included page problem

A

amg

I have created a page called navleft.htm, which I want to
insert as an included page across various pages in my
site. It consists of HTML code that uses CSS in the page
it will be embedded in. This page, and the pages it is to
be included in, are in the root folder. (however, the
same thing happens in sub-webs).

The problem: it looks correct in FP2002 preview mode, but
when I publish (either by right-click single file or even
the entire site in desperation!), the included content
doesn't show up in the published page (IE6).

Seems simple enough, is there something I'm missing? TIA.

Shared borders and Include Pages are design time tools w/ the content (inside the <BODY> tags) of the Shared Border or Include page
"embedded" or included as html in your pages when you save any of the file(s) using them (or save the borders / include pages
themselves)
- you actually don't need them in a live web (unless you are going to edit the site online in FP)

FP converts your page(s) to a series of tables to include the Shared borders, (which are really just a special case of Include
pages)
But FP can not build those tables if either your shared border page content or main page content has illegal html or broken tag
pairs
- usually due to missing </body></html> tags, or unmatched table / cell tags (unclosed table / cell tags), or some other unclosed
html block element

If you can see them using File Preview in Browser they will publish in as part of your pages

If you can't see them using File Preview in Browser, it's because FP can not build the included content tables, so you need to
validate and correct your broken html

The page I created was only an HTML fragment. It isn't
clear in the Help Section what kind of files are "legal"
included pages, so I thought "Included Content" could be
straight text or HTML, and that the content would "flow"
in at the insertion point. At any rate, I added BODY and
HTML tags and voila! it published as intended. Thanks
again-- I was pretty vexed by that! amg
