Finding a place to get support can be one of the most frustrating things to a software buyer. There are many different support options available from Microsoft that you can use. See my new article on Contacting Microsoft and Getting Support for phone numbers and other support options.
You can also use the Microsoft Newsgroups to get support from your peers, other users of FrontPage and, of course, the Microsoft MVPs. Before posting to the newsgroups you may want to take a glance at my article on how to get the best answers to your questions.
Are You Receiving 25506 Errors When You Install FrontPage 2002? Each 25506 Error references a file. Use the following KnowledgeBase articles to complete your installation based upon the filename referenced by the error.
While Frames have their uses, I find that many people forget to properly "target" their links and so you find your site *stuck* inside of someone else's frameset. To prevent this from happening:
Switch to HTML View
In the <HEAD> section of your code put:
<script language="Javascript"> <!-- hide this from now JavaScript Browsers
if (window.location != top.location) {top.location.href=window.location}
After I finished my last log entry I realized that some people may be wondering about the new "Smart Tag" feature built into Internet Exporer 6.0. Is it possible to disable this feature on your web site?
Yes. All you need to do is add a Meta tag to your <HEAD> </HEAD> section to disable them. The tag is:
One question that I get a lot of is people wanting to know how to disable the right-click menu in a user's browser so they can't download images and graphics from their site. This also goes hand-in-hand with the questions about preventing users from stealing content off of a web site. Here's the only real way to prevent this:
Don't publish it to your site!
There are all kinds of JavaScript and other tricks you can use to disable the right-click, most of which will just annoy your users, but in the end there is NO possible way to prevent users from getting your content.
Even with right-click disabled people can still get the images and files they want from their Temporary Internet Files cache, doing a View Source on your page and browsing directly to it, copy and pasting the information, choosing Save As from the File menu and a number of other ways to defeat this.
The best you can do is use a service, like Digimarc, to digitally "sign" or watermark your images so they can be tracked.
I decided to start a new section [category] called "Random Thoughts" so I'd have a place to add non-FrontPage related stuff and my own ramblings. Hope you find it interesting.
Just a quick thanks to Dave Winer for mentioning my site in Scripting News tonight. I'll try to keep adding as much useful information as I can for vistors working with FrontPage. I do find this to be a tad addicting though. Maybe I'll add a new section for my own personal stuff as well. Hmm..
