When I go to my webpage ( www3.sk.sympatico.ca/ajohn ), my browser tells me that there are errors on that page but it doesn't say what those errors are. I created that page with M$ Frontpage in the first place, so how can there be errors?

Possible because the web server doesn't support the Frontpage extensions used by Frontpage. (I never use Frontpage extensions on the web servers I build. Too big a security risk.)

Hi Jes. The error message is from a javascript that is called from your page. From the look of the source code, it seems to be the ad script supplied by your host.

I'm afraid that using Frontpage does not guarantee that the resulting page will not contain HTML erros either. It does not always generate "clean" HTML, and sometimes uses tricks and "features" of IE to do things that break if the page is viewed with another browser.




Edit Yoda snuck in while I was looking at your page! And he's right too!

I trimmed it a bit to this:

'<head>
'<title></title>
'</header>
'</head>

'<body onUnload="spawntopfivewindow();"

That was a mess. Ignor that.
Not sure what to take out from here...

I think the error is coming from the location of your picture file. (there is no "C" drive on this server or the one hosting your site.)


EDIT Naw, that isn't it. :)

EDIT #2 I think your error is in here:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--hide

var my_clientip = '*.*.*.*';

setonclickmethods();
setvisitorcookie(my_clientip);
if(brmvars != '') {DisplayBRM(1);}

// e = getfclocale();

// -->
</script>



Note that the hide function only works on some browsers.

I took that part out. IE6 doesn't report the error anymore but FrontPage does.

Ghost,

What is your preferred web development software?

Dreamweaver 3, but I just dabble in web page design. :)
