One of my pages has lost the shared border. I went to format, shared borders
and made sure the box was clicked with all pages, but it still it gone. Have
no clue what happened. How can I get it back?

The shared border shows up on the preview and normal view in FP, but when I
look at the page in IE the border is not there. It is still on every other
page. OMG! What to do?

Check the HTML in the offending page for broken tags - missing closing
tags, incorrect nesting of elements, etc.
If you cannot find anything, post a link to the published page here.

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

thanks Ron and Stephan. I did have a missing </head> tag put that in and
still the border shows in normal and preview, but does not show up on the
website page in IE. The bottom shared border was missing last night, but it
is back now, the left border is still not there.

thanks so much for your time.

The page is lacking an opening <body> tag, and there is an extra
</head> tag near the bottom of the HTML code, as well as a stray </h2>
that should not be there. The <body> tag goes immediately after the
first </head>, the second </head> should be deleted.
