Mystery of the broken links

E

Erin Coppersmith

I have had my web page up for 6 months and have never had
a problem with it. It is saved on a server. When it was
updated this month, suddenly the links side bar and top
banner are gone. When I look at the page through
FrontPage, everything seems fine--even through preview.
But as soon as the system administrator opens it, or if I
save it to a disc, the banners are gone. When I view the
reports, it appears like nothing is wrong--no broken
hyperlinks, no slow pages. Any suggestions??

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)
- you actually don't need them in a live web (unless you are going to edit the site online in FP)

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 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
