Navigation bar links are missing when you preview your Web pages in FrontPage 2000 or in FrontPage 2002

When you view or preview a Microsoft FrontPage 2000 or a Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Web page in a browser, navigation bar buttons and text hyperlinks may be missing from your pages. You may experience this behavior even if the navigation structure of your Web appears intact when you view your Web in Navigation view.

This behavior can occur if the navigation structure configuration file of your Web, Structure.cnf, is corrupted. This file is located in your Web's _vti_pvt folder on the Web server.

A navigation structure shows how pages in a Web are related to each other, and provides FrontPage with a way to set up navigation bars. You can set up a navigation structure for your Web in Navigation view.

A navigation bar is a set of text or button hyperlinks used for navigating a Web site. For example, a typical navigation bar may have hyperlinks to the Web site's home page and its top-level main pages. You can also display a navigation bar on every page in your Web so that visitors can quickly and easily browse through your site. You can create your own text or button hyperlinks for navigation, or you can let FrontPage generate the navigation hyperlinks for you, based on the navigation structure that you have set up in Navigation view.
