FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, you wrecked my webpage!

July 5, 2007 9:14 AM

Why does recalculating the web using FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 eat chunks of the HTML in the page, that previously worked in FPSE 2000? Please see the ...

Before you ask, yes, I know, FP is awful. But, it's what we have right now and there's no ability to move from it on this web site at this time. I need to make this work.

What's happening is that I'm trying to consolidate our IIS servers. Currently, the web site in question is residing on a Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 and FPSE 2000. I am moving it over to a box with Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0 and FPSE 2002.

When I copy it over, it seems fine. But, when I Recalculate The Web, the HTML that previously read:

< !--mstheme-->< !--msnavigation-->< !--msnavigation-->< !--mstheme-->


Downloads
External Links
Frequently Asked Questions
Passwords
Lexmark MFP Training
User Info.


< !--mstheme-->< !--msnavigation-->< !--mstheme-->

Now reads:

< !--mstheme-->< !--msnavigation-->< !--msnavigation-->< !--mstheme-->

 

< !--mstheme-->< !--msnavigation-->< !--mstheme-->

What gives? Is there something I can change on the server side? Does IIS 6.0/FPSE 2002 not like the nobr tag? I'll not lie, I'm not the developer, nor am I an FPSE guru (nor have I personally used FP since 1997 ... and begrudgingly then).

OK, unfortunately though I manually specified the HTML with ampersands to try to tell everything, AskMe went ahead and rendered the HTML.

I'll try this again, and if it breaks I'll flag this for deletion.
