Front Page 2003 sites

I progressed from Seri 9 to FP 2003 earlier this year, but I
now want to develop more HTML skills etc, plus my ISP's Linix
server won't accept FP generated forms, so I have moved to DW8.
Question is, can I easily convert existing FP2003 pages into
DW8 ones?

Most of the page code will be easily converted. What you have
to watch for
are items such as Themes, borders and navigation elements
that utilise
Frontpage extensions will need to be recreated. Also you will
have to have a
script to handle your form.

How can I get Firefox to use Front Page 2003 as an editor for my website?

I have a website called www.gethsemanechurch.net. I use Front Page 2003 to update and maintain the site. Currently this was all being done using IE. However, my IE is now updated to IE10 and I am having problems with IE10. I figured I would try to use Firefox at this time.
My OS is Win 7 and I am on a desktop.

How do you use FrontPage now: do you edit your web locally and then upload it? Or do you edit the pages "live" on the site? Whichever browser you use, your workflow does not need to change. The main difference would be when you preview local files: FrontPage is likely to launch the local pages in your default browser.
With respect to editing ''inside'' Firefox, you can switch your source code viewer from the built-in window to an external program such as FrontPage. However, the file that opens in FrontPage in that scenario will be a local copy in a temp folder, it won't be your live website. For best results, I suggest continuing to do your edits directly in FrontPage.
Also... if you find that FrontPage is not creating pages compatible with Firefox, you may be able to adjust the settings, or you have the option to change to a completely different editor. One free one I've seen suggested is [http://www.bluegriffon.org/ BlueGriffon].

Compatibility of Microsoft Front page 2003 files with Adobe Dreamweaver 8

Compatibility of MS Front page files with Adobe Dreamweaver 8
We have developed quite few HTML and Gef files in Front Page
and wondering how much work is involved if we want to use
dreamweaver now.
This will be great if you could sned us a document about the
compatibility of Microsoft Front Page with Adobe Dreamweaver 8.
We appreciate your immediate reply.
Thanks

Sure there was. It was central to all of FP's enhanced
capabilities.

It's much more than not being editable. They will be broken
if you FTP
files to the FP site.

Technically correct, but woefully understated.

about those,

1. I'd define a Dreamweaver site that points to a location on
your hard
drive for the local site's root, and to the current FP site
on the web as
the remote site
2. I'd use Dreamweaver (if your host supports FTP
connections) to download
the remote site to the root of the site you just defined on
the hard drive.
This will pick up all the pages *after* webbot action so that
shared borders
and all are already present in the page HTML. This will also
pick up all of
the server scripting. Note - in the event that you are not
able to connect
using FTP since some FP hosts block that protocol, you will
have to use a
third party 'site copier' like Black Widow, QuadSucker, or
WebCopier, (or
even the DW extension called SiteAssist from WebAssist) to
connect and
download using http protocols. Doing it this way will *not*
retrieve any of
your server-script code, if any (unless you have used the
WebAssist
extension).
3. I'd create a DW template for the pages, that captures the
"shared
border"
effect you had in FP.
4. I'd copy and paste content from each FP pages to a new
template child
page and then save the new child page with an easily
identifiable
nomenclature that is distinct from what was used on the FP
site (since you
are saving the new child pages into the same local site as
the FP pages).
5. When the basic site is completed, I'd upload the new DW
pages to some
staging area/webspace, and by using the browser, I'd verify
that the site
(as it now exists remotely) is complete.
6. Then I'd create a *new* DW site in a new location on the
hard drive, and
connect to and download all the files from the staging site.
7. You can now delete the original FP site from your local
system if you
want.
You now have a complete site (minus any of the FP extension
server-side
code) that has no FP footprint.
If you have used any FP server extension functions on the
original FP site
(form processing, guestbooks, tables of contents, etc.), you
will have to
recreate those functions in DW using 3rd party scripts, or
scripts that you
write yourself.

Convert Front Page 2003 to Dreamweaver 8

I've done my best to go through the help pages and forums and
only have found import and conversion "extensions" for Dreamweaver

8. My Front Page site is not to complicated. Just a lot of basic
content with FP shared borders and links:

I have the site on my Mac Book Pro with DW8 on OSX. Please

to import & convert this without starting from scratch.
Much appreciated,

Can a web site created in Front Page be imported into iWeb?

Our company's current web site was created in Front Page, and needs updating. I would like to try doing this in iWeb. Is this possible? I haven't had any luck searching for answers. Thanks.

iWeb cannot import or edit html. You will have to recreate the site in iWeb.

Can iWeb make changes (update) to Web site made with Microsoft Front Page

Hello,
Our local historical society hired a web master to create a web site for us. He made it with Microsoft Front Page. I was able to make changes until my husband upgraded to Microsoft Office integral 2007. My question is: Would I be able to continue making changes or upgrades to this site but using iWeb '08 instead? I would much rather use my Mac than his IBM.
Thanks,
S Craig

No. iWeb can only create and edit sites that have been created from scratch in iWeb. What you might be able to do is download the files in the current site and use the image and graphic files to make a duplicate site in iWeb.

Dreamweaver CS6 edits to old Front Page site display in preview browser but NOT on live server site.

Are you sure you are uploading the pages to the correct location?
Could you post a screen capture of your expanded files window, showing the remote server and local file structures?
I'm guessing they're not identical and that you may be uploading to a redundant root folder.

We have IIS for applications Development with VS 2008.
I have added a the HowToScheduleCustom_VB to the IIS.
When I Open the Web Site is VS 2008 I get an error Front Page Extensions Required.
Are the Front Page Estensions required.?
Or should we be using the Java Eclipse.?

Is there a way to import existing front page website to expression web?

My Husband can't do any programming. He can do his website with his old FrontPage only.
However we now have Windows 7 on a new 64 bit system and front page 2000 isn't working properly.
Is there any way to import his Front Page web into Expression Web easily? Or is there a later version of Front Page that would work on Windows 7 64 bit?

What you do is make a copy of your current website. Then make sure that you are not using any shared borders. Be aware that the only webbot still supported in "include files" because EW will handle that in the local copy and update the contents
when you save then publish pages. If you are using FPSE to publish you may want to find out how to use FTP because if your host hasn't already discontinued them they will be doing so since they were discontinued in 2005.
Once you have made sure that you aren't using shared borders make another copy on flash drive, usb, dvd or home network to your new computer. Then simply open the folder you have copied using Site > Open Site and navigating to the location of the website
folder. You can then enable meta data to keep track of changes. If you husband is used to FrontPage 2000 there will be a learning curve. Had he been using FP 2003 it wouldn't be as great since it supported DWTs. If you go to
http://by-expression.com/page/EW-Video-Basic-Website-tutorial and download the asset file then work along with the tutorial to learn how to use Expression Web. The tutorial was created
with people migrating from FrontPage in mind. It does use version 2 instead of the current v4 but at the basic level the only real difference between the two is in the interface where all site functions have been moved to the Site from the File menu so you
don't do File > New > Website but Site > New Site. There are other tutorials on the site and in the resources sticky at the top of this forum to help in the transition. Frankly, I think EW is easier to use properly than FP was.

Blog Summary/Entry-link on front-page?

Hi all!
I have a front-page and a blog-page on my newly created iWeb '08 site, and it's working great.
However I'd like to have my blog-entries show up on the front-page, just the title as a link, that takes you to the blog entry.
I'd rather not make the blog summary page my front-page, because I like the layout of the front-page, but I'd also like my visitors to be able to quickly go to my blog-posts from the front-page.
Is this possible, maybe via the new Web Widgets feature? Seems like something a lot of people would want to do, and maybe it's right there in front of me, I just can't seeem to find it
Another thing: Has anyone made a "iWeb 08 Web Widgets Repository" or something like that? A place to collect and share great Web Widgets for iWeb?

Use an RSS feeder like feeddigest or your servers own to create a java script that will "scrape" your site. If you don't care what it looks like there are a number of them out there, if you want customization go with feeddigest. You won't get updates very quickly (24 hour turnaround), but it looks better than most.

Front page image to browser

Hi
My AppendFrontPage.VI uses the Append front page to report function to get front page from of another VI. AppendFrontPage.VI creates new HTML file as a report and then it adds two hyperlinks to the report. The front page image is added to this report and after this the report is saved to directory to overwrite an existing file. The directory where this HTML file is saved is web published as server. So the idea is to get the front page image to web site and updating that every few minutes. In program this means that the entire AppendFrontPage.VI is in "endless loop" with a timer.
But here's the problem: The Append front page to report function seems to create a temporary image files that are not temporary. The VI overwrites the HTML on every loop cycle, but "temporary" image file, example like this: LVtemp034555102214, wont be overwritten. So the VI creates a new image every time. I don't want the files to plug my hard drive. Can anyone tell me how to overwrite these files, or if anyone has a better solution how to form my program??
I tried also to make the program with invoke node as Front Panel:Get Image Method. This works but the image won't show in web browser if I use the IP address pointed to the HTML file in address bar. It works only if use the file directory address. You know, as locally. But the idea is to access the web page from somewhere else than the computer the web page was made from.
Need help, plz
Thanks for advance,
Solved!

correction
it's Append Front Panel Image to Report function

Working with existing website from Front Page

ok, am giving up Front Page as I migrate totally to my Mac. How do I open pages on my site that is already up so I can make changes and apply themes??
Thanks,
Jim in Chicago

Basically, you can't. If you want to transfer your site to iWeb, then you will have to re-build it totally in iWeb by copying and pasting from your existing site.
iWeb has no import facility and FrontPage/Expression Web as it now is, is a PC only program just as iWeb is a Mac only program.
