I am using shared borders.
they display on everyy page in the browser but not the
index (home) page. Any ideas?
 
Go to Format/Shared Borders and make sure Top and Bottom
are checked in index.htm page.
 
shared borders are checked. It displays in normal mode
and preview mode
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tb, default">
is displayed in html. If I remove that it does not
display in preview or normal an returns to the display if
I copy it back in. somehow FP is not seeing it
 
So you can't see shared in borders in browser only on
index.htm? Try going to Tools/Page Options/Compatibility
Tab and be sure Custom is in Browser and Browser version.
Right click inside the top and bottom shared borders in
FP on Index.htm and be sure Border Properties shows up on
the submenu as an option. If not, then they're not there.
Save, Refresh FP, Refresh Browser. If still not there,
not sure. Sorry.
 
I just ran into this tonight when I was chenging the look
of the links bar. I tried what Tom suggested but that
didn't work. I finally went through the navigation
structure and removed the pages from the structure (don't
delete them) that weren't showing up. and then re-added
them.

Everything showed up just fine. I can't explain it. I
don't know enough about the underlying file structure in
Front Page. But it worked.

Good luck,

Brian
 
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

Also If your home page filename is wrong (or does not have the home icon in it in the Nav View) you will often not "see" a shared
border (nav components)
