Re: Minor forms problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

That validates the FPSE install.
All that is left is for you to upload the site in the HTTP protocol.
That is a requirement of FPSE.
FPSE does not support FTP.

I checked the site and found that FPSE are installed. Here is the message:
FrontPage Configuration Information
In the HTML comments, this page contains configuration information that
the
FrontPage Explorer and FrontPage Editor need to communicate with the
FrontPage server extensions installed on this web server. Do not delete
this
page.

I'm assuming that's the message I should've seen, verdad?

CWhit,

I assume that you are looking at the same material, but here is the text
I
copied from David's old FAQ page about reordering the form controls:

Q. The form controls on my form "tab" in a random order. Can the tab
order
be specified?
A. By default Publisher sets the tab order in the order in which the
controls are added to the page. The Arrange (front/back) feature can be
used
to set an explicit tab order in a form. This is done by selecting each
control in the order you want the tab order to follow, and setting it to
"bring to front". In v2003 you can right click the control and select
Order,
Bring to front. In v2002 you can use Alt + F6. Or just use the Arrange
menu.

Perhaps try the different methods, and perhaps you need to left click and
drag across the individual control in order to "select" it?

As to tabs being slightly askew...perhaps try the nudge feature until
everything lines up in web preview...or post the URL to the specific page
where you are having the problem so we can see what you are talking
about.

I think the main thing with Earthlink is to make sure the FrontPage
Server
Extensions (FPSE) are installed. If they are then http protocol SHOULD
work.
Once again from David's FAQs:

Q. How do I know if my web host installed FrontPage Server Extensions
(FPSE) on my account?
A. You can confirm that FPSE was successfully installed and are
functional
by browsing to the page "_vti_inf.html" at the root of your domain. For
example - http://www.mydomainname.com/_vti_inf.html . If the FrontPage
configuration page loads then that is your confirmation page. A "page
cannot
be found" or other such server error would indicate that FPSE needs to be
installed or reinstalled by the host.

Good luck.

Two questions, actually: 1. My forms work on my test site but the
in-line
tabs are slightly askew. I entered all text boxes, check boxes, option
buttons, list boxes and text areas sequentially, but navigating the
form I
find skipping some form controls and going back to them later with
tabs.
I
then took David B's advice and went back through clicking each form
control
and clicking "bring to front". But the result was the same. This is a
minor
point, since this particular form will likely be point and click by the
user
instead of tabbing anyway. But the confirmation has the same error --
of
course -- with items out of sequence. Neither is this a big problem,
it's
mainly a puzzlement and a minor annoyance. 2. Also regarding forms.
Bigger
problem My earthlink web host keeps telling me via live chat that I
need
to
upload my pages in ftp. I keep telling them I can't do that. They
keep
telling me I have to. Finally someone said since I am saving to the
web
from
my web creator, Publisher, I can go ahead and use the http protocol.
Guess
what. I don't trust them. I have not tried the upload yet and won't
until
the middle of the night. Any ideas?
