your screen - then click another button say Leszno next to it and you should notice a different width.
Trouble is I have made such a hash of the widths in Frontpage (I think by doing a copy & past to enter text)
that I can now not upload improved pages.
Now all my widths are assorted sizes and even deleting text does not put them back to a standard size.
Thanks very much

Hopefully you kept a copy of the original template and Voyagerspoland.info represents a work in progress. If so, start over with a copy of the original.
As to your "copy and paste" statement, make sure you are using text processed through a text editor such as NoteTab not MS Word or similar program.

The flash logo for Wroclaw is not the same as the rest of the pages.
Wroclaw flash logo has a bigger width, 442 while the rest is 380.

Thank you both for the help. I have been using a writing prgramme (open office) rather than a text editor - has this caused the problem.
I have the master template but unfortunately I will have to re-do the buttons etc...
I changed the flash logo width to the same as the other pages but it did not make a difference.
In my frontpage the widths vary greatly (in non technical terms - move the bottom scroll bar about 4") so is the best advice to start over and use a text editor like notepad.
Thanks again

I have not been very clear on this. What I wanted to say is that the rest of pages look consistent except Wroclaw, so I presume the problem is in Wroclaw. Currently Wroclaw doesn't have the "VOYAGERS" flash banner/logo.
If you put the following code into Wroclaw, you might solve your problem. These codes are found in the rest of the pages whereas Wroclaw has only obj3.
<td>
<div id="obj2">
<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("flash/logo/website-name.swf", "obj2", "380", "92", "6");
fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
fo.write("obj2");
</script>
</div></td>
<td align="right">
<div id="obj3">
<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("flash/flash-images/template-images.swf", "obj3", "442", "92", "6");
fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
fo.write("obj3");
</script>
</div></td>

Adding the code did not change anything.
Where did you add them in Wroclaw.htm? If you had added them correctly, the "VOYAGERS" flash logo should show up. At the time I am writing this, it isn't there.
I view your pages at http://www.voyagerspoland.info with IE and all of them are ok except Wroclaw.htm is different from the rest in terms of page width. Wroclaw.htm is shorter. This is because it has only one flash logo aligned to the top right. The rest has TWO, one the "VOYAGER" aligned to the top left and the other the rotating images flash object on the top right. These TWO flash object forces the tabe width to be wider for all pages except Wroclaw.htm

Thank you all for the help. One of the reasons for my troubles has been using open office rather than notepad for the text. Have now used fresh templates so will have to transfer from open office to notepad to frontpage new text.
Also I have had some mystery error messages and thought - I am using vista - vista & frontpage may not be happy together
