Interactive button image locations in FP2003

Interactive button image locations in FP2003

Anonymous

I created a website using FP2003 on XP and including interactive buttons. These, and the 'mouseover' etc images, were located in the website and images folders. I have now changed computers and am running W7. On updating the website FrontPage now creates the buttons correctly but puts the 'mouseover' etc images in 'AppData.....\FrontPageTempDir' which apparently can't be found by 'Preview' or 'Open in..' etc. I guess that there must be a setup or config file somewhere that's overriding the locations. Any ideas?

Have run the cleaner, made a new page added a table and inserted a new button. The code is below......

<body onload="FP_preloadImgs(/*url*/'[R]file:/C:/Users/phil%27s/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/FrontPageTempDir/button6.jpg%27',/*url*/'[R]file:///C:/Users/phil's/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/button7.jpg'')">

<p> </p>

<table border="1" width="250" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="table2">

    <tr>

        <td>

        <img border="0" id="img1" src="images/button5.jpg" height="20" width="100" alt="testnewpage" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'[R]file:///C:/Users/phil's/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/button6.jpg'')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'[R]file:///C:/Users/phil's/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/button5.jpg'')" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'[R]file:///C:/Users/phil's/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/button7.jpg'')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'[R]file:///C:/Users/phil's/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/button6.jpg'')" fp-style="fp-btn: Border Bottom 1; fp-font-color-hover: #00FFFF; fp-font-color-press: #00FF00" fp-title="testnewpage"></td>

        <td> </td>

    </tr>

</table>

As you can see 'button5' has been put into 'images' and the rest into TempFiles.

I am now seriously confused as the site still contains the original correct buttons and the only change I've made between then and now is XP to Win7.

Using FP2003 and Windows 7 Ultimate I cannot reproduce the problem. All three buttons appear in the Save Embedded files dialogue, and can be saved in the same chosen folder.

Even creating a page without opening a website has the same result - all three buttons can be saved into the same folder.

First, download FP Cleaner from http://www.95islive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm - make sure you get the FrontPage version.
With FrontPage closed, Run the routines that delete hidden temporary files, and delete hidden web cache files.

Then open FrontPage, Open the website.
Make a new page and insert some Interactive Buttons - if you still have problems post how you insert the buttons, step-by-step. Start with Open FrontPage....

Thanks for the rapid reply. However the problem is where the 'mouseover' versions of the image files are stored, not how to view them.

The original button is located in 'Images' which is where I created them using the 'Change Folder..' option in the 'Save Embedded Files' window. As I said in the original query, the 'onmouseover' and 'onmouseout' copies of the button are put into the FrontPageTempDir instead of the 'images' folder. When I open or publish the website these versions cannot be found. The code shows the FrontPageTempDir location, but I can't get FP to access them when I Preview the Page; the original button just disappears on mouse over.

How can I get the 'onmouseover' and 'onmouseout' copies of the button into the 'images' folder with the originals? When I created the site originally using XP all 3 versions were put in 'Images' as you would expect. Now I need to add more buttons but no success.

Thanks, Phil

In FrontPage 2003, the FrontPage temporary folder is at the following location:

'C:\Users(user name)\AppData\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir'

Note: The 'FrontPageTempDir' folder is not visible in the Temporary Internet Files folder.

To view the contents of the 'FrontPageTempDir ' folder contents, type the full path of this folder in the address bar of your browser.

For example, start Microsoft Internet Explorer, type 'C:\Users(user name)\AppData\Temp\FrontPageTempDir' in the address bar of your browser, and then press ENTER.
