Editing Include Pages

Chances are good that your template uses one or more Include Pages. These are normally found in the Includes folder; however, some older templates have the includes within the root web.

An include page is content from one page that is inserted into another page. We frequently use this for navigation links to make it easier to edit and update those links.

The html coding for an include page uses a "web-bot", but this particular bot is a design time feature and does not rely on the FrontPage Server Extensions in order to work. To edit an include page, just open the page like you would any other page.

When you open an include page, you will notice there is no CSS styling applied.

Only the items contained between the body tags of the include page are actually shown in your other pages. This content will take on any styling of the CSS used on the regular page.
