Can I change navigation text buttons to bars instead of brackets?

[Terje Trane]

I'm using nav buttons without any themes and are a bit bored about the
standard look with the brackets. Like this:

[first] [second] [third]

I would like this:

first | second | third

I have just upgraded to FP2003 and found there a new tab in Link Bar
Properties called Style. Here the choice of "[Xxxxx] [Xxxxx] [Xxxxx]" was
selected. I tried selecting the "Xxxxx | Xxxxx | Xxxxx" choice, and it
changed to what I wanted in FP, but when I look at it in IE (versjon 6) I
see the same old boring []'s.

Isn't this working?

Did you publish your changes and clear your IE cache?

Yes. Here is what I see in the _borders\top.htm page where I have put the
navbar (I have formatted it for easier reading). I see that s-btn-sep is a
bar "|".

<!--webbot bot="Navigation"
s-type="top"
s-orientation="horizontal"
s-rendering="text"
b-include-home="TRUE"
b-include-up="FALSE"
s-btn-nml="&lt;A HREF=&quot;#URL#&quot;
TARGET=&quot;#TARGET#&quot;
STYLE=&quot;{text-decoration: none;}&quot;&gt;#LABEL#&lt;/A&gt;"
s-btn-sel="#LABEL#"
s-btn-sep="&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;"
s-bar="Bars"
U-Page
S-Target
-->

But in the webpage it becomes brackets.

<nobr>[&nbsp;Hovedside&nbsp;]</nobr> <nobr>[&nbsp;<a

Run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks and file Preview in browser to see if the changes got propagated, the publish all pages using the
nav bar

nav bar

Now I understand what happens (I think).

I'm working on a site that is set up on the same webserver as another
virtual server (Apache server with FrontPage Server Extensions). I thought I
would see the correct nav bar style then, but I have to actually do a
publish (to the live web site) to see the result.

Silly, since the purpose of having two similar virtual servers (www-work and
www in this case) is to be able to see exactly what it will look like before
we publish.
