    Don't know what to do. I have a website with over 60 pages and I used a theme in Front Page on the entire web. Well everything was working fine until yesterday when the index.htm page went white. I tried modifying the theme with a different background and color but still no luck. In the Front Page program when I preview the index.htm everything looks ok but when I copy to the document folder it comes out white, no color, only on the index.htm page. When I copy to document folder I am copting the entire web not just the one page so all the folders including the Theme folder gets copied. Anybody have any suggestions. I am at wits end.
    Thanks
    Sal Fantasia

    does the theme which frontpage creates is a simple CSS file ? because if that is the case it might be that you are having the wrong path of the CSS file from the index.htm

    view the source of the index.htm file and near the top check for the line
    <link rel= "stylesheet ", type= "text/css ", href= "something goes here" />

    in the part where you have "something goes here" check the path and see whether it is pointing to the real location of the file. Otherwise amend that line to the correct path.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did not elect to use the CSS style in my themes. I have "vivid colors" "active graphics" and "background picture" selected. I use the loose-gesture theme and I have changed the colors and type styles on it and saved it as loose-gesture1. All pages except the index.htm show the proper background. index.htm shows a blank white background. I looked at the code on the index.htm and another page and this is what is there:

    index/htm

    <meta name= "GENERATOR" content= "Microsoft FrontPage 4.0 ">
    <meta name= "ProgId" content= "FrontPage.Editor.Document ">
    <meta name= "Microsoft Theme" content= "copy-of-loose-gesture1 111, default ">

    page1.htm

    <meta name= "GENERATOR" content= "Microsoft FrontPage 4.0 ">
    <meta name= "ProgId" content= "FrontPage.Editor.Document ">
    <meta name= "Microsoft Theme" content= "copy-of-loose-gesture1 111, default ">

    The problem is caused by the fact that your index page lacks <body></body>
    opening and closing tags.

    This is on another page but not on the index page:
    Code:
    <body background= "_themes/copy-of-loose-gesture1/lootextb.jpg" bgcolor= "#FFFFFF" text= "#000080" link= "#000080" vlink= "#000080" alink= "#000080 "><!--mstheme--><font face= "Times New Roman ">

    Wtg Tony;

    I was looking at the themes line and never thoughts of looking there. In actuality someone the <body> tag got deleted. The rest wasn't necessary because the Theme folder has the background jpg in it but you were right there was no <body> tag. I feel so stupid. Thank you very much for your help.
