Working with FP Offline - 8/29/2001 22:22:00
I recently joined an advertiser that uses a 1 pixel x 1 pixel image to track it's advertisement views. I have no problem with this, a 1x1 image isn't hurting my download time. ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/biggrin.gif") This 1x1 image lies in an outside source from my computer however and so whenever I load a page that contains this 1x1 image, I must click the red stop button on the toolbar to prevent my computer from signing me online. Worse, I have this advertisement at the top of EVERY PAGE! See how this could get to be frustrating! ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/eek.gif") In Internet Explorer, there is an option to "Work Offline" so that things like this won't happen. I was wondering if there was some function like this in FP so that I didn't have to click the red stop button every time I open a page for editing. I also noticed that FP runs VERY slow now and it slows down my computer. This started happening when I put up the advertisement. I don't know if it is coincidental or if it is in fact related to the 1x1 image, but either way, does anyone have an idea of what is happening? And just FYI, this is happening to racquetballx.com and the advertisement is in text at the top of the page. The 1x1 image is directly after the line of text linking to TheSportsAuthority.com, you can also take a look at my source code to confirm this. ------------------

Well, you should be able to eliminate the "race" to stop the computer from dialing by stopping your computer from dialing a connection when there isn't one present. The easiest way is to go into your IE properties (either by right click>properties on the IE icon or Tools>Internet Options). Under the Connections tab, make sure "Never dial a connection" is selected. By doing so, you'll just need a little shortcut to your dial-up networking connection (or whatever else you use) to connect to your ISP.Personally, when setting up a new machine (or install), the first thing I do is tell Windows to never dial a connection. I've always just used a DUN shortcut to connect before trying any net apps. ------------------

FP trys to load the 1x1 image from the Internet everytime I go to edit a page that has this 1x1 image in it. FP continues to try to load this 1x1 image from the Internet until I click on the red stop button on the FP toolbar. Is there some other way to work around this in FP? ------------------

So it's just *trying* to load it, it's not actually dialing? I thought MelissaB had it nailed there. Hmmmm...how 'bout renaming that include page to headspacoff.htm (currently headspac.htm) when you first open up the web. Do all your editing and then remember to rename it back to headspac.htm before publishing? You'll end up with a blank at the top of your pages while editing, but.... Just a thought. Jego

I think that I will use this method! Thanks for the pointer! ------------------
