2.28.4 FrontPage

2.28.4.1 FrontPage Removes AShop Tags

When publishing the web using Microsoft FrontPage 2002, htm and html files may be overwritten even

for page files that are not included in the local web site (on the PC). FrontPage will sometimes remove

comment tags from within the AShop page template files, which causes an "Incorrectly formatted

template file!" message to appear in pages that use the template.

You can keep FP from "updating" any part of a web page by placing the following line before the code

you want to protect:

and the following line after the code you want to protect:

leaving a space between each tag.

For instance, if you were to protect the AShop template tags, it would look like this with a space

between each tag.

<!--

webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan-->

With FP, type in a space before and after the comments and FP inserts the "HTMLMarkup" tags for

protecting non-FP comments.

Additional information added later...

Rather than hand code the webbot tags, the correct solution is to do this (FP 5.0/XP):

1) Within FP, Select: Insert > Web Component > Advanced Controls > HTML, then click Finish

2) Type in the AShop start and stop tags into the dialogue window that opens.

The webbot tags don't appear in the HTML code for the page, but FP recognizes the instructions and

keeps the AShop tags!
