Trouble with links in FrontPage 2002.

[G0AOZ]

Have just started with FrontPage 2002. I can upload a single page to the host server, and it displays fine. I have now added further pages but I cannot get the links (buttons) to work. (They all work fine within FP before I upload it). The hosting company makes some mention of FrontPage extensions, which of course cost extra, although they don't specifically say these are needed for links to additional pages. Do I need these "extensions" for the link buttons to work, or am I missing something somewhere?

The FP extensions shouldn't cause any problems with hyperlinks. Check the HTTP code to make sure the links aren't hard coded (linked to directories on your hard drive).

Hi Algraff, yes they do seem to show links to sub-dirs, despite my best efforts to remove the unwanted directory links.

If I drag the appropriate .htm file onto my index.htm page, all is fine, and it works. But I want a button rather than just plain old text on the screen.

I'm using the "rectangle" on the draw menu to create the shape of "button" I want on my index.htm page, then giving it some appropriate colour etc. I then right-click on the newly created box (button), select "Hyperlink" from the menu and double-click the appropriate .htm file. If I revisit this link it has put in the whole sub-dir structure again. If I view the page in HTML I can remove the unwanted sub-dir structure, but saving the file immediately restores the whole wretched structure again.

I just cannot see a way round this one...

Well I've at last got the custom built buttons to work, although it wasn't very obvious what to do - alright if you've done it before but not easy for a first time user!
Thanks again Algraff.
