Layers: Visibility Problems

C

CC888

I am having problems with the layers I have created on different web pages
within a new site. Even though I change the visibility for each layer in the
property box for each page, some of the layers continually show up on pages
they shouldn't (e.g. I will set the visibility for the layers on my home page
to visible, then on another page will set the layers on that page to visible
whilst making the ones on the home page hidden there, but when I then go back
to the home page, the layers from the other page will now be the layers
visible on the home page, or sometimes all the layers will be visible at
once).

What am I doing wrong (it is very frustrating and I have searched help in
the program and online extensively)?? Should I use some other element to
layout my pages other than layers or is there something I need to change to
get my layers to work?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give,

CC888

Are you using shared borders, and are the layers in the shared
border - if so, what is on one page will be on all pages using that
shared border.
Otherwise, please give a URL for the pages.

Hi Ron,

Could you please let me know how to check if I am using shared borders (I am
relatively new to using Frontpage and web design in general)?

Thanks,

I stopped using shared borders - maybe a bad move since using postioned
<div>s hasn't been as easy.

However, I think you will find a <meta> tag in the <head> section that says
something like;
<meta borders = t, l >
(for top left)
I can't quite remember the details

You will also have a subfolder named _borders with the files top.htm
left.htm. (or is it _top.htm and _left.htm ?)

Anyway search for these clues. If you can't resolve it, no doubt Ron will be
able to answer.

In Code or HTML view, the <meta> tag is similar to:

<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb">

There are variations, depending on which borders you are actually
using (tlb above refer to top, left and bottom) and whether the page
uses the default set of shared borders or not (the above does not).

If there are no shared borders on the page, the tag will either be
missing, or will be
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="none">
or
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="none, default">
