Re: Automatically Generating Page names

Hi Terrence

Welcome to the forum. :-) It usually helps if you can provide a URL so 
people can see what you're talking about. Or, if you haven't published 
your site yet, you could post a screen capture as an example.

First, the reason you're seeing the text box on every page is that 
you've included it in the MasterBorder area. To keep it page-specific, 
you need to put it in the Layout area. See the attached screen grab. The 
gray rectangles on the rulers determine the size of the MasterBorder areas.

As for the Banner, it's meant for page titles, not site title. To put 
the site name on every page, make an image of the site name in a 
graphics app and put it in the MasterBorder where you want to go. 
Technically, you could use a text box, but then the way it looks will 
vary according to the visitor's browser.

(Sorry, I can't add highlights and arrows to the attached until I 
reinstall my graphics app. I'm in the middle of an upgrade.)

Hi, I am new to Net Objects and I am having difficulty finding a way to keep 
the Site name constant in the Banner as well as finding an automatic header 
that will sit below the banner and show the page name automatically.  I note 
that the default is for the name in the Banner to change to whatever page 
it's on.  I have overridden that by unchecking the "use for banner
title" 
box in properties, but I can't see how to generate a separate header below 
it that automatically uses the current page name.  I have tried putting in a 
text box with a user-generated field for the page name, but for some reason, 
this text box then appears on every page on the site.  Help!

Thanks,
Terrence 

Many thanks Allison, that was very useful information.

Regards,

Terrence
