Shared Borders question

J

Jim Grebe

I have an existing web site, and I have added a
shared "TOP" border to all pages.

While in the FrontPage editor, the shared borders work
properly in PReview mode, and I can see in the HTML where
the border code appears.

When I try to view pages in INternet Explorer, the
borders do not appear.

If I create a web using the wizard, the shared borders
work just fine -- so I am doing something wrong, I just
do not know what.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I am at my wit's
end.

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)

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
