Need to stop Frontpage (Server Exten...

I hope some FrontPage expert can assist with this.

We have a Web gallery generator program (Shozam) which creates online galleries on the user's computer, that can then be uploaded to any Web host. Some users then integrate the gallery with their Web site and FrontPage workflow. FrontPage users that have Server Extensions installed are having an issue that I am trying to correct. The code of the HTML slideshow page gets altered by Frontpage and images are forced to display at 31px x 31px.

Our fix so far has been to advise users to disable Server Extensions. I would like to get a less drastic fix.

Here is the pertinent code generated by Shozam:

<img src="../theme/images/indicator.gif" id="SlideShow" name="SlideShow" border="0" class="imgBorder protect" />

Here is the code altered (not sure if this happens on the client computer, during the upload process or at some time afterwards on the server):

<img src="../theme/images/indicator.gif" id="SlideShow" name="SlideShow" border="0" class="imgBorder protect" width="31" height="31" />

Is there a way to tell FrontPage/ServerExtensions to NOT touch the code in the file? Forcing the img to be 31px x 31px will have all images display tiny. The way the slidehsow works normally is using JavaScript to dynamically replace images one by one, and if I do not specify a size, they will display at their own native size.

I am not myself a FrontPage user. I would appreciate information I can pass along to my Shozam users that will help them with this frustrating experience.

Thanks!

Surround your code with the following tags and FrontPage will not reformat it.


your code here


In FrontPage 2003, this feature may also be accessed by selecting the Insert menu and choosing Web Component... Advanced Controls... HTML.

NOTES: The HTMLMarkup Web component should be located between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.

The HTML Markup component does not rely on the FrontPage server extensions.

My guess is that the mischief is taking place during the FrontPage authoring process and has nothing to do with the FrontPage server extensions.

If your product generates all of the code for the slideshow, another solution may be to simply keep the slideshow in its own folder separate from the FrontPage site. Then FTP the folder to the web site. FrontPage will not know about it. This is often used for example, to install the SMF forum, WordPress, or any other self-contained set of files to a folder on the server. The important thing is to not integrate the folder with the FrontPage web on the editing box.

Sounds good; we just relocated from Seattle and love the Sun here. To get your activation code just send a note from http://helpdesk.shozam.com with a link to this post and the hardware number displayed on the Activation tab in Step 1 of Shozam.
