FrontPage behaviors and layers
I have been meaning to update this section so here goes.
Consider the previous example where we had a home page and some child pages. As a navigation system for a basic site it fits the bill but what to do when things get more complicated.
Consider a B&B in France looking to attract a wide audience from all over the world! The B&B wants to offer a web site in multiple languages. How do you set up the navigation structure in Microsoft front page?
As you can see from the graphic, we have a home page that has children that have children!
Each country start page is specified on the 1st set of children. It's children then become the contents of Its parent. If you need more pages on this level just drag them to where you want them in the structure. The screenshot shows England with 2 content pages whilst the other pages only have one.
Once you have inserted the front page navigation component on your pages you need to double click each one in design view. This will bring up the front page navigation bar properties window.
So... The home page navigation bar will point to child pages.
Child pages (Countries) will point to child pages and home page.
Grandchild! pages (Countries content) will point to Same level and Parent Level.
If you wanted to link to each country via a flag image or picture, you hyperlink the picture to the country page preferably using a shared border or page include, built into a standard template. This will dramatically reduce build time.
That's it.
