Microsoft FrontPage 2000

Step by step directions for adding a search box using Microsoft FrontPage 2000.

• Print this page for easier reading. 

• Highlight/select the HTML code we sent you via email. 

• Click "edit", then click "copy". This will copy that code into memory, which will be used two steps later. 

• Run Notepad in your Start/Program/Accessories menu.

• Click "edit" then "paste". This will put the code from the email on the screen. 

• Highlight/select all of the code - click "edit", then "copy". 

• Close notepad. you do not need to save the file. 

• Run FrontPage 2000. 

• Click "file", then "open". 

• Open your web page

• Make sure you are viewing the page in "normal" mode. (Check the tab at the bottom.) 

• Click the cursor where you would like to add your search box. 

• Click the "HTML" tab. 

• Click "edit", then click "paste". This will put the code you copied earlier into the document where the cursor last was. 

• Now click the "preview" tab at the bottom to view the search box, now on your page. 

• Save the document. 

• Upload your page to your server. (If you don't use FrontPage's publish web utility, you will have to do it manually via ftp or other resource.) 

• Congratulations! You put your search box on your site! 
  

A common question we get is "Why do I have to paste my code to Notepad, re-copy it, and then re-paste it into FrontPage?" If you try to skip this step, Microsoft FrontPage often takes the HTML/JavaScript code and converts the ">" (greater than) and "<" (less than) symbols to "&gt;" and "&lt;", respectively. The result is that the source code is "displayed" on your site, instead of executed.  Using Notepad corrects this problem.
