Link Bars won't FTP correctly?
Mood:  not sure
Topic: FrontPage
I added link bars to my site (on a left shared border), as I am adding more pages, and want navigation to be easy for people. For many of the styles that I choose for link bars, I cannot ftp them. I get a message that"

The following pages in your web site contain link bars or navigation bars that use new formatting options. They will not display properly because the server your are publishing to does not support these features.

How can I get link bar styles that will work with angelfire?

Thanks!

It sounds like you may be using FP to build your site. If so, do not upload through FTP. FTP may cause some necessary files used by FP to be missed on uploading. Use FP(FrontPage) to publish but first make sure your AF account is FP enabled. Also make sure you are working from an open FP web. Do not open individual page files on your pc to edit them. Open an FP web first so the file paths to objects used on your site can be correctly written.

Thank you for responding. I am using FrontPage to build my site, and I have been publishing the site using Frontpage for a long time. The FTP part is not the problem. It is the style of the Link bars.

Only if I choose a really plain one, can I get the site to use it.

Any thoughts?

Has anyone seen this problem before, where the link bars do not upload to Angelfire, because of the version of extensions that angefire supports?

I am working with FrontPage 2002.

next thought.... could you possibly be using vml graphics? This is a format that I've seen used in MS generated html before. If so, those are not well supported by browsers other than newer versions of IE. See link above to turn them on or off.

Next question- what are the names of the files you are trying to upload? If images, do they end in an extension like .jpg, .gif, or .png. Those are universal web image formats and the only formats you should be using for images posted to the web.

If all else fails, find your own images to use as link bars and insert them- after importing them into your open FP web first.

I was using Frontpage's theme navigation bars. So the format would be it's. I did do the alternative, as you suggested. I made individual buttons and made them hyperlinks. I guess I will see how they turn out.

Thanks!

adding on what cw said about the names, make sure there are no empty spaces in the files names, like button one.gif it has to be like this button_one.gif

Try this tutorial. It's pretty simple and straight forward and will show you how to make navigational menus in pure CSS.
