Please tell me there's an easier way

[Linda]

Hi. May be a silly question...but is there a way to add
something to every page of my site without opening each
web page and bringing it in to front page? I'm using
FP2002. For example....if I wanted to add a poll to each
page.....or a specific link.... is there an easy way to
put that on every page of my site? I sure hope so.
Thanks so much....

You should be able to do it with an include page.
For example, create a page containing only the poll.
Then on one of the other pages create a table.
Put the mouse cursor in the table, then on the toolbar click
Insert > Web Component > and then select Included content.

For example, the links list on the left of this page is an include:
http://www.95isalive.com
the include is
http://www.95isalive.com/nav.htm

Thanks Steve....
I will sure give that a go. I'm curious however, if that
would work with navigation....ie a nav bar?
Feel free to have a look see at what I'm dealing with.
I'm really anxious to find ways to start making things a
little more simple and quick now.... The site is getting
a bit large to bring every page in for something
minor...know what I mean?

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me
Steve. How refreshing is that?

[Steve Easton]

Very refreshing. Thank you

As for placing the type navigation you're
using in an include page, I don't *think* it
will work due to the way FrontPage dynamically
creates the navigation.

I'm going to have to ask some one else to be sure.

Steve,

That will still require Linda to open every page and insert the include
component.

To include the include component, you could use F&R to add the web bot code
or write a macro to insert it.

The only thing that will automatically add a section to all pages in a FP Site w/o opening each them manually would be to apply
shared borders (Format Shared Borders)

Oops, didn't look at it that way.

Once I put an include in a shared border and it worked great. I had to add it to
the _borders/left.htm file manually but thats all. Then it is just one change
and it makes it to every page.
Perhaps using the _right.htm border would be better because nothing will
dynamically update that border if there is no navigarion components in it.
