SYMPTOMS
When you save your page in FrontPage Editor, you may receive the following
error message
"http://localhost/myweb/<FileName>.htm" is not a valid page URL for the
current web. Do you want to save the page with this URL?
where <FileName>.htm is the file name of your file. The error may be
different depending on the location of your web.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you save a file with an extension that is not
recognized by FrontPage as a text or HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
formatted file.
FrontPage recognizes the following extensions as text or HTML file formats:
- htm
- html
- shtm
- shtml
- htx
- asp
RESOLUTION
Save your page by using one of the extensions listed in the "Cause" section
of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Web servers recognize file types by their extension. If the server does
not recognize the extension, it may not serve the file correctly or the Web
browser may interpret it incorrectly.
If you save a file with an extension other than one of those listed in the
"Cause" section of this article, FrontPage will not recognize it as an HTML
document. Such features as themes, shared borders, hyperlink verification,
and spelling will not be applied to the document if it is not recognized as
HTML.
