Using the Microsoft Script Editor

You can quickly launch the Microsoft Script Editor from within Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2002, to add text, edit HTML tags, and add or edit any Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JavaScript on your web site. You can also view your page in the Script Editor as it would appear in a Web browser.

To start using the Microsoft Script Editor, open a Web page in FrontPage 2002 and do the following:

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Microsoft Script Editor.

    Note: You must have at least one file open in Page view for the Microsoft Script Editor option to be available.
     
  2. If you are prompted to install Microsoft Script Editor, click Yes.
  3. In HTML view, edit your file and save changes in the Script Editor.
  4. To view your HTML file as it will be displayed in the browser, click the View in Browser command on the File menu.

Tip:  When you make changes to your FrontPage 2002-based web page in the Script Editor, you are actually changing a separate copy of the HTML document. These changes are now out of sync with the copy in the FrontPage copy. To sync the changes you made to the other copy of the page open in FrontPage, click Refresh in the View menu.
