My borders are missing

I am using FrontPage 2002 and I'm unable to view borders via IE 6 sp1. Before I publish, I always check the web locally on several machines using their IE 6 sp1. Via FrontPage, I can see the borders by selecting either the Normal or Preview panes; however, if I go to File -> Preview in Browser, the borders are again missing

To try to fix the problem, I have completed the following steps
Please help!
 
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

Awesome advice! Since I'm unable to see the borders using File Preview in Browser, and especially since I don't know how to code in HTML, would you suggest that I open the website live and publish to my local version?
 
What was the original question and responses, as many have no clue what you are responding to.

My original question was why I'm not able to see the borders when I go to File -> Preview in Browser, but I can see them via Frontpage's Preview pane. If I understood correctly, Stephan suggested that the html code was messed up. Since I'm not experienced programming html, my question then became whether or not I should attempt to fix the code or just over write my local files by republishing the internet files back onto my computer.
 
If your Online site is OK, then yes overwrite the local copy with the good online copy
But if your online site is Not OK, then it's won't help / fix anything
- you can provide a link to the Site and Problem page for us to look at it and try to tell you what's wrong w/ the html code
- or you can try one of the on line Html Code validators like at http://www2.imagiware.com/RxHTML/

Thank you so much for your offer to review the code, but I'm also happy to say the Online site is OK. I'll check out the code validator per your suggestion, and if the problem still occurs, I'll "overwrite the local copy with the good online copy." I can't thank you enough for your help!!!!
