part, as navigational tools. However, shared borders in FrontPage 2003 come with

some restrictions from previous versions of FrontPage, and you find out all about

them in Chapter 7 for details.

Refer to Chapter 7 for more details on shared borders and their restrictions.

Viewing Your Pages

Even if you have not placed any specific content on individual Web pages, you can

generate many Web elements simply by applying themes and shared borders.

Moreover, if you used a template, such as the Personal Web template, to generate

your pages, you have some comment text and other page elements.

To see how your Web site is shaping up, you can examine it in three ways:

✦ Page view, Design

✦ Page view, HTML Code

✦ Page view, Preview

You can examine any page in Page view by double-clicking that page in the Folder

list or in Navigation view. Page view allows you to edit and view individual Web

pages.

Design

The Design tab in Page view displays Web pages in a manner similar to how they

will appear in a Web browser (see Figure 1-10). The Design tab also displays page

elements that don’t appear in a browser, such as comment text (also referred to as

purple text), dotted lines to demarcate shared borders, and other editing marks.

The Design tab is discussed again shortly, because this is where you edit the con-

tent of Web pages.

Code tab

You can see the HTML code that is generated by FrontPage for your Web page by

clicking the HTML tab in Page view. If you are an HTML coder, feel free to edit the

HTML code in this view. If not, you can simply admire the fact that you generated

all of this code without knowing HTML, or you can study the generated code and

use it to teach yourself some HTML. Figure 1-11 shows the HTML tab of Page view.
