Hello,

I've been using FrontPage for many years. I purchased Dreamweaver MX several years ago and never used it. My main reason is I'm not sure if Dreamweaver has top and bottom borders like FrontPage. Does anyone know if it does and what they are called in Dreamweaver?

Thanks in advance,
MonaE

what exactly do you mean top and bottom borders? Do you mean in the html document itself, in the program? what?

FrontPage has a feature called Shared Borders. One file is called top.htm and one bottom.htm. Anything put in the top.htm file will display at the top of all files that have the code (<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tb, default">) and the same with the bottom file, placing it on the bottom of all pages. So if I have 20 pages with the code, I only have to change the top.htm or bottom.htm file and it will automatically change on all 20 pages. I was wondering if Dreamweaver had something similar.

Thanks,
MonaE

I don't believe that Dreamweaver has that, no. Should be easy to just cut and paste the code in? Overall, you should stay away from front page if possible.

Yes I just did a Dreamweaver search in the help menu and in Google and came up with nothing related to such a thing in DW. Dreamweaver does have a function under the Assets panel called a library which you can use to create information to put on each page. You could also use PHP includes to do such a thing by creating a header and footer file and then including them on each page.

Hope that helps,

Just make a template of your website that includes the header and footer in it, then you can use that template to make all your pages from.
