Re: my microsoft publisher website will not publish to domain name

Hi David

I've got IE back. From the start buton I went into 'Set programme access
and defaults' and the box 'Add or remove programmes' came up. I clicked on
custom and there was IE and Firefox with the option to change the
default...so I did and it worked. Phew!! All back to normal now but Firefox
is still there if I want to use it, I just reverse the process.

I understand what you are saying about my photos but once 1&1 are hosting
my website I don't suppose it will be an issue.

Thanks once again, you certainly inspire me to use my brain over this
computer, (but I couldn't do it at 4.28a.m!!)

Maureen,

Whoops. It sounds like you chose FireFox as your default browser when you
installed it. You needed to watch the options as you installed it. I am not
sure of how you change it now. Perhaps right click the IE icon, properties,
and under the Programs tab, click Reset Web Settings, and/or the box beside
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether...". Then try the icon again.
If that doesn't work, then perhaps delete the icon, and using Windows
Explorer browse to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe and right
click that file, drag to the desktop, and choose Create Shortcut. Set the
properties. For a Firefox shortcut, C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe , right click and drag to desktop, create short cut.

Then if none of that works, I guess I would try removing FireFox through add
and remove, check the shortcut for IE again, and if it works, then reinstall
FireFox and this time make sure it doesn't install as the default browser.

You gotta be careful when you install programs. I always use Custom install
if I have the choice so I can look at all the options before installing.
And, I always manually set a system restore point before installing, just in
case.

As per the pictures...you remember me talking about how Publisher produces
"smarter" code for IE, and "dumber" code for other browsers? Well it also
produces different graphics for different browsers, and in your case, the
images are not that great in FireFox. Just one of the limitations of using
Publisher for building a website, that you will have to live with unless you
import your images instead of embedding them...but that is another issue,
for another time.

Hi David

Just to let you know that I downloaded Firefox. It takes a little time to
sort out where things are in a different layout, but I'm sure I will get
used
to it. The only thing is I appear to have lost IE. When I click on the IE
icon on my desktop it goes to Firefox. Is that something I did when I
downloaded, I would quite like to have both browsers if I can so any ideas
how I can restore IE?

The good thing about Firefox, of course, is that my web site works fine in
my domain name, Yipeee! The photographs are very fuzzy but is that because
I
uploaded the web site in IE? If I'm handing it all over to 1&1 it's not a
problem and hopefully it will all be sorted by the end of the week.

Be in touch again when it's all done.

Just to let you know that I have just copied and pasted the article from
David Bartosik's web site and it has worked perfectly, it's now saved in
a
Word Document.
Thanks again.

Maureen,

Please post the URL of your website.

Happy to help, but I don't know about the "know what I am talking
about",
and the website material I reference is not mine, it is David
Bartosik's,
the resident MVP who DOES know what he is talking about ;-) Most of
what I
do know about this subject, I learned from him, reading this newsgroup,
and
a lot of trial and terror.

You should be able to print David's material, but I guess you could
also
copy and paste it into a Word document...or WordPad or notepad..., and
print
from there if you are having problems. Or perhaps try selecting the
text you
want to print and choose print selection...

Hi David
Thanks again for your help, I have been trying to get this website up
and
running for weeks. My old one was in Publisher 97 and was a real
struggle...
and I was on dial-up. So I decided to update my version of Publisher
and
go
Broadband thinking all would be easy. After weeks of talking to
people,
reading books and the 'net, you have no idea how good it is to talk
deal
with
someone who know what they're talking about and is prepared to help.

Anyway, I thought it might be a good idea to try publishing my
website
again
and I've had a look at your website and found the details very
interesting. I
would like to try publishing my website using your FTP instructions
but
find
it quite alot to remember. I tried printing it but it wouldn't do
it,
have
you a printable version I can try?

Maureen

It sounds like you forgot to upload all the HTML files. When you
Publish
to
the Web, unless
you changed the default, you produce a index.htm file (your home
page)
and a
index_files folder which contains your other pages and images. If
that
isn't
the problem review the articles above and then post the URL.

I have recently designed and published a web site in Publisher 2003
following
the ftp location and it has published successfully to my web space
URL
address. But when I access the site using my domain name I find it
has
only
published the details of the Home page and the other pages are
blank.
My
domain name host says it's not a problem with their site and my
ISP say
it's
not a problem with their site. Can you help?
