View Full Version : Banner Marquee in Front Page won't work

I put a banner marquee on a page that I built with Front Page 2000. It works in the previews and when I open the htm file directly from my disc but won't work after I uplad it to the server. I checked to make sure that I didn't miss any pertinent files that FP might add to make it work. I do notice some kind of activity in the area where the banners are supposed to load when the page is loading from the server.
I wonder if there is a special process to upload the feature.

Have you got a link to the page so we can check out the banner placement and view the source.

Also check your banner url's. Frontpage by default points the relevant url's to your documents folder or the folder that contains your images,etc,thats why the page works fine in "preview" because your Hard Drive is acting as the server.

So you may need to correct the url's to point to the correct folders on the server.

In other words, instead of thelink pointing to folder/foldercontainingimages, the path should be www.mysite/relevantserverfolder/foldercontainingimages?
I think I already see what you're getting at.

Here's the link anyway- http://tugboatsonline.com/
The banner marquee is supposed to be to the left of the scrolling marquee. I'm not a features freak. I'd like to use the banners instead of the scroller.

You mean the code or did the banners come up for your browser.
I tried it using both Firefox and IE6. The Sun device spins like something is going to happen but then nothing shows.

Everything looks fine to me in IE & FF....but I don't know what's suppose to be on the page.

This sux. I can't get it to work on any of my computers.
Have to check security settings I guess, but other Java-ish thingies work fine.
