Banners and manage able areas.

Ok. I cannot figure this out. I have been searching for 2 hours and I know it
is a simple process.

I want to have 3 files called
banner.html
index.html
footer.html


The banner i can put in my banner.jpg and my menu and all that jaz.

in the index i can type in all my information.

and in the footer i can do the name as by banner.html page.


What i am trying to do is make sure that my banner.html and my footer.html
are on every page so that for me to make a change to a banner or to a footer
then all i have to do is update either of those two files and they update
all of my pages.

How do i set it up and make it all come together on my index.html page.

i am using frontpage 2003. Thank you so much for your help.

I do not want to use frames because of the SEO problems.

That sounds like the included page in web component.

Are you missing a page path in any of them? Are they coming from the exact
same web or subweb? They can't be used from outside webs.

All three pages have one thing in common - they are missing the <body> tag.
The include page includes everything between <body> and </body> - if <body>
is missing, there is nothing to include.
Also note that none of the styling and/or javascript in the <head> of the
included pages will be included in the main pages. (I did not check if you
have already done this.)

Are you saying that FP does not mark all pages as altered (and therefore
does not update them when you click on "Publish Web site")?

If so, I have also had that problem with FP.

Interestingly I found that the way to solve it was to ALWAYS amend the
footer (even if it is just by adding an extraneous blank character). It is
the last thing on every page and it seems that amending it will update all
the pages in which it is included.

Don't ask me why !!

If you have FrontPage extensions running on the server, and you Publish the edited include page with HTTP (not FTP) then the include page should propagate to all pages that use it.

If you use FTP to publish, then it will not propagate on the server, and you have to publish all pages that use it.

With FTP, the only way to upload ONLY the include page is to use Server Side Includes (SSI). This requires a server that supports SSI (most do), and the include page is constructed differently - no <head> section, no <body> tags, no <html> tags.

Also, with most servers, the page extension has to be changed to one of .asp, .shtm, .shtml, or a few others. In particular, .htm or .html will not work with SSI (except on a few servers that have been configured that way - and these will not support FrontPage extensions).

Mike expressed precisely :
Ok now they are showing up. But when i go back
into header1.htm and make a change and upload
it. It does not make the change to all the the
pages that are pointing to it unless i upload
each and everyone?
