Preview in Browser

FrontPage 2002/2003

Command: File > Preview in Browser

  1. Go to File > Preview in Browser.
  2. Choose the browser you wish to use to preview your page. You may click the "Add" button to add more browsers (Netscape, Opera, various versions, etc.)

     
  3. A browser will open with your web page in it. This is what your page will look like on a live server! The only exception is with forms, hit counters, and other special components that need a web server to function. You can click on the buttons to browse your web site and to see what the other pages look like. At this point, you might want to read the content in the other pages of the site because they have a lot of helpful information.
  4. You may have noticed that in FrontPage, there is a "Preview" button at the bottom of the screen. This is a "quick" preview; however, you must realize that some things may look funny in FrontPage's preview, and that rollover buttons will not work. If you want to see what your web will look like on a live server, you should always go to File / Preview in Browser.
  5. It is probably a good idea to keep the browser window open while you are working on your web. When you make changes, save in FrontPage, then go to the browser window and hit the Refresh button to reload the page with your changes.
