You could insert the menu as FP Include into the DWT non-editable region. Note: The page to be
included my have the default HTML tags that are generated when FP creates a new page, and all JavaScript functions must be after the opening <body> tag in the page to be included in the DWT. -- ============================================== Thomas A.

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't sure if you meant that any .htm include file
must have the tags that FP creates for the include to work, ie. FP strips them off. I tried the include with just the html & javascript (included after <body> tag as you suggested) actually needed to make the final page technically correct. All looks OK in the .dwt file in design view but does not appear when I preview the .dwt in the browser (IE6) nor in the .htm file that I attach the .dwt to. I just see the Webbot include statements. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to include the .htm as a .dwt file? I read somewhere that include only works if you include like into like file formats. I checked that my localhost site has FP server extensions in place. -- TIA The Jointer "Thomas A. Rowe" wrote: > You could insert the menu as FP Include into the DWT non-editable region.

1. Make sure you do not have Optimize HTML enabled when you publish.
2. The page to be included must be a standard HTML page (use the FP new page command) with the normal set of HTML tags, and have either a .htm or .html file extension and then you would insert your JavaScript after the opening body tag, as the FP include component only includes the content that is between the body tags in other pages. -- ============================================== Thomas A.

Thanks again for the prompt reply. Everything is now working correctly via
localhost on my machine. I haven't tried publishing to the web yet. I noticed that whatever you put between the <body> tags in the included file gets included verbatim. I used this to insert my own <body> tag for pre-loading the button images by omitting the <body> tag from the file that I was including into. -- TIA The Jointer "Thomas A. Rowe" wrote: > 1.

Removing the <body> tag from the container file, make it a invalid file when you open it directly in
FP, so may lead to problems with editing the page in the future. -- ============================================== Thomas A.
