Shared borders problems

[Susan]

Okay I put my text and hyperlinks for my left shared
border into a table and everything seems looks great-- it
lines up and I was able to make the table and cell borders
invisible. I have Windows ME, FrontPage 2002.

I cannot do the same with my bottom border. I set up the
tables fine but I cannot get my table and cell borders to
dissapear. It borders are erratic looking-- some I got to
dissapear others are a visible yellow. I fooled with this
last night for maybe an hour. It looks like a rat's maze.
It is just the borders that are problems, text and links
work fine.

Do I need to apply fixes or patches? I go to the Office
updates and run the scan and no updates are found.

I am posting this new post because I cannot find my
original post to reply to which was this week. Can't
figure that one out. For web-based post the Search does
not work and no posts of mine show up, but using Outlook I
cannot find my original post anymore but only the reply.

Thanks for any information.

Susan

I had to go into each individual cell and set the border
color to that of the background to get my cell borders for
my table in my bottom shared borders to look invisible.
This is a little obvious on my leftmost cells which
intersect a graded blue left margin due to the blends
theme. Oh well, it is better than it was! There must be an
easier way than doing each individual cell but I have
missed it! I did not have to do this on the left shared
border. Que sera, sera!

Select your table and cells and set the spacing to zero and all color
settings to Automatic

I can set the automatic but the table border defaults to
the color of the square by the automatic setting. If I set
the spacing to zero and automatic, I get a black border
around the table. If I set the spacing to 1 and the color
to white, I have a thin white border. If I set the spacing
to 0 and color to white, I get a thicker white border.
This does not seem to be logical but it is what happens to
me.

Do you have the page or pages available on the internet where someone can
take a look?

You can view it at www.easternshoreartcenter.com. My left
shared border is fine. I am referring to the bottom shared
border. The server does not have FrontPage 2002 extensions
but 2000.

Susan,

You have 2 problem that I can see right away looking at your source:

1. All of your hyperlink point to file location on your HD, this is
generally a indication that you do not have a web open when working on your
pages.

2. Your table has inline style tags applied which is controlling the border
colors. You need to remove all of the inline style tag, in HTML view.

Example:

This is what you have:

<table border="1" cellspacing="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse; border-style: solid; border-color:
#FFFFFF"
width="789" id="AutoNumber1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" height="111"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="127" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" height="31" style="border-color:
#FFFFFF"><a href="index.htm">Home</a></td>
<td width="185" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" height="31" style="border-color:
#FFFFFF"><a href="Academy.htm">Academy</a>&nbsp;</td>
<td width="139" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" height="31" style="border-color:
#FFFFFF"><a href="exhibits.htm">Exhibits</a></td>
<td width="188" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" height="31" style="border-color:
#FFFFFF"><a href="publicart.htm">Committee For Public Art</a></td>
<td width="144" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" height="31" style="border-color:
#FFFFFF">&nbsp;<a
href="esac_spring_studio_schedule_2003.htm">Classes</a></td>
</tr>
.
.
.

</table>

This is what you want to have:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="127" height="30"><a href="index.htm">Home</a></td>
<td width="185" height="30"><a href="Academy.htm">Academy</a></td>
<td width="139" height="30"><a href="exhibits.htm">Exhibits</a></td>
<td width="188" height="30"><a href="publicart.htm">Committee For Public
Art</a></td>
<td width="144" height="30"><a
href="esac_spring_studio_schedule_2003.htm">Classes</a></td>
</tr>
.
.
.
</table>

Thank you so much for your time. Please explain what you mean about not
having a web open. I work within FrontPage 2002 on my computer which has
Windows ME. I then Publish to the www website. How do I avoid problem 1.
unless you mean work live on www.easternshoreartcenter.com? Does this have
anything to do with having a server like with Windows XP Professional on the
computer?

I will remove the tags but I am not sure about how to avoid doing this
again. Where did I go wrong to get these tags in there to begin with? I
realize that you may not be able to answer this one because sometimes I do
not remember what steps I went through trying to get from point A to to
point F and how can I expect someone else to know what I did?

Thanks very much,
Susan

No. When you open FP, you need to do File Menu | Open Web and then open the
folder holding your local web.

However FP does give you the ability to work directly on your web at your
host, if the host has the FP extensions installed.

Usually the tag are generated when you select any of the options to change
how the border of a table or cell appears.

Thank you very much. I got problem 1 straightened out and
I got problem 2 straightened out. Thank MS for "Find and
Replace"! I really don't know how I managed to mess that
up because I generally always do the below!

Please tell me how you detected the pointing to my HD so
fast. I did not see it of course. You found it in the HTML
code. Were there apparent errors to someone else viewing
the website? I mean if it is pointing to my HD, what
happens? Thanks again for all your help!

Susan

Susan,

I just spotted "file://" when I first opened your source. A user would see a
page not found or if a image, the box with a red X, however you would see
everything as being correct.
