FP98: Page Banner/Navigation Bar Don't Display on Published Page

ID: Q175727

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you publish a Web created in Microsoft FrontPage 98 to a server that supports FrontPage 97 Server Extensions, the following message appears on pages that include navigation bars and page banners outside the shared border region when you open the page in a Web browser: 


   [WebBot Navigation Component]


CAUSE

This problem occurs when you publish a Web that has navigation bars or page banners outside the shared border region of a page, to a server that supports FrontPage 97 Server Extensions, because the FrontPage (WebBot) component is stripped out of the HTML code and sent as arguments.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.


WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

Method 1: Upgrade to the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions

Because navigation bars and page banners do not exhibit this problem when you post your content to a Web server on which you have installed the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions, upgrade the extensions. You can download the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions from the following Microsoft World Wide Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp

Method 2: Insert the Navigation Bars and Page Banners in a Shared Border

If you do not want to upgrade to the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions, insert the navigation bars and page banners in a shared border region of your Web page.
