woody03,
Abyss Web Server does not support FP 2000/2003 Server Extensions. It isn't because we do not want to but because we cannot add that support without having some licensing issues. In fact, FP 2000/2003 Server Extensions is a Microsoft proprietary technology and only Microsoft products such as IIS and PWS support it. No other web server (even Apache) do support it natively.
But you can still design your web site with FrontPage and host it on Abyss. FrontPage extensions (that are not supported on Abyss) are the widgets you can insert using the menu Insert > Web Components.
For your information, most of these extensions can easily be substituted with free PHP or Perl scripts. So you can choose to use such scripts in place of the FP extensions which restrict you to using only Microsoft products.
To design your web site using FrontPage (and to avoid any problem with these extensions), open FrontPage, select the menu Tools > Page Options. Then select the Compatibility tab. Select Custom in the Servers list and uncheck the "Enabled with MS FrontPage Server Extensions" option. Press OK to validate.
After designing your site, use Windows Explorer to copy the resulting files to the htdocs/ folder of Abyss Web Server.

As Aprelium Was saying , its best to go out and buy
a book on PHP and learn it , if you know HTML , PHP
will come easy to you , Im already learning alot.
Just using $name = strip_tags($name); you can
strip html tags from being sent through e-mail or
through your contact forms , just a small tip! :D |
