Editing Shared Borders
What do you do when you want to put a JavaScript in a shared border?
You will have to include the "head" section of the
javascript into the head of each page that has that shared border.
Things you can not do:
-
Give shared borders shared borders.
-
Apply a JavaScript to your shared borders by putting the
"head" script only in the top shared border.
-
Apply a separate theme to the shared borders.
-
Apply different shared borders to different pages.

How do I Do It?
It's not a matter of working with the shared border as much as
it is accessing that shared border.
Go to your web, not through FP, but just navigate to its' home
on your hard drive, zip, or wherever you keep it.
Open the folder, open the _borders folder. Then right click on
the border you want to edit. Choose edit. It will open up all by itself in FP.
Don't get excited when you see FP open, that's what you want.
Give it a second or two to get itself ready for you to work with
it.
Now treat it as if it were any other page. But remember, when
you make these changes, it will be on every page in your web that uses that
shared border.
Close FP, saving your changes. Then open the web. Your new
shared borders will be there.
Remember, if you add javascript to
a shared border, you must still put the <head> portion of the script
on every page you want the javascript to be functional. This sounds like a
lot of work, but if you need to update that script, you only need to do it
once. (As in adding extra links to a drop down.)
