SYMPTOMS
When you open a FrontPage extended Web, the following error message appears in the client:
The following error messages appear in the server's system log in the Event Viewer:
CAUSE
The errors are caused by a malformed meta refresh tag in the head section of an HTML document.
RESOLUTION
The tag looks similar to the following:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;"url=home.htm">
The problem is the missing quotation mark after 15. The quotation marks are unbalanced. A correct tag reads as follows:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;url=home.htm">
or
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15";"url=home.htm">
NOTE: The number and URL above are only a reference and will be different on your system.
To find meta refresh tags on a system with many Webs or a large amount of content, do the following:
- Click Start.
- Point to Find, and click Files or Folders.
- In the Containing text field, type "refresh" (with the quotation marks).
- In the "Look in" box, point the search to your content area.
- Click Find Now.
This locates all files that have the meta refresh tag. You then need to examine each file's meta refresh tag for syntax, paying close attention to the quotation marks.
