FP won't hold Shared Borders after Saving

G

Guest

I have XP Pro and Front Page. I've been using FP for a long time. Now, it
won't hold my Shared Borders on my index.htm page. It has done this for five
days. I do see a note re "Custom" settings, and have gone in and checked
Shared Borders, but it seems to revert to whatever without Shared Borders.

Also, how can I share one border for the entired site, without the rest of
the pages being altered? And, is that a sub-lower border than can be created
for subsequent pages? Is there a global change in FP. Thank you.

You can only have 1 set of the same shared border within a FP web

If they are not working in a page:

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

Thank you. I've redesigned the site - tonight! I did see the WSWG in my
Preview Browser but it wouldn't stay after I saved and closed out. I cleaned
out my Directory of files and folders, and think its all right now. But I
have not looked at the web site yet in IE per se. I am receiving a lot of
comments via email regarding the site tonight, though. So thank you very
much. I'll have Ks of questions soon, I'm certain.

Tried very hard to design a nav system and could not do it w/o Java. I don't
'do' Java. Take a look www.breastcancer-experience.net - also
www.detectcancerearly.org I founded but we have a great designer-volunteer
from Harvard on that one. ;-)
