Fixed page width for a site including shared border

[Guest]

Allow fixed page width including shared borders. This would include the
following;
1 Fix the page width center or left margin while including borders
2 Allow the shared borders to be fixed width.
3 Allow table widths to be fixed and not be pushed out by internal tables.

Table width issue is not a Microsoft issue!

HTML tables/cells width will always expand based on the insertion of any non-wrappable content.

Shared Borders are implemented as tables.

Uhmm...

Table or page width has NOTHING to do with Microsoft...

Shared Borders are deprecated in FP2003, and replaced with Dynamic Web
Templates, which allow all three of your points, EXCEPT: table and
cell widths are minimums, and will always expand to fit the content.

No, the actual code for that isn't microsofts problem, but the way in which
it handles the shared borders, and the page width they sure can. Repeatedly,
sites have a fixed width, but when we use shared borders, it won't stay
within those confines.
I know and use the alternative, but if MS could allow the placement of
shared borders and set their margins to keep them in a fixed width (or the
left border against the right side of the main table) that work fine and is
well within the capabilities of MS.
Instead of you cynical elder statesmen waiting to tell people they don't
know what they are talking about in your little condensending type, try
finding out what is really going on.

I know for a FACT, that all this can be done. I can code it for most every
language there is. Now We just need MS to include this in how it handles
shared borders.
Many...no most experienced frontpage users in ALL the forums don't use
shared borders just for this reason.
You are wrong.... Plain and simple.

That is why MS give the you the option to use Include Page which offer more flexibility then shared
borders.
