Shared Border and Table

T

Terri

Okay...If I am understanding correctly and please correct me I am wrong,
there is a 24 pixel gap between a Shared Border and table content. (I used
FP2003). I am almost done creating most of the pages of a website (another
person has been working on the Shared Border). The only thing that will be
the same on each page is the Shared Border. My pages are centered, 750x500,
maximized to 800x600. Could someone tell me the fastest and easiest way to
get rid of the gap? Also, while I don't particularly like a marquee, my boss
does want one to begin with (under the Shared Border) so that's another thing
I must consider.

Thank you for your help in advance.

You can't dump the gap.
You can switch to using includes instead give you better control too.

When you use a left or right shared border, you are stuck with a default 24 pixel gap.

Do you know where I might find easy-to-understand directions and what exactly
is this called because I am not familiar with this at all. Is this very
time-consuming per page to do? Can I copy and paste? Thanks for your help!

I went to my Shared Borders Properties and it only gives me an option of Top
or Bottom. When I select my border, on the menu bar, it shows that it is
centered positionally. I still have a gap....is there somewhere else I
should change the position? Thanks for your help.

You only have to add the area for the included content once on each page, so
if you're in the early stages of design it's a no brainer.

If you're using a table for your page design just ad a new column on the
left side (if your gonna use left vertical nav buttons) Save.

Create a new blank page...and name it something like lft_navs.htm (or
whatever you want)
You will put your navigation or whatever you want included on other pages on
this page.
Save.

Open the orignal page where you put the new table column.
Insert your cursor in that new left column.
Then Insert | Web Component | Included Content | Page, the page you want to
include is the lft_navs.htm (or whatever you named it)
ok ok ok

Now whenever you want to change anything on any of the pages that uses
includes you just change lft_navs.htm. The nice thing is this is not
restrictive like shared borders are.

There's may be other ways to do this, but I'm not up to speed on FP2003 yet.
