Page Name Appears in Banner

[Guest]

I created a new theme with a custom banner. Its appearing on the pages, but
the navigation name of the page is appearing in the same space. How do I get
rid of that? This is an intranet page on my company's server, so it's not
public.

Change to Navigation View and edit there.

in folders view you can right click the offending page, chose properties and
change the page title there. this should change what the banner says.

Neither suggestion solved my problem. The page name appears to be overlaying
the banner. This is my first time using Front Page, but I assume from my
reading that this name appears there automatically as some kind of heading.
It would be okay if that was beneath my banner, but I don't want it
overlaying it. Can I adjust where it appears? I don't see anything in the
coding, but there must be something I am missing.

You need to remove the FP Banner component from the top shared border, and insert your custom banner
image directly into the top shared border.

Okay. I didn't have the shared borders option, so I activated it and
inserted my banner graphic. Then, I had two banners. So, I took the banner
out of the theme I had applied. Now I have no banner graphic. The shared
border one shows up in Design view, but nowhere else.

Could my problem be that my banner graphic shouldn't go across the whole
page? I do a print newsletter for my company and my website is for an online
version of updates that will appear between issues of the print version. So,
I wanted my banner to look like my newsletter masthead to tie the two
together. Eventually, I want to put the newsletter online and I wanted to
keep the same look.

You need to apply the shared borders to all pages or insert your image directly in the top of all
pages manually.

Shared borders is applied to all my pages. Since this did not work, I turned
that off and tried inserting the graphic and it will not appear. Other
graphics in the same folder and in the same document with the same coding
appear just fine. My banner graphic is saved as a jpg file. Does that have
any bearing?

Can you provide URL to the page on the internet?

It's an intranet page for a small bank - on our local server only.

Things seemed to be going fine as long as I was writing the html code
myself. It's when I tried to make things look nicer by using the Front Page
features and choosing a theme and making a navigation chart so I could have
cute link bars and a banner that appeared on each page. The troublesome word
that appears over my banner graphic is the name that appears on the
navigation view. That's what I want to get rid of or work around. Can I do
that without loosing the nice link bars? OR is it just that if I have the
navigation view, I have the label at the top of the page period?

With a page open in Normal / Design View, you should see the banner component in the top shared
border, select it and delete it and then in it place insert your banner image.

If you place your banner image in the theme, then it would need to be blank, so that FP can add the
text from navigation view to the image.

I did that. I think we close. I do not see the page name anywhere.
However, I do not see the shared border, either. I only see it in Desdign
View and it's just the top of the banner like it's peeking over the top of my
document. What do I do so I can see it on the intranet?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

You are working in an open web when you apply the shared border, just double checking?

Go to Tools | Web / Site Settings | Advanced and enable viewing of hidden directories, then you will
see a folder called _borders, open this and then open your top.htm page, do you see your banner
image?

My web site is open. Is that what you mean?

Yes. In top.htm design view, you see the banner tiled down the page. Coding
looks like this

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"><title>Shared Top Border</title><meta name="Microsoft
Theme" content="none">
</head><body background="../images/updatebanner.jpg">

</body></html>

I really appreciate all the time your giving me today. I need to get this
thing up and tested today so we can go live on Monday. Time sensitive info!

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Ok, take the banner out of the background and place it directly on the page.
