I am using FrontPage 2003 I posted this question before but didn't get much help, therefore I am posting this question again. Where do the Interactive link buttons belong?????
I created a page with a list of forms, by Dept in several tables. At the top of the page, I have interactive buttons linking to each dept (using bookmarks). After each department I have an interactive button linking back to the top. I just noticed that on the left hand folder list, I have approximately 30 buttons listed; button 1, button 2, button 3, button 3A, etc. Somehow I do not think these buttons belong in my folder list. In the practice sessions I followed from the MS training web, I do not remember them being listed in the left folder list. What have I done wrong? Can they be moved to where ever they belong? Where do they belong? Please help me. Aurora
Link buttons belong where you want them to belong. In my webs button images are located:
In the same folder as the pages that use them In the root folder In the Images folder In the images/buttons folder
The choice of location is yours. Wherever they are located does not affect the way they work, the location only affects your organisation of the website files and folders.
You can move the buttons by opening the web site in FrontPage or Expression Web, then drag the images from the theitr present location to the folder you wish to store them in.
However, you will then have to open every page in Code View, and change the JavaScript in the links to point to the new locations. This does not happen automatically.
For example, when moving buttons from the root folder to the images folder:
The link <img border="0" id="img3" src="button2C.gif" height="20" width="110" alt="IB Home Page" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Rectangle 10; fp-transparent: 1; fp-proportional: 0" fp-title="IB Home Page" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/button2D.gif')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/button2C.gif')" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/button2E.gif')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/button2D.gif')"></a>
You may also have to change the links in the <body onload(.... as well. -- Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

Thank you Ron: Your answer was a big help. 1 more question. Since i am relatively new to working with Front Page, do you think it would easier for me to just recreate the interactive buttons (saving them in a special folder) then to try to change the code?

Thank you Ron for answering. I finally did find the MS Training session on Interactive buttons and was able to make all of the necessary changes and get them into the right directory. By any chance you know where I could find MS Training on creating a "search" field. The help in FP made it seem really simple, but I am not doing something right. Do you know where I could get easy to understand information about creating a search field in FP?

Sorry for the late response - I have been without Internet since July 25 till today.
I have not found a Search tutorial - as far as FrontPage is concerned all you have to do is add the component to the page, and Publish to a server that supports the extensions.
However, if you are using a Windows Server the Host has some work to do, namely create a catalogue for your site in Index Service.
Some hosts do not support Index Service since it can be a resource hog, and without Index Service the search component will fail on Windows servers (except Windows 2000 and earlier).
On Unix servers there should be no problems with the search component.
What problems are you having (if there is still a problem)? -- Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

Yes - I still have a problem. When I put in the search field the form number I am looking for (Ex; 45-5066) I get a list of pages the form # is on and not the form number itself. The developer of this web site - created a search field for drawing numbers. When you put in a partial drawing number such as 1700*. The results list all drawing numbers that begin with 1700 no matter want the rest of the number is. Then you can click on the correct drawing number and get exactly what you want. In my search field in the "Search Form Properties" box, I did not change the first tab and in the "Search Results" tab I have tried "All" and the "page name" where the forms are located. I get the same result no matter what I try. Do you have any advice for me?

" When I put in the search field the form number I am looking for (Ex; 45-5066) I get a list of pages the form # is on"
That is how the FrontPage search component works - give it some text to search for, and it finds every web page with that text on it.
It sounds like the original site used a database application of some sort to store all the drawing numbers with links to the associated files, or used server side scripting to look through the filing system for a particular filename associated with the drawing number.
