Title: Anybody Got FrontPage-fu? Post by: Mr. Lothario on June 08, 2004, 12:46:29 pm A friend of mine needs to use FrontPage for a project she's working on. She needs "an alert box, triggered by onclick text." She can't figure out how to force FP to do that. Can anybody provide assistance?
Title: Re:Anybody Got FrontPage-fu? Post by: c| Splinter on June 08, 2004, 02:26:41 pm That's done with javascript. It's not a function of Frontpage that I know of. When I get to work I'll post an example.
Title: Re:Anybody Got FrontPage-fu? Post by: Mr. Lothario on June 08, 2004, 03:19:50 pm That's what I thought. Perhaps she's trying to figure out how to use Javascript in FP?
Title: Re:Anybody Got FrontPage-fu? Post by: c| Splinter on June 08, 2004, 04:40:17 pm I think the her best bet is to just type in the Javascript in the HTML editor.
Here's a quick example that will get the job done. Put this in the <head> section: <head> <SCRIPT language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function alertBox() { alert("Type your alert text here."); return false; } // --> </SCRIPT> </head> Put this in the <body> section: <body> <div style="cursor:hand;" onClick="return alertBox()">Click here.</div> </body> Title: Re:Anybody Got FrontPage-fu?

In my view it beats Frontpage hands down (and up ;) ) its clean, simple, straightforward, powerfull... only problems i have with it sometimes is its unhelpful built in FTP app
Title: Re:Anybody Got FrontPage-fu? Post by: c| Splinter on June 08, 2004, 06:09:09 pm Yeah, I definitely like Dreamweaver better, but it depends on the server you're uploading to. If their server is configured for Frontpage, and you upload with any FTP software, it can f-up the frontpage extensions. That's fine if you're working on your own, but if you do any sort of collaboration, it will screw everything up for everyone else.
