Chris,
The moving of the link to the bottom of "head" doesn't
work since FrontPage seems to rearrange the code
regardless what I try to do (Murray's suggestion); Meta
names "Theme and Border" are always moved to the bottom!
Regarding your suggestion: How do I "class or ID" code
that isn't in the page? Shared borders are defined in
meta names="Microsoft Border", they are dynamically loaded
and as far as I can judge not in the code of the page I
wish to print.
