I use MS FrontPage 2000 for the web sites I create. Yesterday I downloaded several updates from the Windows Update site. Now I can't see the neato page transitions. The pages are saved, everything is refreshed, uploaded, etc. yadda, yadda. And funny thing is everything else is fine! I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the security update for May 24th.

Hope you folks can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Believer

I haven't got a solution for you, I just thought you might like to know that I have the precise same problem - everything else works fine but the transitions just don't work. My server has FP2002 extns loaded and my site has been extended - I also have access to FP2002 Admin site on the server, but none of the controls help fix this problem.

Hopefully, someone else on the forum has been here before and can point us in the right direction.

regards

if your using internet explorer go to
tools/internet options then the advanced tab
under the browsing section about 10 down make sure
"Enable Page Transitions" is ticked.

Thanks aaronjme

That option is already switched on in IE and transitions are not happening. I've a feeling the problem is server-side, but I don't know where to look. I have full access to my windows server via 'remote desktop'.

Any further suggestions would be welcome

Here's what I found in my server's help files - it didn't work for me, but maybe believer would like to try it:-

SYMPTOMS
When you insert a page transition on a page and then preview the page in a Web browser, the page transition is not displayed.

CAUSE
This problem occurs when another Dynamic HTML (DHTML) tag or Script tag is placed before the page transition meta tag within the source code.

NOTE: This problem can occur if you insert a page transition after you have formatted some text with a Dynamic HTML effect.

Here is an example of the HTML showing a dynamic animation tag being placed before the page transition meta tag:

<head>
<script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
</script>
<title>Distributed Systems</title>
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=3.0)">
</head>

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Insert the Page Transition Before All Scripts and DHTML Effects
Apply the page transition before you insert scripts or DHTML effects on the page. This inserts the meta tag for the page transition in the appropriate location.
Method 2: Place the Page Transition Before All Script and DHTML Tags by Altering HTML Source Code
1. In FrontPage, click the HTML tab.
2. Select the page transition meta tag. Your tag will look similar to the following:
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=3.0)">


3. Use the cut and paste operation to place the meta tag before all other meta tags in the source code. Your code should look similar to the following:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=3.0)">
<script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
</script>
<title>Distributed Systems</title>
</head>


4. On the File menu, click Save.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
