Shared Borders to Drop-down Menus

[Guest]

Hi experts,

I have a website of many many pages each with a shared border and all
created with FP XP. I want to update all pages to kind of pages with
drop-down menu type which displays contents of the web site. Is there any way
to perform this task with my FP XP? Do I need add-in? Which one? Is there
another software to do so?

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Hi Max,

Shared borders are a form of FP include and as such only include the body content of the included page. Which then causes a lot of
menuing generators problems as they place the implementation and style information in the head of the page. So they don't work when
you go to view the page.

There is also the problem of link relativity, the address of relative link out of a shared border file, _borders/top.htm is
different than a relative link in the page that the shared border is used in.

The short of it is I would not use a Dynamic Menuing system in a shared border unless your welling to do some manually editing of
the code.
