FrontPage just plain eats it...
This is one of the reasons FP gets a bad rap, people that don't know how to use it.
I haven't used FP 2000 in a while but in 2003 all you have to do it go to the code view section and paste it.
FrontPage just plain eats it ... try Notepad XP :)
Nonsense. All you've got to do is paste the script into the HTML code using the HTML view. Better yet, paste in into a shared border or an include file so you won't have to place it manually on every page.
Definitely, notepad is the way to go.
Sure, FP can be clumsy, but it can be useful and is often bundled with Office, so why not learn it?
In FP 2000, there are three tabs at the bottom of the window: Normal, HTML, and Preview.
Click on the HTML tab, then paste in your code. Done.
Alternatively, you do this to resuse it in any of your pages: Create a separate document with just your AdSense code in it between <body></body> tags. Save it as AdSense.htm
Now open the page you want to insert it into. Then from the menu, select:
[Insert] -> [Component] -> [Include Page] and simply select your AdSense.htm as an include page. Click the Preview tab to see how it will look (you should see PSA, since Mediapartners bot will not visit your C drive). Easy.
Notepad. Seriously? Why not vi editor? How about just coding it binary?
I would have suggested that but FrontPage users tend not to know what it is ... they know what Notepad is.
Front Page doesn't design bad sites, bad web designers do.
Definitely, notepad is the way to go.
I did enough hand-coding of HTML back in the mid-1990s, thank you very much. :-)
I come from a publishing background, and I can remember when, back in the 1980s, I had to insert tags manually into text for the convenience of DTP and typesetting software. For me, using FrontPage for Web pages is like using PageMaker or Quark XPress for magazine or newspaper pages. It allows me to focus on the content instead of the process--and it's a lot easier on my middle-aged eyes.
This worked! That and the understanding that the ad will show up only in the preview view of FrontPage2002.
Thanks for the help.
As a Tool FrontPage rocks and is the best, but just because not all users know how to use it, it becomes easy to blame the software and search for something else.
.. just click on "Code" (I am using FP2003) and then you will see a wonderful text editor.. and input the AdSense code anywhere you want it, the banner won't be visible on the WYSIWYG mode, however if you were to preview the page in FP or in browser, you should be able to see the banner.
Also, you might want to look into the alternate color code in the AdSense code. This color code is normally inserted within the AdSense code where if Google is not able to find a banner for your site, it will show blank space with specified color.
Hope this helps.

Actually, I'd love to try dreamweaver, but am too cheap to pop for the separate software.

Seriously, users don't care what editing tool you use--they care about the content, product, or service that you provide.
There is no way to design a good homepage in Frontpage, sorry :-).
Let's rephrase that...

There is nothing wrong with FrontPage. Unfortunately it does have a tainted past but that has come to pass.
Actually, all versions were just fine. If the program is not configured correctly by the user and if the user does not understand basic HTML, then they will have the same problems with any WYSIWYG editor, its the nature of the beast.
This particular topic discusses an issue with not being able to see the AdSense code while in Normal View of FrontPage. This is the intended behavior as the JavaScript needs to executed at the browser or Preview level to see it.
