FP: Multiple Body Tags Not Recognized by FrontPage Editor

 Last reviewed: March 18, 1998
Article ID: Q170958
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
  • Microsoft FrontPage for the Macintosh, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

In FrontPage Editor, when you insert more than one <Body> tag in the HTML source, some of the attributes do not take effect when you open the page in a Web browser.

CAUSE

Although some browsers support this functionality, the FrontPage Editor can only use one <Body> tag at a time. When the FrontPage Editor encounters a second <Body> tag, it replaces the information used in the previous <Body> tag with the information in the subsequent <Body> tag.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:

  • Specify all of the attributes you want to use by using a single <Body> tag.

    -or-

  • Specify changes to the page elements--such as color, font, background, sounds, and so on--by clicking Page Properties on the File menu.
