FP98: Can't Change Design-Time Controls Properties After Saving

• Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you insert a design-time control in a Web page using FrontPage 98, the properties of the control cannot be changed after the design-time control is saved to the page.

CAUSE

FrontPage 98 allows you to alter the properties of a design-time control only before it is saved to the page.

RESOLUTION

To alter the properties of a design-time control after it is first saved, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Reinsert the Design-Time Control

Delete the currently saved design-time control and reinsert it. When you reinsert the control, specify the desired properties before you save the page.

Method 2: Edit the HTML Code

Switch to HTML view and alter the design-time control properties within the HTML code directly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
