Hi, I have FP2k on XP pro (IIS .NET) and am creating my first aspx site. I
have a slide menu on the pages but can not include it on the pages by either
include code
<!--#include file="menu.htm" --> (I think that was the one I tried) or FP
shared borders. The shared borders works on the htm pages but not the aspx.
It is a real pain using a copy of the menu for each page and trying to
update every single page instead of only the template. I am not very keen on
using frames as this will affect the
performance of the site on search engines.

Thanks, Hope someone can help.
 
Hi Dennis,

Shared Borders and other run-time FrontPage components are not going to work
in ASPX pages. ASPX pages are processed by a different ISAPI than FrontPage
components. As for your include, well that's just not the way you should be
doing ASP.Net. ASP.Net is object-oriented. While server-side includes are
supported by ASP.Net, they are supported mostly for backwards-compatibility
with ASP. You should create User Controls that you can use in your pages for
shared content.

Great, thanks for that. I am not doing the aspx coding myself so will
forward this to my colleague. From what I have seen from .Net so far I am
very impressed and looking forward to FP2003 and its .Net support. I just
find it hard to get around in Dreamweaver which seems to have more to offer
development in .Net and ASP.

FrontPage 2003 will really impress you with its support for ASP.Net. Not to
mention all of the other bells and whistles that it comes with for
developers!
