Definition of Shared Border HTML Codes

G

Guest

Does anyone have a list of definitions of the shared border codes found in the HTML line labelled "Microsoft Border"? I'd like to know specifically what all the options for "Content" are. I've seen "b", "t", "l",etc and know they refer to bottom, top, left, etc. But what other options are there? For instance, what does "default" do differently than the others?

Options for Content in Microsoft Border meta tag are:
none - no shared borders on the page
there may be any combination of 1 or more of
t - top border
l - left border
r - right border
b - bottom border

default indicates that all new pages will inherit the content shown, and
existing pages with the default attribute will be affected by the All Pages
option in the shared borders dialogues.
Pages without the default attribute have manually added shared borders, and
will not be affected by the All Pages options in Shared Borders dialogues.

Thanks Ronx for the definitions. I understand that default adds 16 pixels of space to the border edge, while showing the individual letter designations adds zero pixels. Can you (or anyone) confirm this? I want to have my border flush against the screen edge.

1) none of the shared border tags affect page margins (to edge of window/screen)
- only the body tag (and CSS/ DHTML) affects page margins
2) left & right shared borders will add a 24 px hidden spacer cell between the border and your page content

The default attribute makes absolutely no difference to the page layout.
Shared borders add a 25 pixel space between the Left border and page
content, and a 25 pixel space between page content and Right Border, but no
settings, default or otherwise, affect the page margins (screen edge to
border).
Check the page margin settings. In FrontPage Normal view, right click the
page, choose Properties, then margins tab (Advanced tab in FP2003)
If you are using a theme the margins tab will not be available, you will
have to modify the theme (and save as with a new name)
