Microsoft FrontPage 2003 help

Feb 1, 2006 5:37AM PST

Hi, I'm using Frontpage to build a website.
The website is boys and girls baseball and softball.
1. The home page will say high school baseball.
2. This page will feature the boys baseball team
3. One of the tags on the right hand side will say girls softball. (Example: home, team, games, girls softball exc
4. I have made pages for all of the above.

The problem I'm having:
When I go to the girls softball page and change the girls softball tag on the right hand side of the page to boys baseball, All of the pages tags change to boys baseball. I would like the this tag to be universal. How can I do this this.
Do I have to develop a entire new website for the girls, than add the tag? Or all different tags on the girls home page?
I do not have this uploaded to a web site yet, however the information is on my computer
All advice is greatly appreciated

Well, let me ask you this...

How did you create your tags... which I'm assuming you are referring to links, right? There are two options available in FrontPage.

(1) Shared Borders
This means that on EVERY page you have the same links. You change the link on ONE page, it changes them on all. So to solve your problem, you could have a HOMEPAGE and then a GIRLS link and a BOYS link... on each page a header, telling the user on which page they are. That would be a simple way, because all pages would contain all links.

(2) Include Files
This is a little more tricky. Include files are basically seperate pages that you can include in a current page. So you make a page with only links on it. One the girls page you design a link page that referrs to the boys page and vise versa. The thing about that is that you always have to change two link pages when you're adding/updating the link- if that makes any sense. Of course you could be creative and get around the changing of two pages. If you're interested in that, I can explain it in detail.

To further assist you, are you using one of those options currently?
