Dear Elizabeth, I use Frontpage2000. I remember my confusion when I started. It's normal, expected even. I'm going to start from the basics, because even the basics can be daunting if you don't know them. If someone already covered this, I apologize. Rootsweb Freepages has 9 "categories". These are "directories", like a folder on your PC. Most people start off using the "family" directory, or the "genealogy" directory. (Others are "misc", school-alumni, history, etc.) Each Rootsweb "Directory" is a "website". Technically, you could make 9 websites using your userid and password. You need to set up the computer side to match what will go online. The directory you picked for your website (like "family" or "genealogy") MUST be on your computer. How? In Windows, make a directory called "My Webs". Click on it. Now make a new folder inside it named "genealogy"-- or whichever RW directory you picked. *** When you want to use another RW directory, that new folder will go under My Webs also. Open Frontpage and navigate to that "genealogy" folder. You now need Frontpage to recognize it as a 'website'. IF you named your website folder anything different (like mywebsite), you must change it now. The name must match the names Rootsweb uses. So it sounds like you made an "index.htm" or "index.html" page. Each website must have its own index page. When you have "a page" written, like "index.htm", you can simply open it, and under File, select Save As. Enter a new name. Yes, it is scary to now delete the content on your Newly Saved-As page. If it bothers you a whole lot, REdo the Save As and call that one "index_back-up.htm". Close both the "index.htm" and the "index_back-up.htm". Re-open ONLY your Newly Saved Page, whatever name you called it. Note: You must make all pages .htm OR .html (whichever you pick). Do the deletion in steps, just to prove to yourself that all is ok. On the Newly Saved-As page, delete a couple words, then File Save. Open your index-- prove to yourself that file still has the two words. Close the index so you still have the Newly Saved-As page opened. Now take a deep breath...and delete a whole paragraph and save. Recheck the index if you need to be sure. As you go back and forth, just always check the name of the file you have Open. Content is anything you type or add to a page. The background or header and footer are not content. So when you've deleted content-only from your Newly Saved-As page (and re-saved it -- File, Save), check the page... Does it have the background, header, footer---anything that you want on all pages? If yes, now you can make a Template that you can re-use. Take your Newly Saved-As page with just background/header/footer, and do File Save (just a precaution; you already saved it before). Now, use that page and do File, Save-As and name this one "template.htm" Let's say your Newly Saved-As page is called "michaels.htm". But now you want one called "steward.htm". Open your "template.htm" file and do Save-As... and rename it. Note how Save-As just makes a new page; it doesn't overwrite another page you made. You can re-use template.htm as much as you want through Save-As. Let's say under your folders you have: (folder-directory) My Webs (folder-sub-directory--website)--> genealogy (folder-sub-directory)----------------->images (folder-sub-directory)----------------->Let's say you want all your michaels pages in one page. So you make a New Folder and call it michaels (nothing else) (you can make other New Folders which each become a sub-directory under genealogy.) You may wonder, HOW do I get my "template.htm" into my new Folder called "michaels" Right click on template.htm -- choose COPY from the drop down list. Just touch to highlight the folder michaels Right click on the folder... now choose Paste. When you open the folder/directory michaels you will have inside it "template.htm". Now you can just do Save As and Name it the next page you want to do! Keep template.htm in that folder as long as you need it...or for forever. What about a page you made in the main directory under "genealogy"? If you have a new folder for it, you can simply highlight it, then, slide the file up to the folder, and drop it in. If you need more help, let me know. Judy

The version Elizabeth is using is evidently FrontPage 2000. I know Judith still uses that version but not sure who else might be. I no longer have any version of FP installed on my computers. 1999/03 - Microsoft FrontPage 2000 - Version 4 FP should offer the option of Save As under File. Perhaps Judy can check for her. pat http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gloverhoward/bennett2.htm ... that I will dig myself deeper and deeper into the mire if I continue in offering any advice. That is no reflection on Elizabeth or her pages, as she is just making use of the tools she has, but some of the older MS software can become a nightmare if like me you are not familiar with its peculiarities.

Billie, In the example at:- http://countjustonce.com/test/mercator-resize.html .. the span element containing the PNG image will show its box border when prompted to do so, and it will now turn on and off using the shape control. Meanwhile the "shape-outside-circle()" property creates a circle over the alpha channel pixels (the white area outside of the circular image) which is modified by the span element padding to become an ellipse. So in a floated element, the box is ignored when the "shape" property is in use, and the text will snuggle up to the shape boundary. Following on from the above, IE10 and IE11 can both render the exclusion "wrap-flow:both" property, which now allows the positioning of a box element within text. The only problem is the box element needs to be positioned absolutely, which makes for difficulties if multiple paragraphs need to be flowed across it. In the following example, I have used some old techniques to overcome the problem, e.g. placed all the text in one <p> tag and used pseudo paragraph breaks. http://countjustonce.com/test/css-exclusion.html Barry -------------------------- On Sun, 19 Jul 2015 01:12:26 +1200, Billie Walsh via <[email protected]> wrote: > The shape tag writes over the image? > > I can create all sorts of shapes but they are all inside boxes with > transparent backgrounds.

I figured that was what was happening. Thank you for the explanation. I think the use is somewhat limited right now. I tried it in my usual browser, Firefox v31, and it didn't work. I tried the latest and greatest Firefox, v42, and still not implemented. It worked well in Chromium v43. I didn't try it on my Windows computer so no IE.

Hello again, Back to work to try to finalise my South Tawton pages: is it possible to - style the title of the Guestbook which appears automatically when the gbk is called: at present it's in large black characters, which don't suit the style of these pages; -- reset the a:visited to the a:link definition when returning to the page: at present, having link, visited and hover defined, once the gbk has been visited, when going back to the page from within the group (separate folder), the a:visited colour appears, whereas I would like it to return to the a:link colour; ie a:visited while writing a message for the gbk, after reading it, but a:link style when returning to the gbk write page. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cmtilbury/stawton/st_contacts_guestbook.html Caroline ____ "Tilberia" http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~cmtilbury "TheTilbury Magazine" http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cmtilbury/ttm/ttm_frontpage.html Every path has its puddle.

Hi. Would any of you kind listers be able to help me solve a problem with the "Enter Here" button on my web site please. It is very many years since created the web site and I was only a beginner even then as I am now. I never learned HTML or CSS and just used Front Page to create the web site. I don't know why after all these years my Enter Here button does not work. Any help or advice would be very much appreciaged. Very many grateful thanks in advance. Kind regards.

Earlier in the week I posted an image of a test-page I had been working on where the text had flowed against the side of a circular shaped image. The HTML page can be found at:- http://countjustonce.com/test/mercator-resize.html ... and will work in up-to-date versions of Chrome or Opera browsers, where the CSS controlling the shape dimensions is currently using the -webkit- prefix. Clicking on the Show Shape link beneath the right-hand image will show the transparent shape that is created below the floated .png image to form the boundary for the text. Microsoft have indicated that the CSS shape property is under consideration for inclusion in their new Microsoft Edge browser, and it will most likely respond to the -webkit- prefixed CSS and/or the non prefixed version. MS along with Firefox currently implement -webkit- prefixes in their browsers to ensure interoperability across platforms. As far as shapes go, the flowing of data around or inside various shapes - polygons included, is now feasible. An article by Sara Soueidan that explains the implementation is at:- http://alistapart.com/article/css-shapes-101 Windows 10 and the Microsoft Edge browser will probably be around for a long time, and my interpretation is that MS are intending doing updates to the O/S and browser at 4 monthly intervals. In other words new features will just appear as they do in Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

Judy, T'is the 'flu season down here! As Pat and Kathy have said, it is working correctly. If a mobile is able to display 640px in either orientation, it will display the page, and if it is best displayed in the Horizontal mode there will be a prompt to change from Portrait to Horizontal. Otherwise all you will see are the RW banners and the h2 tag contents. If you are testing it by reducing your browsers window width; select your new width then refresh the page to check. The http://mobiletest.me emulator shows that those devices that are capable of displaying your page will, and those that aren't will let you know.

The shape tag writes over the image? I can create all sorts of shapes but they are all inside boxes with transparent backgrounds.

In 2006 a woman sent me over 3,000 engagement-wedding newspaper images. All needed transcribed. All file names needed redone for a consistent naming. Over 2,000 contained the letters RO for Record-Outlook.. It was before I knew about CaSe SenSiTiVe in html coding. With doing a site overhaul, I painstakingly went through nearly 5,000 images, changing all file names to lowercase--- by hand. The program confirmed updating the links as I edited the file names. With re-uploading the site, I needed to delete 'everything' to ensure duplicate files wouldn't exist. I feared, though, that RW wouldn't re-upload all the images. With trepidation, I checked a random file in the live web. My heart sunk. After all my hard work, some images were not there! I re-uploaded---twice! Still no images! Nothing seemed 'wrong'---what mistake did I make? When adding some missing ALT tags on another page, I noticed RO in an image filename. Ah ha! Sure enough, I found the program did NOT update the links to lowercase when I fixed the file names months ago. Of course, fixing RO to ro will make all my missing images appear. (Yay!) It's simple things like this that drive webmasters crazy about code. Moral::: Always check the simplest explanation for a problem, first, before going on to a more complex cause. Judy

Judy, When I reorganize a site (or move one) I copy the entire website to a separate folder on my hard drive and as I finish redoing a page I take the matching "old" page(s), wipe out the content, fix the meta tag statements and add a redirect message saying the page has moved and listing the new link or the link to the new index. That way all my old pages have redirects and I can upload them to where they were and my new pages to where they need to be. Eventually most of the people/places that link to that page make the change or at the least they get to the right spot without much trouble. If you use the above scenario the search engines will read your redirects, follow them and index your new pages. There are a few places I always notify immediately of changes in URLs - usgenweb sites, Cyndi's List and Linkpendium. After that it's use the search engines and notify webmasters as I have time. Meanwhile the redirects from my old pages are doing the job. I've never had much luck getting my content removed when someone copies it and puts it their sites. Some hosting companies will make a user take copyrighted material down, but if it's just facts then they won't. It's frustrating. The most you can do is notify Cyndi's List and Linkpendium of the site's URL that took your information. They've been really good in the past at removing links to that page/site. One time I had a couple of articles I wrote specifically for my website taken by a woman who refused to remove them. I searched for links to her website and contacted those webmasters. The majority of them removed their link to her site and used mine instead.

I can now not access my Blacksmiths Website as ADMINISTRATOR and upload new information. I contact Rootsweb but all they did was send me the URL as above which does NOT let me access as ADMIN. I have my ID and password but need access to the admin area. I must have the URL for admin written somewhere but cannot find it. Can someone please help me.
