What is a subweb?

0

A subweb is a FrontPage term and is just another Web within the main, or root, web. In particular, the FrontPage search component won’t search outside of a FrontPage web or into subweb, shared borders only work within the subweb, the navigation structure only works within the subweb, and changes to a page only affect the current web. This means that if you are linked to a page in a subweb and change the name of the page in the subweb, the link will be broken. The last is the main reason that I don’t recommend that you link to a page in somebody else’s subweb. You will soon find that Bill calls his file “billhome.htm”, Sue calls hers “WelcomeToMyClass.htm”, and Masahiro wants his to be called “yokoso.htm”. Then once you get the links correct, Bill, Sue, and Masahiro will each rename their pages, then expect you to fix your page. Link only to their subweb without a file name and they become responsible for making sure their webs work.
