Frontpage Headaches

Edits to main page result to loss of shared borders on it.

Any time I make an edit to the pages in the root directory of my site, Frontpage replaces the top, left, and bottom shared borders with copies of the page. In other words, when viewed in a browers, it shows the body of the page in the top border, the left border, the body, and also the bottom border. Any ideas?

You may not care for this suggestion, but I always recommend staying far away from the shared borders in FP. They may be one of the main complaints regarding spaghetti code and other oddities in FP. Instead use FP's version of SSI, Include Pages. This will give you much more control over your borders and result in cleaner HTML.

I already know.

don't talk to me about shared borders in FP. heh. At work, I have to update some asp application with the new company standard top border... there are a lot of pages to update, and I think I'll be lucky if I don't mess up anything. I seriously can't believe a company can settle for frontpage to develop both static/dynamic pages for an intranet. Changing those borders should be as simple as changing a few lines of code... not the nightmare that it is right now...

I have to copy some /_borders folder, then open the pages in a FP...then remake the site navigation diagram so that the site navigation links show up in the new border... and then just hope that FP did not mess up any of the asp, or remove any lines loading some javascript... and then play around with the ****ed up metatags like <meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="ccpg005 010">

but hey, im the intern so.. i get the s#itty tasks nobody wants to do!
