Unrelated to themes
Your problem is malformed html preventing the shared borders from being applied at
http://dpfwiw.com/index.htm
- missing <body> tag after </head> in
</head>
<div align="left">
and </body> tag before </html>
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

| Tom, as I mentioned I first got it to work by applying the theme to a page,
| then the shared border magically appeared (the disign-time code was
| installed to the page source file).
|
| THEN, because that worked, I tried applying shared borders TO THE ENTIRE
| SITE; effect was only the meta tag in the source for EVERY PAGE.
|
| THEN, because it worked on the individual page, I applied a theme TO THE
| ENTIRE SITE. But it did not make the shared borders appear, though it did
| show the theme's styles now. On all pages.
|
| ALL pages now show the shared border in editor's preview. But none show the
| border when browsing to the IIS web.
|
| NOW I can add and remove the shared border to this page and it works fine
| (actually puts the HTML code in the source file). But does not work for any
| others, with or without Theme!! Just like /advice.htm, I apply the shared
| border and it only adds <meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tb"> and no
| HTML content (when opened with notepad).
|
| I have tried changing the "top.htm" file in _borders, and saving it. Seems
| to do a lot of work when I do (border is thoretically applied to the whole
| site). AND I have tried modifying the shared border while editing a page.
| Upon saving this also seems to do a lot of work.
|
| I think I am remembering now whay I left FP behind in favor of SSI/XSLT/CSS
| . You are never quite sure what is going to actually happen. I inherited
| this from someone else, and thought it was an opening to get re-engaged with
| this product.
|
| Thanks. Any other ideas?
