Because you did it in FrontPage which will require your created website to have certain file dependancies other then just the .htm files and images.

Throw FrontPage away and learn HTML so that you can write it by hand and avoid such headaches. FrontPage is a terrible editor.

WYSIWYG in general really can't be trusted with internet scripting/markup. The problem is that most editors follow standards that some browsers don't, and none of them ever really cares about the standards put down by the W3C.

You're much better of writing it yourself - then you KNOW what you get, you just won't see it till you open your browser
