Error Occurs Saving Page with Include in Shared Border

ID: Q216452

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

On Windows servers, when you save a page that has shared borders with an include in a Table of Contents on the page or a Form with Validation, the following error occurs:

An unexpected error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files. Authors - if authoring against a web server, please contact the WebMaster for this server's site. WebMaster - please see the server's system log for more details.

In the event viewer, the following errors appear:

Premature end of script headers

CAUSE

This problem occurs because FrontPage will occasionally double-parse a document. In these cases, the bots persist between the parses so they can communicate the values found in the first parse to the second. Include bots need to identify what their parent document is. Shared borders act just like include bots, and act as parent documents. However, shared border documents are temporary and do not persist between parses.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, upgrade to the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, delete the page in the Web that has the shared border with the include in either the Table of Contents or Form with Validation, and then recalculate hyperlinks.

You can put the Table of Contents or Form with Validation on a page that does not have a shared border with an include in it or remove the include from the shared borders.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FrontPage 98 for Windows.
