Working with Frontpage Includes
Monday, October 08, 2007
Frontpage Includes are one of the very few features in FrontPage in which FrontPage handles by itself - without the need for FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). As you can seen from the screen captures, even any changes made by the Include file are automatically updated locally. It seems that you do not need to re-save the files, but you will need to re-publish all the files since the files have been changed locally.To add a page in Frontpage, go to Tools - Web Component. Now choose Page and hit Next. Hit the browse button and locate the page you would like to include. Unlike using server side includes, a FrontPage Included file must be a complete page (having a html, head, and body elements). Frontpage will handle the includes code as necessary.
The biggest difference with using Frontpage Includes and Server Side Includes, you will need to publish all pages that have the included content. With a Server Side Include, you only need to publish one page.
