MS Frontpage

[Keeper]

nope - just check on my website - nothing like that.

Seems to be only this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

....but i just scanned through quickly - the rest looks like my own code.

BTW that looks like it came from WORD somehow, not FP 2003.

<meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document>
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 11">
<meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 11">

2003 cleaned up its act, and stopped changing your code in the background.

Microsoft FrontPage has since been replaced by Microsoft Expression Web and Sharepoint Designer, which were released in December 2006. [WikiPedia]

It's not the best idea to use outdated software to make standards-based websites. Just a thought.

FWIW: Wikipedia has a comparison of web editors...

Frontpage has been replaced with Expression web. There is a free version available from download from microsoft. Suggest you give it a whirl.

Not free - trial. You might take a look at Web Developer Express though - it does a fair job at web design too, and is free. As in beer.

I know that, I was just asking if it was still like this because I remember it used to create horrific HTML.

As for the "somehow" from word File->Save As, Select "Save As Type" -> Web Page. This is how Outlook 2003 encodes HTML emails, it's great!

Ahh... *much* better. Probably the best suggestion in this whole thread so far. You get the convenience of WYSIWYG and the power of a (stripped down) IDE. BTW, does VWDE offer intellisense? I only ever work on "full" versions of Visual Studio...

Yes. The only possible caveats are that you can't load a project reference. Duh. For simple projects this is a non-issue.

Exactly what I was on about.

The problem with that is fot the offline install you have to download the entire ISO which is about 750MB!

I found this brilliant link How to offline install Visual Studio Express without download the whole image file

Works brilliantly and I downloaded Visual Web Developer Express 2008 (it's 54MB)

 

[FarligOpptreden]

So... Conclusion to the thread? Get yourself Visual Web Developer Express 2008.

that and, you are either developing correctly or wrongly.

I downloaded the ISO - it includes SQL Server Express and documentation. Took about 2 days over my 64kb throttled iBurst link.

A Web Developer using iBurst.... lol.

Yeah, go figure. As you can imagine, I have a solid offline setup.
