Publishing Your Pages

When your Web site is ready to publish, from the File menu, choose Publish Web.
You will see the Publish Destination dialog box as shown in the graphic below. Type one of the following into the text box:
ftp://upload.att.net or ftp://upload.worldnet.att.net
Click the OK button to continue.
At this point, you should get asked for your Name and Password. Complete the boxes as shown below (with your information) and click the OK button.
- Name: Your e-mail ID (the part to the left of the @ sign)
- Password: Your e-mail password
Note: If you have more than one Web site, you must use the e-mail ID and password for the one you're trying to upload. You must also close FrontPage between publishing to different e-mail IDs. For additional help with managing your personal Web space with different IDs, visit the WURD on Managing Web sites.
The following window will open, with the files on your hard drive showing on the left, and the files on the AT&T Worldnet PWP server (if any) showing on the right. Click the Publish button to upload your files.
You should see the dialog box shown below as it is trying to connect to the server.
After the connection is made, you will see this box while FrontPage is cataloging the files on the upload.att.net server.
You will see the following dialog box for all files that FrontPage found were already on the server. Click the Yes button if you wish to replace the old file with the new one. If you know that you want all of the files to be replaced, Click the Yes to All button. If you don't want a file to be replaced, Click the No button. Click the Cancel button to stop the upload.
If there are files on the upload.att.net server that aren't in the Web on your hard drive, FrontPage will ask if you want them removed. If you want the files on your Web server to be synchronized with the files on your hard drive, you should answer Yes to this question.

By removing it, you are in effect deleting the images and files from the server that no longer exist in your current Web on your hard drive. If you don't want the files to be deleted, Click the No button.
After all of the files are uploaded and the synchronization is complete, you will see the following box. Click the Done button, launch your browser, type your url in the address box and view your newly uploaded pages.

Can't Publish?

We've seen a couple of problems you can have while trying to publish to the PWP @att.net servers, and have some solutions.

Make sure that you are connected to AT&T Worldnet Service before publishing your Web pages.
If you know that you've typed in the correct e-mail ID and password, but keep getting asked for them repeatedly, try the following:
1. Open the My Computer icon and then the Dial Up Networking folder.
2. Right-click on your AT&T Worldnet connection icon and select Properties.
3. Select the Server Types tab.
4. Place a check mark in the Log on to network box.
5. Click the OK button.
6. Reconnect and try again.

If you've followed the instructions exactly and are having problems uploading, try the troubleshooting steps in our PWP FAQ.

FrontPage 2002 Tips

Compatibility

If you want your Web page to be seen correctly by the largest number of browsers, you should be sure that your FrontPage options are set accordingly.

Select Page Options from the Tools menu as shown in the graphic below.
Click the Compatibility tab and change the settings as follows:
- Browsers: Both Internet Explorer and Navigator
- Browser versions: 4.0 browsers and later
- Servers: Custom
- Remove the check mark from Enabled with Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions since they are not supported by the AT&T Worldnet PWP servers.
The technologies available to you with those settings will be checked under Available Technologies. FrontPage won't let you use anything that isn't supported by all browsers, 4.0 and later.
Note: If you wish to support 3.0 browsers too, choose 3.0 browsers and later. Additional technologies will not be available for your use.

FrontPage Extensions

You can use FrontPage to create your Web pages on your PC and then upload them, but you will not be able to use FrontPage extensions like bots and such. The PWP Web server does not currently support proprietary server extensions like FrontPage Extensions, but does offer some features that you can use. You'll find a description of these features at:
http://home.att.net/announce/index.html

If you create pages that require the following FrontPage server extensions, they will not work with AT&T Worldnet personal Web pages:

Confirmation Bot
Save Results Bot
Scheduled Include Bot
Search Bot
Scheduled Image Bot
Discussion Web
Feedback Forms
Guest Book Forms
Registration Web
Hit Counter

The following FrontPage features will work with AT&T Worldnet personal Web pages:

HTML Markup Bot
Include Bot
Substitution Bot
Timestamp Bot
TOC (Table of Contents) Bot
Frame Wizard
JavaScript Wizard
VBScript Wizard
Hover Buttons

In the same vein, active server pages (.asp) will not work on PWP, either.

For additional information on using FrontPage without the server extensions, see the following page:Using FrontPage on a Server Without FrontPage Extensions

If you need FrontPage extensions, and would like to have your page hosted on AT&T servers, you can sign up with AT&T Web Site Services at the following URL:
http://www.ipservices.att.com/

Vanity URLs

If you want to use a vanity url and use graphics from the PWP Clip Art Gallery, use a complete url to refer to them. If you don't, those graphics will not show when you're using the vanity url. The PWP instructions say that you must use a BASE REF tag when using a vanity url, but we've found that putting in a BASE REF tag when you're using FrontPage 2002 tends to mess up the links on your pages. For every graphic that you're using from the PWP Clip Art Gallery, put the following in the front of the graphic file name.

http://home.att.net

For example, if your source looks like this:
<a href="/cgi-bin/GBView?owner=emailid">
<img src="/global-images/guestbook/view_gb.jpg" border=0></a>

Change it so it looks like this:
<a href="/cgi-bin/GBView?owner=emailid">
<img src="http://home.att.net/global-images/guestbook/view_gb.jpg" border=0></a>

It isn't necessary to put the full url for all links, just the ones that refer to the PWP Clip Art Gallery graphics.

Adding PWP Features

When adding one of the PWP features to your page when you're using FrontPage 2002 and the copy and paste method, follow these steps:

Copy the code of the feature that you want to include on your personal Web page.
Using the Normal tab, place your cursor on the page where you want the feature to be located.
From the Edit menu, select Paste Special and choose Treat as HTML.
