Shared Borders

Hi,

I have a FrontPage 2000 site that uses top, left, and bottom shared borders.
I am switching to a shopping cart written in Active Server Pages that has an
htm header w/left navigation and an htm footer. They both have some asp code
in them.

The cart has several pages that aren't just cart pages. I would like to have
the shared borders, in the "regular" pages, look the same as the cart header
and footer. If possible, I would also like to have the asp pages header and
footer just be shared borders, so that I could use them or not per page.
Also, with shared borders, you can have different meta tags and titles per
page, and with the asp borders, it takes a lot of extra coding.

Is this possible?

Thanks, Jill

OH! If they can be used as shared borders, they would have to be able to
have regular asp pages in the content area.

First, I would place the cart application in a subweb.

As far as changing the ASP includes to shared borders, it depends on how the
cart application was written and what the ASP includes provide, since only
the content between the <body></body> tags of shared borders or FP Includes
are included in a page, so if the content of the ASP include must be loaded
before the head section of the page, then shared borders or FP Includes will
not work. You can also assign titles and meta tags with a minimal amount of
effort using ASP/VBScript, either by using a additional include page or
placing them in a database or building them from the content of the
database.

If you place ASP code in your shared borders and you leave the cart
application as part of your root web, you will have to rename all of your
pages in your web to .asp to avoid errors.
