FP2000: Footer shared after web page is created. (Shared borders ?)

[azzi2000]

I am kind of confused.
Is shared border the way to go to create footers ?

(I create a web page with the company address. then I went to shared border and select all, bot
tom.)
Is this it ?
Please advice,
Thank you.

Yes that could be one way. On the selecting all - that is usually all the pages in your web. And then you apply the bottom border.

Shared borders can cause some problems, but if you are new to web design, it is the easiest way to go.

Well you could using a file include. But the way that I am thinking is something called server side includes. You need to be somewhat familiar with HTML:

I do use the bottom shared border for footer info fairly often. I usually go with Include pages for other things, like left navigation or top header info instead of the left and top shared borders so that I have a little more layout control then the shared borders offer.

Other things you could use for footer info are include pages or even the substitution feature. Both of these options would require that the initial substitution or include page be added to each page - where the shared border can be auto added by FP with the shared border dialog box.

Here are a couple tutorials on both of those features:
