Shared Borders Not Displaying

M

M. Lawson

Recently tweaked my shared borders for a site I'm trying to launch.
When viewed in FP2002, the shared borders show up fine.

Using IE or FireFox locally to view the pages only show the content
page, not the left or top shared borders.

Cleared the cache's in both programs, and even dumped temporary internet
files, etc.

Any ideas on why they aren't showing up?

Thanks!

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

Stefan,

Yes -- the pages load fine in preview mode within FP2002.
Unfortunately, they don't work when the site is viewed locally with IE
or Firefox.

Any ideas on why this would be? The site isn't published, so it's not
as though the top and left html files aren't being published.

Really has me baffled..

Thanks!

Reread my Post
Design View or Preview is not the test
File Preview in browser is the test for broken SB due to broken html
