    webbot comment tag in my html source code

    Hi. I have a problem with a Web page that was created by someone else in FrontPage. Apparently the mouseover drop down menu (I don't know the technical term for it) has shifted (moved further up) and I don't know how to fix it. When I look at the code this is what I get:

    <!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="nav.ht ml" TAG="BODY" -->

    There is no location for me to adjust. Please help.

      From what I gather, this is FrontPage only stuff and the file it is including is nav.html, but I guess you know that. But that's content and I don't know if it would affect the menu. Got link?

          Yes. Here's the URL to the actual Web page.

          http://adminservices.clayton.edu/ps/rs/newsletter.html


          And here's the URL to the nav page:

          http://adminservices.clayton.edu/ps/rs/nav.html


          I would appreciate any help you can provide.

          Thank you.

              This looks like the typical bad code FrontPage produces. It's rather antiquated. I'm leaving in a few minutes and won't be back till tomorrow. But you'll need a doctype if you want this to work in all browsers. See the stick at the top of this forum and use the html4.01 transitional one.

                  You really don't need to include your code that way there are several other ways to do this. From looking at the post above if you are using front page you should consider re-coding the page. Front page is notorious for heinous code (as stated above) and longer than needed messy code. If you want to get rid of that webbot junk use <? include("nav.ht m") ?> or <!--#include virtual="insert thisfile.html" --> (These are server side commands)

                  HTH,

                              If you are allowed to experiment with that page, then change this part:

                              To this:

                              And see what happens.

                                  I tried that and when I switched over to design view - it was just a blank page.

                                      Well, I didn't look at how it would affect the rest of the code so I'll look at it later.
