Changing the shared borders depending on the current page

[Nilangini]

Hi All,

I am developing a web-site using Frontpage 2000.
I am using shared borders for all the pages on my site.
Now, I want to include a set of links on the left border which are page
specific. i.e. I want to change those links depending on which page is
currently loaded.
Is there any way to do it?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Just use an include. You can however not use an include in a shared
border as it would repeat on all pages.

Thank you very much for the reply.
How exactly I have to use the include? Sorry, I am new to Front page and do
not have much experience.
Do I have to insert a table and use an include in the leftmost column?

Is there a way to do this and also contiue using the shared borders?
i.e. can I include an html in the left border and change it on page load?

I have laready developed a web-site using the shared borders.
and I prefer not to make many changes.

Thanking you once again,
Nilangini

Use the Include Page component, Insert > Web Component > INcluded Content > Page.

before hand, put the cursor where you want the (included) page to appear.

and yes, you can use tables.

The idea of shared borders is so you can have the same content on every page,
such as a menu or title-header which doesn't change. If you change the menu,
then it will change for all pages, not just one.

But if you use the navigation feature, it will add links, depending on whether it
is a parent of child page in the hierarchy - I don't make use of the
navigation/links feature since I like to create my own links and have more
control over them.

Thank you very much for the reply.

Shared borders are FP design time tools that are hard coded to your main pages when you save a page that used them (not run time
tools)
- you can only use JavaScript or server side scripts (ASP/PHP) to dynamically change the content of the saved main pages at run time

Can you tell me what to write in a JavaScript to change the shared border
content?
sorry, if I am asking a too premitive question, but I am really new to this.
I am very conversant with C/C++ but, new to web related programming and yet
to learn a lot in this.
Thank you very much for your help.
