Content Area (Zone 8)

WEB SERVICES

Zone 8, the content area, is where you place the information you want to deliver to your visitors. The template design permits this zone to be edited using Microsoft FrontPage 2002 or Dreamweaver MX without affecting the appearance or functionality of the other zones.

Remember that most people spend less than 2 minutes on a Web page, so be concise, factual, and accurate. And use the spell checker that comes with FrontPage or Dreamweaver.

Four important things to remember:

The content area is 472 pixels wide, so no table or graphic should be wider than 472 pixels across. If your page does not use Zone 2B, your content area may be 608 pixels wide. If you need more space, see "Creating Pages with Adjustable Width."
Do not use tables to position graphics. This is not compliant with Section 508 guidelines.
Do not use any font tags to specify font color, size, or face. Text appearance is taken care of automatically by the template and style sheet. You may use Bold, Italics, and Headings level 1 through 4 (<h1> through <h4>) to emphasize text.
You must specify a page name and a profile name in the HTML code on each content page.

Creating Pages with Adjustable Width

By default, the content areas of all pages have a fixed width. To make the page have an adjustable width the following line of code needs to be included in the page:

fixedWidth = false

This line of code should be placed with other variables such as profile, show2b, etc.

Example:

<% option explicit %>


<%
fixedWidth = false
profile = "main"
location2a = "/2a-default-newhome.asp"
show2b = false
showZone6 = false
showZone7 = false
initialExecution
%>
