Run-time components "expand" dynamically when the page containing the component is fetched by a browser, or for Form handler components when a form is submitted. This is similar to a CGI script running on the server. Authoring-time components "expand" only when the page is saved, and not when the page is fetched by a browser.

Components identified as Run-time require extensions on the Server. Components identified as Author-time do not require extensions, but may require additional files to be uploaded.

Comment

sp1.gif (49 bytes)

Authoring-time

Text that authors can view in the FrontPage Editor but that will not be displayed by a Web browser, similarly to "hidden text".
Comment text appears purple in the FrontPage Editor and retains the character-size and other attributes of the current paragraph style. Comments are particularly useful for instructions embedded in templates.

Confirmation Field

Run-time

Includes the values of fields in a form on the form’s confirmation page

Default Form Handler (also called Save Results component)

Run-time

Appends the contents of a form to a file on the server in any of eight formats (suitable for importing into databases, feeding into a mail merge with Microsoft Word, viewing in a text editor, viewing in a web browser, etc.). This form handler can also be configured to e-mail the form’s contents

Discussion

Run-time

Creates a threaded discussion group.

Hit Counter

Run-time

Monitors and displays the number of visits a page has received.

Hover Button

Authoring-time

A button on a Web page that contains an animation that is activated when the mouse moves over the button or is clicked on the button.

Include Page

sp1.gif (49 bytes)

Authoring-time

Replaced with the contents of a page in the FrontPage web. If the included page changes, it is re-included. Note that the Include Page component is not the same as a server-side include. Server-side includes dynamically include pages when the page is fetched. The Include Page Component only updates the included data when the page is saved

Insert HTML

Authoring-time

Allows the author to enter (and preserve) HTML tags. Useful for inserting tags that are not recognized by the FrontPage Editor.

Marquee

Authoring-time

Creates a horizontal scrolling text window.Page
Banner
Authoring-time
Creates a banner across the page with the page’s title. Text or images are used, based on the FrontPage theme selected for the web.

Registration

Run-time

Allows end-users to add themselves to the list of users permitted to browse a protected web by registering a username and password.

Scheduled Image

Authoring-time

Similar to the Scheduled Include FrontPage component, except that only an image is included.

Scheduled Include

Authoring-time

Similar to an Include Page component, but the inclusion is only effective during a specified time period, before and after which the inclusion is automatically disabled (or, optionally, a different page is included).

Search

Run-time

Performs a full-text search over all pages in a web, or over all messages in a discussion group.

Substitution

Authoring-time

Performs macro substitutions, allowing the values of data items (such as a company’s address) to be centralized for easy updating.

Table of Contents

Authoring-time

Displays a complete outline of all pages in a web, and optionally updates that outline whenever any page is added, deleted, or renamed within the web.

Timestamp

Authoring-time

Indicates when a page was last edited by an author or (optionally) when it was last automatically updated, in various date and time formats.
