FP97: ID, Class, Style Attributes Not Retained

• Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack

SYMPTOMS

Some elements of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are discarded by FrontPage Editor. For example, FrontPage Editor correctly preserves the STYLE and LINK tags placed within the HEAD element, but it only preserves the ID, CLASS, and STYLE attributes some of the time.

CAUSE

ID, CLASS, and STYLE attributes in the BODY section of your document are not preserved if they occur within an HTML tag that does not support extended attributes.

For a list of tags which do not support extended attributes, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

               HTML

MORE INFORMATION

Cascading style sheets consist of several parts:

• A STYLE tag specified inside the HEAD tag that describes the appearance and behavior of other elements on the page.
• A LINK tag placed inside the HEAD tag that references an external style sheet via a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
• The ID, CLASS, and STYLE attributes that can be specified on all tags inside the BODY.
