Understanding FrontPage Server Extensions
The FrontPage Server Extensions are a set of programs that you can use in your Web site if you create the site using Microsoft FrontPage and publish it on the Faculty Web Server (faculty.nmu.edu/yourid).
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| Hit counter | Keeps track of the number of hits (visitors) to the page. See Adding a hit counter to a page. |
| Form handler | Sends form results to a text file, E-mail address, or database. |
| Discussion form | Allows users to send comments to the page, and displays all comments. For example, you could have an online guest book in which readers could leave comments. |
| Search form | Allows users to search for items in the Web site. |
| Remote authoring and administration | Allows users with authoring rights to edit and author directly on the Web, and allows users with administrative rights to perform user and site management from a remote computer |
| Multi-user authoring | All lows multiple users to edit and author the same Web site at the same time |
* Note: If you create your Web site in a staging area, these special FrontPage features will not work until you publish your Web site to the Faculty Web Server (faculty.nmu.edu/yourid).
