Using edit button in IE 6 to edit Intranet pages in Frontpage

Important.

[ram98cs32]

FrontPage 2003 will have to take a web address like
[intranet...] and open the actual source code file (not the HTML output), if the website is in a local network shared directory. I have a local network shared directory that has
the source code copy of the webpage hosted on my web server. FP opens [intranet...] rather than \\intranet\marketing\test.aspx
But, FP is messing up with this.When I press the edit button in IE6.0,I noticed Iam actually working on "live" pages; i.e., you are editing the very page that is on your web site. so after I make the
changes and save the original file gets overridden and the whole website is messed up.Has anyone had such problems how do I solve this problem? i.e How
to teach FP to open the actual source code file (not the HTML output)?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanx a million.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld ram98cs32.

I keep my webs on a completely different machine and then publish to the server. If you're opening and editing files on the live server then they are going to overwrite the existing content.

In your case:
\\intranet\marketing\test.aspx
http://intranet/marketing/test.aspx
These are both the same address when accessing the files locally. It would be best for you to make a separate staging area where you could do development testing if you don't want this to happen.
