My sister managed to delete all my website files from my hard drive

(I've looked everywhere and can't find them!) so I have had to resort to

downloading my website from the internet to my PC (still with me?)

What I can't work out how to do is to get the themes, navigation

structure and shared borders to download. I feel I am missing something

obvious here - but can't work out what!!

I am not quite sure what you are missing.

http://www.foxstitch.co.uk/index.htm essentially just frames in

http://fp.foxwood.plus.com/index.html

....

Actually I have fiddled some more and I guess you mean the foxwood logo and

brown page titles. The logo is defined by the code:

*img border= " 0 " src= " _borders/Foxwood.gif " width= " 397 " height= " 122 " *

(I have replaced < and > in case they get processed as tags rather than text).

and the home page title (for example) by

*img src= " _derived/index.html_cmp_sandston010_bnr.gif " width= " 600 " height= " 60 "

border= " 0 " alt= " Home Page " *

This means that Foxwood.gif (available at

http://fp.foxwood.plus.com/_borders/Foxwood.gif ) must be in a folder called

_borders underneat the folder where index.html is saved. Similarly the file in

the SRC parameter of its IMG tag for the Home Page graphic.

I am guessing that frontpage did this bit for you unlike the rest of your

pictures stored in http://fp.foxwood.plus.com/images/

You could just download everythis from http://fp.foxwood.plus.com/_borders/ and

http://fp.foxwood.plus.com/_derived/ (as I imagine you did for /images/)

There is also a folder structure under http://fp.foxwood.plus.com/_themes/ which

I guess you can just download as well (I haven't used FrontPage but perhaps this

is the other thing you mean). Can't see any reference to any other _folders,

but you have more of an incentive to look at your source code for longer than me

:-)

Lucky that directory browsing is enabled really.

You could contact me off list if you like

I'll have a look through and see if I can sort myself out from what you said -

if not I will be in touch!! I am ready to strangle my sister! Just as well she

is over the Atlantic as we speak!!

,

I have just tried to import your site onto my PC. It only imported one

page, and obviously gave me a navigation structure accordingly. I think

the problem may be because your site isn't actually at www.foxstitch.co.uk

- that's just the index page - the rest of it is at a different site. Have

you tried importing from the fp...site that you have - it wouldn't let me

do this as it asked for username/password.

I downloaded all the pages from the fp site - they just don't have the themes

and borders and when you go into 'Navigation' there is no structure there. I

am going to have a look through ' very complicated looking email when my

brain is in better shape (don't hold your breath!) and see what I can do.

Otherwise it is the laborious process of reinventing the wheel!

It says when you try to import the fp site: to keep the themes etc, open

the new web in Frontpage and immediately publish it. When you do this I

imagine you will get messages saying that such and such files were on the

destination web, but not in your file - would you like to add them, sort of

thing. I think this will solve your problems. Just make sure you have

both foxstitch and fp in the same web. Don't mess about with the individual

files!

Ah!! I did read that bit - but I guess I got a bit windy when I saw that the

stuff I had down loaded looked so different to the actual website (i.e. all

Times New Roman and no themes/navigation structure) and didn't want to risk

doing it in case it all went pear shaped and I end up spending the next 10

weeks trying to put it right again!
