page width reduction

fp2003 / win xp / url www.habcraft.co.uk / beginner (cannot write html)

My site is set up to be viewed best in a 800 x 600 browser, it can also be
viewed in
1024 x 768 - however in 1024 x 768 my main pages have a lot of empty space
between the content and the shared borders. Is there a way of reducing the
width of the pages to pull the shared borders closer together thereby
reducing the empty space between the content on the main page and the shared
borders.

Thank you for taking a look at my question

No.
Pages with Shared borders will always be as wide as the browser, with
left and right border content placed against the left and right edges of
the browser window. For best appearance the content should be allowed
to fill the available space, but this floating design will have some
repercussions on your page layout.

The solution is to dispense with shared borders and use Include files
or, in FrontPage 2003, a Dynamic Web Template instead.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/sb-to-dwt.htm and
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/sb-to-ic.htm


FYI, the following found in your content should be in the <head> section
of the page (between <head> and </head> in code View):

<style>
<!--
..divframe
{position:relative;overflow-y:auto;scrollbar-3dlight-color:#003399;scrollbar-base-color:#BCDEF4;background-color:#FFFFFF;}
-->
</style>
<link rel="File-List" href="index_files/filelist.xml">

<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold}
</style>

Thank you Ronx
Can you explain to me a little more about the "FYI" notes. Have you noticed
something in my site that needs correcting or does this information you have
given help reduce the empty space in my original question.

Its invalid HTML in your page. Correcting this will not help with your
layout problem.
<style> ... </style> should be in the <head> section of the page, and
never between <body> and </body>. The same applies to <link...> tags.
