Navigational Structure / Publishing problems

Dear all,

I'm not sure if this is the write newsgroup, but ...

I've been trying to update the web-site for the local orphanage
(www.bedaya.org.my) via FP2002.

This whole project started on my humble Win98 and FP2000, then I've upgraded
to an XP and FP2002. Without reading any on-line docs, I've simply reloaded
the website from HD (via C:\Inetpub\xxx) into FP2002. It seemed OK.

Did various changes, and tried to update the web-site version (via 'Publish
web'), and kaBoom! My shared borders (top, left and bottom) all now contain
the page's text! So now there are 4 main text repeated, thrice in the
borders, and once where it should be.

I thought maybe FP2002 did a terrible job at merging the navigational
structure (NS), so I tried 'publishing' EVERYTHING all over again and asked
it to 'overwrite' the existing NS. Took well over 4 hours on a slow 56K
connection, and the result was the same.

Then I've decided to transfer everything via FTP, including any
"_<directory_name>". (though this time was clever enough NOT to resend the
time-consuming image files). Nope, no joy.

Been browsing thru. newsgroups and somebody suggested that there may be
compatibility issues between FP2000 and FP2002 and suggested "import". Yup,
did that, reconstructed the entire NS, re-publish, and... uhuh, the same
result.

Questions:

1. One thing I've noticed, my "default.asp" file size was different between
the one on the HD and the one on the web. Is this a result of processing by
the FP SE?

2. Is there any way that I can use FTP to obliterate any existing NS (this
is beginning to sound like a disease) on the web-site? So that I can
re-publish it.

3. Everytime I reloaded the web-files from HD, and view it's HTML, something
always puts an extra '<body>' tag just after an existing '<body>' tag. Is it
a bug? Norton couldn't find any virus.

I hope you guys can help.

Sincerely,
taiff
