Can a style sheet "replace" MS FP's Shared Borders feature? I have a very
large website with subsites edited by other users (teachers in a school). I
want to keep the "Shared Borders" advantages of having a common theme with
top, left and bottom the same on every page but I know that CSS is the more
acceptable way to go. How would you go about setting up a "shared borders"
type of site using an external Style Sheet? thanks.
 
CSS is about how content is *displayed*, not the content itself.
Shared borders are about the content around the edges of the page.

CSS can replace the *theme* used in a FrontPage website but cannot replace
a shared border. FP2003 uses CSS to render themes, and FP2000/2002 have
that as an option.

You can (probably should) replace the shared borders with a Dynamic Web
Template (DWT), which can be thought of as a flexible shared border, and
then use CSS to provide a common theme for the pages (colours, backgrounds,
fonts etc.).

For more information regarding CSS go to http://www.w3schools.com
 
I'm using DWT on another website that I'm creating using FP2003. however, my
school only has the license for FP2002 which does not have support for DWT
(that I can find). Thanks for the info.
