G'day

Welcome to the Mooza Blue Web Template for FrontPage 98 and 2000. 

(Written for FrontPage 2000)

This web template will work correctly in FrontPage 98 and FrontPage 2000.
However, when editing this template please note that FrontPage 2000 adds a 2 pixel transparent area to all the Components (Banner, Navigation bar, Hit Counter, Frontlook Applets etc.). FrontPage 98 does not.  

Why Bill, @#%*#!  why?

This is a Microsoft documented FrontPage 2000 "bug"

Please visit here to see what you can do to this theme by adding text or a logo to the extra graphics.  You can do it right here in FrontPage by clicking on the graphic and then selecting  A (add text) from the image editing toolbar below. (tutorial).
You can also add a Frontlook Applet

Please note: This theme's template is made from many tables who's cells have background pictures to "fill in the gaps" when a theme's components (Banner or Navigation bars) are not used and for when the page is viewed with high resolution monitors.  Please be aware that a table cell MUST have some content (text, picture, component or even 2 or more empty key spaces will do) for it's background picture to display correctly in the Netscape browser.  So........ If you remove a cell's content be sure to replace it with something else.  I  recommend that you insert the cell's actual background picture into the cell itself because then the cell will retain it's height and / or width size.  Ok.  

Frontlook Applet 

This page has a Frontlook Applet (Series 2) below the banner.   
You must have Frontlook installed on your computer to be able to use it.  Double click it to initiate it and edit it.  

If you wish not to use it just click it and delete it. The applet is contained in a table cell which has a background image.  
You can insert any of the Frontlook Applets into this table cell or you can just type some text,  insert your logo, insert a graphic or just delete it all together.  
Or you can insert the moozabappletfiller.gif graphic into the cell. 

DJScroller

Applet support for both Images and Text. Attach a URL to any line. All configuration is done with a simple ASCII text file. Insert a complete Paragraph with one command and the applet will automatically line wrap the text. Use your own background images, Display an optional scroll bar, and more .... 

Please click here for applet instructions.  

"At DecafJava you'll find an assortment of Applets, Applications, and Tips for creating your web pages. The applet collection continues to grow, and like "Dilberts" creator, I find that the best ideas come from my Email. Both DJScroller and the new version of my DJTextMenu applet came from customer inputs. Free and complete versions of all our Applets are available for download.

I've put a group of my most requested applets together and offer them in my GoldApplet collection. For those using applets from this collection, the commercial versions remove the small reference to our web page on the status bar.

If you need some help, or just want to recommend a new applet design you've always wanted , contact me at DecafJava"

Very Important 

It's very difficult to get a theme such as Mooza Blue to work within both IE and Netscape browsers.  Basically what works in one browser doesn't necessarily work in the other, especially table content.  

I had a Hell of a job getting this theme to work in FrontPage and both browsers.  It has been thoroughly tested and I GUARANTEE that it will work for you too so long as you only change the page's content and DO NOT remove any of the FrontPage Components (Banner, Navigation bar, Hit Counter, Frontlook Applets etc.) or graphics.  

Include Page 

 This web uses "Include Pages" for the top, bottom, advertisement buttons and right hand side of each page.  
An Include page is kind of like a Shared Border but much more versatile.  Here is what the FrontPage Help has to say............

Display a page on another page

You can display an HTML page on another page in the web, allowing you to maintain separate pages. For example, to display a copyright notice on several pages in a web, create one page that contains the copyright notice, and include that page on other pages in the web. When you update the copyright notice, you simply update that one page; all other pages that include the copyright page will be automatically updated.

Note   This feature only works for pages in a web.

1. In Page view, position the insertion point where you want to include a page.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Component, and then click Insert Page.
3. In the Page to include box, type the relative URL of the page to include, or click Browse to find the file.

A fantastic feature don't you think?  Not to mention making your web pages download much faster.  

I made this Web Template because this is a fairly complicated theme.

By using this template you shouldn't have any trouble creating a new web with the Mooza Blue theme and all the "extras" automatically applied for you. It will look just like this one (for those reading this on my website).
All that you have to do is add your content and add or delete any pages to make this web more suitable to your needs. 

Firstly please click File | Preview in Browser (you might have to connect to the Internet) to have a look at this web to see how it all works.

Now you can work out what pages you want to add or delete. 

How to delete a page from this web. 

Open the Navigation View by pressing the button named "Navigation" in the toolbar to the left. 
You will now be looking at this web's navigation structure in the main panel and the folders and files in the side panel.
Click on the page that you want to remove and then press Edit | Delete (X) from the toolbar. 

How to add a page to this web. 

Firstly you will notice that the titles of each page that are on the Same Level as this one in this web appear on the buttons on the navigation bar to the left.  This is because I've already dragged and dropped each page into the navigation view.   

Next we will add a new page to this web. 

In FrontPage 2000 press "File" and then press "New Page".  You will now have a long list of page templates to choose from. Click "PV Mooza Blue" or if you want to use a template page that uses "Include Pages" for the top, bottom and right hand side like the rest of this web, use the template.htm page or any existing page from this web.  Just add your own content to the page and then click File | Save As.  Type in your page title and URL and click OK.  Now go to Navigation View and add your new page to the navigation structure.  Easy!

You will notice that there is no banner and buttons, just writing.
This is because we haven't saved,  or added our new page to the navigation structure yet. 

Now save the new page and type in the URL as newpage.htm and type in the Title as New Page (you can name these anything you want).

Open the Navigation View by clicking the Navigation button on the toolbar to the left.  Then drag newpage.htm from the side panel into the main window and connect and drop it at your desired navigation level.  

That's all there is to it.  

I have made a detailed tutorial (FrontPage 98) with pictures and all on how to add new pages to the navigation structure.  It's available here http://www.paulsfrontpagethemes.com/tutorial.htm

Now double click on "New Page" in the navigation view and this will open and refresh the page in the main window.   
You will now see that the banner says "New Page" and all the buttons, including the one named "New Page" (if you placed it on the same level as this page) has been added to the navigation bar too. 

If you double click on the vertical navigation bar to the left you will see that I have set it at "Same Level", "Vertical" and "Buttons".  

Please note: The navigation bars are set at various levels throughout this web to compensate for different page's navigation level.

If you have a look at the navigation view again you will see that all the pages that are on the Same Level as this Read Me First page, their page titles appear on the left vertical navigation bar. 

This web's pages use nested tables with tilling background images so as to appear to stretch or shrink to accommodate any browser size.

I recommend that a web made with the Mooza Blue theme and template be viewed by browsers set at 600 x 800.

This web template has been thoroughly tested to work properly with both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator versions 4 and higher browsers.
