Borders?
Does anyone have advice on borders? I am in the process of switch from frames to borders. They seem convenient, but...rather sneaky.
Do most sites use borders?
Comments?

I'll just think that borders is geek talk for tables
It's always good to get away from frames for profesional sites - nothing sneeky about it, and search engines really don't like frames.

Goldfiles, you might want to re-phrase your question, as no one has the slightest clue of what you're referring to.
I know what borders are, but I'm not sure why you're asking whether you should replace your framsets with borders?
Did you choose to use frames to have the scroller bars act as some sort of content divider?

Use a 1 pixel thick image. Put a table within a table to acheive this...

wow!
I don't think I need to rephrase it! But I will explain. I am not referring to tables. Borders are found withing dreamweaver and front page (possibly other web site making programs). Borders allow you to edit the top or side navigation on EVERY page by only making changes once!
Saves time. and allows for a nice layout. Check it out in Front Page. Go to Format then to Shared Borders.
I am very dissapointed.....You call yourselves webmasters....what a shame....

Some of the people here are webmasters, not psychics, able to guess exactly what you meant.
Besides, not everyone uses the same programs. And last time I checked, Notepad certainly didn't have a "Borders" feature.
I think maybe what you want to use is SSI? It doesn't seem that complicated if your web host supports it. There are tons of tutorials on that topic on the net.~Aralanthiriel

Real webmasters code in notepad. Or vi.
Notepad and vi *don't do 'borders'*.

It's a shame that you are so inconsiderate to those only trying to assit you.
Anyways, it'd be best to use either SSI or the PHP include component.

Look up Server Side Includes as one possible technique. Surf the Apache web site, assuming you use Apache.
