One page doesn't display shared borders

M

Malcolm Walker

Using FrontPage 2003 I am testing new additions to a Web site at
www.mewalker.co.uk/ that uses shared borders and has done since 1999. I
have been told that includes are `better' but shared borders have given
me good service so why change on a tried and reliable site? That is
until I introduced a Google map to replace tracings of the location of
the subject of the site.

On the page with the Google map only the map and text I added are
displayed on the Web site. The shared borders are not displayed
although they are present in Design view but not when viewed in my
browsers (IE7 and Firefox). I wonder if this is not a FrontPage issue -
or is it? I would very much appreciate it if the reason can be identified.

On the Welcome page click on the link `SGC location map' to see the page
in question. Every other link will take you to a page that displays the
shared borders.

Open the page in Code view
The 2 Tags

<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="topovcrpd 1011, default">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default">

Are in the middle of your page and belong in the <head> section before </head>

The page needs attention.
The meta tags that control the theme and shared borders are halfway down
the page content (in code view), and should be located just before the
</head> tag.

You also have 2 <div>s with the same id value. This is illegal HTML.
Change the second <div id="map" ... > to something else, such as <div
id="map2" ... > .

IMO, includes are better than shared borders. They are more flexible -
can be placed anywhere in the page and can be changed for some pages.
But if shared borders work for you, there is no reason to rush to
change them.
