I published a new web (still under construction) and it looks fine locally
and on the web in FP2000, but the navigation bars in the shared borders are
missing when viewed in IE5.

Any guru's able to help this novice?

!!?

Delete that page and start over. You have so many errors in it that every
character and every element needs to be modified.

1) dont use the space bar for layout, use tables or just center text using
alignment tools

2) why are you spending time adding animated gifs to a file to tell me a web
site is not done? it's pretty obvious it isnt, just build it, don't waste
time telling people you are building it

3) you have NO HTML tags, so IE is not even being told what language it is

4) you have NO body tags, body tags (aside from being a fundamental
requirement for HTML) are what FP uses to start and stop shared borders,
since you have none, you have no shared borders.

5) all of the errors above are something you did, not what FrontPage did.
You should stay out of the HTML view for a while until you get more
practice.

Because they're cute?

Shouldn't FP do this automatically?

How come it looks great in FP, and they appear to be there, but upon
publishing, they are gone?

Thanks for the input. Interestingly, this was the product of applying a
THEME to a site I had only a few items created. FP must have used the
SPACEBAR SPACES - I used CENTER only - anything else must have been
auto-converted. I did not screw around with the HTML, because I don't know
what I'm doing <g> (Obviously)

Thanks for your input. I will go back to the drawing board, start with a
fresh theme, THEN start adding stuff. I bet adding the stuff first, then
applying the THEME (actually tried a few before deciding on one)

Thanks, Rick

Here's some suggestions:

Use the "Web Creation Wizard" to make a basic web site with a theme. (File
New > Web, choose a wizard and go) Then you will have several pages, a

navigation view, shared borders and a theme.

Next, proceed to modify the theme (or apply one you have purchased or
whatever) and the files to add text and pictures.

Once you have done all that, you should have some basic frontpage files you
can use to start making more (File > Save As [rename])

[After a while, you will find the wizard is not going to suit your needs,
but it will get a simple web site up and running in a matter of minutes.
You can modify the site from there.]

In general, you should see in the HTML view something like this (very
simplified) example.

<html>
<head>
<title>Title goes here</title>
<meta SomeFrontpage Stuff>

<body>

[Contents of your page goes here]

</body>
</html>

You may want to check (just look, don't edit) in the HTML view to see where
in the process it goes wrong again (if it does).

You first file looked like it was self-inflicted damage, so you should
change tactics if you are not getting the results you want.
