How to do Popup Thumbnails in FrontPage 2003
I don't normally post forum questions and answers but this one is worthy of posting here. Basically this tutorial uses FrontPage's Thumbnails and Behaviors and a bit of code removal to make thumbnail popup window in FrontPage 2003.

>---------------------------

I do this all the time with FrontPage 2003 Behaviors.

Create the thumbnail as normal and save the page.
Make a note on the original size of the image, you will need this.

The click on >Format >Behaviors
Click on the image then >Insert >Open Browser Window
Enter the path to the image and fill out the rest.
Now click on the image in design view then switch to code view, this will highlight the relevant code.
This is my code:
<p><a target="_blank" href="GE.jpg">
<img border="2" src="GE_small.jpg" xthumbnail-orig-image="GE.jpg" onclick="FP_openNewWindow('321', '225', false, false, false, false, false, false, 'GEimage', /*href*/'ge.jpg')"></a></p>
First remove this line of code: <a target="_blank" href="GE.jpg">
Then this:xthumbnail-orig-image="GE.jpg"
And finally this:</a>
Your code will look like this:
<p>
<img border="2" src="GE_small.jpg" onclick="FP_openNewWindow('321', '225', false, false, false, false, false, false, 'GEimage', /*href*/'ge.jpg')"></p>

That's it, Have Fun!!

Easily Identify The Source Of Traffic To Your Site
If your doing a lot of internet advertising or just want an easier way to identify where traffic to your site is coming from just add a simple line of code to the link: ?source=NameOfSource -
example:
?source=frontpagewiz

http://www.frontpagewiz.com/?source=google

In your stats tracking software the URL will look something like this:
/default.asp?source=google  - /index.htm?source=google

ROI - Return on Investment Calculator

ROI - Return on Investment Calculator

>>Take a look at it here

Every Site that offers a "Return On Investment" product or service should have one.

The benefits of your products and services are obvious to you, but believe me, more than half your visitors to your site probably don't have a clue on why to choose your product or service.

This ROI app uses an Access database with joined 2 tables and 3 Access queries. The first page uses JavaScript and ASP to make the calculations. The FrontPage DRW is used to display the results passing the ID from page to the next. The second page displays the results. The averages are 3 Access queries, displayed in 9 iframes.
The next page is another "impact ROI calculator, it is not linked to the database other than some results are displayed. I do plan on linking it some time in future.
The next page is the last page (for now), it displays the customers/prospects information on a guarantee form.

When you think about it, much more can be done with this app, backend database interface, stats and graphs, salesperson productivity, email list, email the results to the user and so on.
