Okay, I'll try to make this as brief as possible. ;-)
I am working on a re-design of our web site. I really would like to have a header (banner, whatever) that remains constant throughout the site which contains the major links. I really want it to also include three small images that are selected randomly from a pool of images. I have set this up--no problem. I have this top section saved as its own page, the photos come up correctly (written in java), etc.
To insert this same page on all my pages, I started out trying to use FrontPage's "included content" feature (Web Component-->Included Content-->Page). This works fine for what I am trying to accomplish but the images don't appear. The "banner" comes up, the links work, etc., but the images have simply disappeared, as if the included content feature won't carry over the javascript.
I tried to change things to "shared borders" and go that route, but found the same thing.
If I do it in frames, it works fine, but I'm not a big fan of frames and really don't want the banner stuck at the top if you scroll down on the main page. (Does that make sense?)
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you who actually knew what you were doing (I don't) might have any ideas, because I am fresh out. As background, I have a little web background (more than the average Joe but way, way less than a real web developer), have FrontPage 2002, working on an XP Professional PC. I don't have access to Dreamweaver or Cold Fusion (of have the knowledge to use either of them). I do have Go Live, but haven't gotten past just starting the program, so that's probably not an option.
Am I stuck, or is there a way to include java in this included content or another way to do this with FrontPage that I am not thinking of?
Thanks in advance for any help! It's GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
David
