how do I change elements on the index page only

BrianB

I would like to have the banners on all my pages within the website saying
different things. but whenever I try to change the text in the banner on the
index page only, it makes a global change, and I have to go back and redo all
of the banners. how do i make changes to the first page without it changing
all the rest?

thanks,

bri

This is just the way the Link Bar components work. They assume you always
want to refer to the same page by the same name. Less confusing.

If you want more flexibility, consider using some other kind of button, such
as a FrontPage 2003 Interactive Button.

You have to insert individual banners outside of the share border or remove the top share border and
insert the your banner.

Bri,
Make your pages not use the Top shared border, Format/Shared Borders
deselect top border, choose apply to all pages.
You can now make a different banner for each page, but do not forget your
navigation requirements, so familiarise yourself with inseting navigation
bars or buttons.

thanks. i might be a bit dense ;-) and maybe you already answered my
question but... I am not sure you understand my problem. I am not putting in
a link or a button. i am just just trying to changing the text in the banner
on the index page. for example, if i go to page 2 and change the text in the
banner from 'welcome' to 'buffalo bill', it only changes the banner on page
2, the homepage remains as it was. however if i change the text in the banner
on the homepage (index.htm) from 'welcome' to 'homepage', for instance, then
the page 2 'buffalo bill' banner text changes to 'homepage' as well. so, some
pages can be changed independently but apparently the homepgage changes are
global. is there a way around this?

thanks squared,
b

I use frames and change the heading on the frame at the top (the ''heading"
frame) with a function in the other frames
<body onload="getHeading()">
<body onload="getHeading('About Us')">
etc.

function getHeading(heading)
{
if (heading == null)
heading = "Trevor and Carole's Home Page"
top.frames['heading'].document.getElementById("banner").innerHTML =
heading
}

In the "heading" frame
<span class="head2" id="banner">...</span>

WFM (works for me)

It's probably because it is within the shared borders - which display the
*same* content on every page where the shared border is set on....

So you just need to put your banner outside of the shared border space in
the normal area of the page.
