What is a WebBot?
WebBots are the mechanism for invoking many of the interactive features built into Microsoft FrontPage. These features are added to your site through the FrontPage Editor | Insert WebBot component Some, such as ”Include” and ”Substitution” allow elements of your site to be entered once and included in any or all of the pages by inserting the Bot component referencing that element (e.g., a logo or navigation bar). Changes made to the ‘master’ element are made automatically to any page containing the referencing Bot. Other Bots, such as Search, Table of Contents and Timestamp, control dynamic browse-time features. These Bots work behind the scenes to keep your site up-to-date for visitors.
