I had a nice website with shared borders that worked
well. I edited the border and placed a new graphic which
replaced an old graphic with hotspots. Everything looks
fine here, but the borders disappear on the server. The
reports section on unlinked files now says that all my
graphics are unlinked. I tried to delete a graphic on the
border and add it back in. That didn't work. How could I
get FrontPage to recognize all my graphics and publish
them on the server as they appear on my screen at home?
Seemingly, the shared borders caused the problem, but
perhaps something else has happened. Thanks!
 
Shared borders and Include Pages are design time tools w/ the content (inside the <BODY> tags) of the Shared Border or Include page
"embedded" or included as html in your pages when you save any of the file(s) using them (or save the borders / include pages
themselves)
- you actually don't need them in a live web (unless you are going to edit the site online in FP)

FP converts your page(s) to a series of tables to include the Shared borders, (which are really just a special case of Include
pages)
But FP can not build those tables if either your shared border page content or main page content has illegal html or broken tag
pairs
- usually due to missing </body></html> tags, or unmatched table / cell tags (unclosed table / cell tags), or some other unclosed
html block element

If you can see them using File Preview in Browser they will publish in as part of your pages

If you can't see them using File Preview in Browser, it's because FP can not build the included content tables, so you need to
validate and correct your broken html
