Re: Pages not uploading

I am not sure what all you have done, but at www.the-innscribers.co.uk and
at http://www.lesleymjames.talktalk.net it appears that you are still using
the navbar wizard. To reiterate, you CANNOT use the navbar wizard when the
site is framed. It writes relative links. You have to hand build a navbar
system with absolute links. Right now if you hover your mouse over any of
the links, you will notice not only relative links (
The%20Innscribers%20web%20site_files/contacts.htm), but also another
error...you are using spaces, which show up as "%20". You can't use spaces
when writing a link/path to a file. Furthermore you should not have renamed
the index_files folder "The Innscribers web site_files".

You need to go back and read the article about building your own textual
navbar, and study it and the example I gave you on how to write the absolute
links. Then delete the wizard built navbar, and either use the approach in
the article and the insert HTML code fragment tool; or insert a text box
with absolute links; or even icons/images with absolute links...it doesn't
matter which as long as when you insert the hyperlink, it is an absolute
link/path to your files.

You can leave the page titles with the new names. This should make writing
the absolute links easier than trying to use the arbitrary numbered files
Publisher chooses when you don't. Now the link/path to your contacts page
would be written as:
http://www.lesleymjames.talktalk.net/index_files/contacts.htm instead of
http://www.lesleymjames.talktalk.net/index_files/Page596.htm

It then follows that the link to whatwedo page will be:
http://www.lesleymjames.talktalk.net/index_files/whatwedo.htm
etc, etc, etc for the rest of your pages. Remember, no spaces in the links,
and I would suggest writing everything in lower case, to prevent further
problems.

If you build your navbar on your home page, you can then copy and paste it
on your other pages.

Then delete the index.htm file and the "The Innscribers web site_files"
folder from you webhost, and republish allowing Publisher to generate the
index_files folder.

Good luck.

Here we are again. Still no success at linking pages. Since last post,
have
changed the file name, page title and folder for each page. i.e. contacts
page now has the title 'Contacts' and file name of contacts.htm
You will see on the only page that is currently loaded (no other files are
loaded - gifs etc) that the link points in the right(?) direction but will
still not open pages other than the index.htm page.
I can upload all pages within the web site and can access them all
individually on the web but the hyperlink is defeating me.

Will reconstruct links with absolute links. Hope this all helps someone
else
as well.

That is because you are framing your site in www.the-innscribers.co.uk
, and
the relative links that are used in the navbar are pointing to the
wrong
place for your other pages. Hover your mouse over the Contact Us
button, and
look at the status bar on the bottom of your page. It shows
index_files/Page596.htm which means it is looking for a page at:
http://www.the-innscribers.co.uk/index_files/Page596.htm , but that is
not
where the page is actually located.

If you go to http://www.lesleymjames.talktalk.net/ your home page
loads, and
if you click the Contact Us then it takes you to where the page really
is:
http://www.lesleymjames.talktalk.net/index_files/Page596.htm

Your options are to not frame your site, or to do away with the wizard
built
navbar that uses relative links, and build one manually with absolute
links.
Here is an article that will help you understand: Code your own textual
navigation menu in Publisher:

Partial success! Have uploaded as advised and the host site now
shows
only
two folders - the index_files folder and the HTML folder. The Home
web
page
now loads correctly with all graphics in place BUT, none of the
hyperlinks
work to enable me to go to the other five pages of the site. Could
that be
somthing to do with Publishers 'naming' of those pages? More help
please
when
you have time.
You can see the first effort on www.the-innscribers.co.uk

Thanks David - I have been uploading all the individual files in the
index_files folder. Whoops! I will try again.

Upload the index.hml file and the FOLDER index_files. All the
individual
files in that folder should stay in that folder.

I have the same problem as Kim. I DO upload the index.htm file
and all
of
the
files contained in the folder with all the other files, graphics
etc
but
they
all appear as individual files on the web page. The index.htm
file
opens
as
the home page (without graphics etc). Also there are some
unknown
files
with
some Win Media file extensions (?) which have been produced by
Publisher.
Any
help please?

When you Publish to the Web, Publisher produces the HTML output
in
the
form
of an index.htm file, plus a index_files folder that contains
your
other
pages and supporting graphics. It sounds like you didn't upload
the
folder.

Only my home page is uploading to the web. The link that was
provided
