Borders

[Geoff]

I have a website which has a top panel & a lefthand panel which are repeated
on all pages. The left panel contains buttons, tne top one the company
logo.

I created the web in FP2000 using shared borders, wrongly thinking that once
uploaded to the web, if I changed a button on one page (for example) it
would update the button on all pages.

I now see that this only happens whilst still in FP and once ir is uploaded,
all the info in the borders is actually transferred to each page.

What is the best way to achieve what I want? Should I use CSS or PHP?

Geoff.

You might want to post this question in one of the FrontPage groups. There
is a FrontPage MVP that helps out her occasionally, but he might not notice
this post.

Yep whatever you put in a shared border will appear in every page you have
shared borders enabled on. The bad part is thats all the choice you
get...borders on or borders off...you can't have differents styles.

What you are trying to do should work, you must have missed a step.

A much better way, but take a bit longer to set up, is using "page includes"
or "includes" you have to set up the area you want the include to go into
for every page, but once you do you have much more control as to what goes
in there...and you can mix, match included content. So if you have 30 pages
with include #1 in them you only have to change that include in one
spot..the page that is being included. It's very easy, though a tad hard to
explain.
