FrontPage Include Bot

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 18:03:07 GMT

We recently tested the Microsoft FrontPage include bot for use with our eNetSC.com web site.

The Microsoft FrontPage include bot is a very helpful tool for webmasters. If you have content (data or images) that will be included on all your web pages, you can set up an include bot to quickly and easily make a change to your web site without having to update each web page separately.

For example, you may have a corporate icon on your web site. If you want to change it, you simply change the page that is referenced in your include bot and your web pages will be simultaneously updated.

First, create a page and place the content to be included in the <body> of the HTML code. Then, select the location on a web page where you want that content to be included. Using the Insert option, select "Web Component, "Included Content," "Page," and either manually enter the relative URL of the page you created or browse to select the page.

The syntax for the include bot is  and it will appear in the HTML code on your web page after you use the Insert option. (Experienced webmasters can just copy the include bot code into the web page HTML code.) However, when you save the web page and view its source via your browser, you will be able to see the code from the page referenced in your include bot.

The include bot specifies "BODY" in its tag but an include bot would specify "HEAD" in its tag if the included content (external style sheets, JavaScript code, etc.) is to be included within the HTML <head> code.
