The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you use a Liquid Motion animation, you may experience either of the following symptoms:

  When you publish your animation to an open page in a FrontPage Web, the files publish to the Web but the animation does not appear on the page. -or-   When previewing a page containing a Liquid Motion animation in a Web browser, you see the following message: An Error has occurred in the script on this page. Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: Syntax error Code: 0 

NOTE: These behaviors occur only after running the Liquid Motion WebBot by double-clicking it, moving the page in your Web, or publishing your Web.

= CAUSE =

Liquid Motion animations do not function correctly in the shared borders section of the page. The shared borders section of your page is actually stored in a separate HyperText Markup Language (HTML) file in the _borders folder of your Web. Because this folder is hidden by default, your HTML files are stored in different folders. The Liquid Motion animation is written to the shared border files and the animation uses relative references to the animation media. Because your HTML files and the shared border files are in different locations, the animation cannot find the media, and the animation does not run.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this behavior, publish your animation to the main body of your Web pages, not the shared borders section.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
