IIS - FrontPage 2002 crashes when embedding a Google Map

Asked By PCLIVE

24-Mar-09 01:25 PM

I copy the code to embed a google map into the HTML view in FrontPage 2002.
Then I switch to Normal view.  FrontPage crashes.  As long as I stay in html
view, it is fine.  I can also save the file and then view it in IE with no
problem.  However, if I reopen that file with FP2002  and try to access
normal or preview view, FP2002 crashes.  I've reproduced this on several
computer.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

yah, you probably pasted some junk into the html or you deleted a needed tag
somewhere.

Try pasting into Notepad first, then copy from there and paste into
your page. That'll remove a lot of extraneous junk.

Are you assuming this, or did you successfuly embed a Google Map into
FrontPage 2002 and then view the "Normal" tab without issue?  The code that
I pasted into FP2002 came directly from Google.  Here is the code:

marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient&q=1600+pennsylvania+ave+nw+washington+dc&ie=UTF8&split=0&gl=us&ei=LUzKSabII6LnnQfZ_5SYAw&z=14&iwloc=addr&ll=38.907999,-77.032442&output=embed"><br

style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>


I did, however, try pasting into notepad first and then copying from there
and pasting into FP.  The result when attempting to view the "Normal" tab is
exactly the same.  It crashes and completely closes FP.

Paul

I've never had an issue embedding a Google Map...still don't.

You may want to post the entire page of html here.

Try running Steve's FP Cleaner and run it with FP closed.

Maybe he should paste the code into notepad first, then copy it to FP. FP
has been known to mangle code when copied direct.

He says he is tried that.
But I just did it without pasting into np and had no problem - although I
would not recommend not.

Again, below is the exact code as I paste it into the HTML tab of FrontPage
2002.  Additionally, I have removed all other code form the HTML tab so that
only what I have listed below is there.  I can go to the Preview tab with no
problem.  But if I go to the "Normal" tab, FrontPage crashes.  Again, this
is specifically "FrontPage 2002"  I have not tried it on other versions of
FrontPage.  But if you're saying that it works fine for you, please verify
the FP version.  I've tried this from several computers and the result is
the same.  Please note, if I don't go to the "Normal" tab and I just save
the file, I can open it in IE with no issues...it is only in FrontPage that
I have the problem.
