Headers in CSS

L

Lisa A

I want to make the same header for all my pages using CSS, but have no idea
how to get started. I am using Front Page 2003.

I might be missing something here, but I think you are probably wanting to
use an included page for your header, and then include that page at the top
of each page in your web. The CSS will simply style your header info, it
won't repeat it.

How do I do that then? I want the same header to appear on my pages so they
will load faster.
Here is an example of someone's work that does something that I'd like to
do. The same header is on all the pages, but it looks like they use CSS.

Look at using the FP Include Page component.

I found that , but don't know how to use it? Where do I insert my banner ,
on what page?

They are using cascading styles, but they are also using includes.

1) Build a new page in FP, name it header or include_top or whatever you wish
2) Design your header on that page
3) On your other pages, with your cursor at the TOP of the page in
Normal/Design view, go to Format>Web Components>Included Content>Page (note -
wording varies slightly depending on your version of FP)
4) Browse to the page you built, and then hit OK

As far as the design - that all depends on you. You can use an included
content page with CSS, without CSS, with tables, without tables, etc.

Hope that helps,
Teri

Thanks so much!!! It works wonderfully. Can I do this and have my index
page different, but have all the other pages using the header page? I'm
just so happy this is working.

On your index page, you can just create the header directly on the page or you can create a separate
page to include.
