FP2000: Shared Borders Do Not Appear in a Web Page (265047)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000
This article was previously published under Q265047

SYMPTOMS

When you view a page in Microsoft FrontPage you see the shared borders. However, when you view the page on the Web, the shared borders may be missing.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the document is missing the body tags (<body> and </body>). FrontPage uses tables to create shared borders. It parses all of the HTML in between the body tags and places it in one cell in the table. If the document is missing body tags, the shared borders do not work as expected.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, replace the body tags in the document. To replace the body tags follow these steps:
  1. Start FrontPage and open the page that you want.
  2. Click the HTML tab on the page window.
  3. Type <body> directly below </head>.
  4. Type </body> at the end of the document, just before </html>.

MORE INFORMATION

A shared border is a region that is common to one or more pages in a FrontPage Web.

For more information about creating and using shared borders, click Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Help on the Help menu, type set shared borders for a page in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
