FrontPage Does Not Save Changes

 
 

Possible Issues:

  1. Issue 1: When you open a page in FrontPage and save after making changes, your changes do not appear to have been saved and do not display on the Internet

    -or-
     
  2. Issue 2: Your changes are saved and display in FrontPage but are not immediately visible on the Internet.

Solutions:

  1. Solution 1: Sometimes, especially when requesting to edit a page using the Edit with Microsoft Office FrontPage function in Internet Explorer, FrontPage will err by opening a page for editing without actually connecting the the associated site. One symptom that this has happened is that the Folder List, usually found on the left side of the FrontPage interface, is missing. Another symptom is that the page will try to be saved on the C: drive of the local computer. If this occurs, do the following.
     
    • Keep the page with your changes open in FrontPage
    • Click File/Open Site
    • Enter the complete site address (URL) in the Site Name Dialogue Box
    • Click Open
    • Locate the desired file you intended to edit
    • Double click on the file to open it for editing
    • Copy or enter the desired changes from the first file into the original and Save
  2. Solution 2: Our network uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security which serves to encrypt web information. This means that you have to use an "s" as in https:// before web addresses when viewing pages on our web and when editing them in FrontPage. If you are working within the school network, you will not be able to see changes immediately if you do not use https:// to view the changes you have made.
     
    • New pages have to be saved and cached on our proxy servers. They are scheduled to be cached every hour. But they are immediately visible for users who have access to the network from the Internet.
    • Always use https:// to edit or view any web page on TrevorNet.
