look for the links
^_^ 3 Mailtos, and only 2 activation text outputs???? Tongue

ames Bayer
Network Maintenance Supervisor
The J is in there as well...it split the link into three seperate pieces of code when it should only be one. However, that's likely due to Diroga not knowing how to use Frontpage "correctly" (as if there's any 'real' way to use that POS anyways...).
Aye, missed that,. It was hidding, nor was I looking for it,. I was looking at the ratio of mailtos over displayed text.. Smile

Which now I see,. it broke it into 3 where you wanted 1:

J <!- Link 1 ->
ames Bayer <!- Link 2->
Network Maintenance Supervisor <!-Link 3->

where it should be:

James Bayer Network Maintenance Supervisor <- 1 Link->

,.. ado might have a point, you using it right?? :wink:
it wasnt me, it was the guy who made the page. i better than to use front page. there are a bunch of other errors like that; <mailto:> with out any text to click on, real great. forgetting to input text for a linke like that i can understand, but three links for one name? how does that happen?
Made what page?
Auburn school district staff page, its not worth looking at.
heh can you imagine him coding a game?

Code:
locate 1,1
print "H";
print "ello";
print " "
locate 1,7
print "World"+chr$(whatever "!" is)

yikes...
Front page sucks at generating HTML. Actually, it sucks at almost everything it does! Just dont make the mistake of using it :lol:
If you really prefer having a WYSIWYG interface for making web pages, try Nvu: http://www.nvu.com/

Here is a nice screenshot of it running: http://nvu.com/tree.jpg

It's open source, cross-platform and it's pretty good quality. I've only played around with it once, but it seems nice. It's not bloated at all, either (6.7MB installer download).

Of course, for ultimate control, you'll always want to make them by hand. Smile
