IMHO shared borders are easier (it's plain html) since they are design time tools,
but you will have to publish all pages affected
- they are not runtime like server side includes

| I'm trying to use the shared borders as a method of
| updating nav and footers across hundreds of screens. Is
| the shared borders concept a good idea here or should I
| look at a Coldfusion template (I have limited CF
| experience but I can make it go). The shared borders
| concept is easier for me...unless it does not work across
| browsers/platforms.
