Like many M$ tools, FrontPage assumes that it is smarter than you are and puts non-standard items into your code. However, it is possible to disable that behavior and hand-edit your code as desired. Still, it rates a C-minus at best... a slight improvement over notepad. I admit being lazy and using FP (after disabling the "rubbish" features) for my personal web coding only because it came "free" with M$Office and the intellisense feature comes in handy. However, I have been considering upgrading my old copy of UltraDev to the latest DreamWeaver. Rumor has it M$ will be creating a new FrontPage that incorporates functionality from the old InterDev tool and perhaps some of the .NET Enterprise IDE functionality. I get M$ products free with my company-paid MSDN so I might take a peek at it, but only for home use -- never for my clients. -- Dwacon www.dwacon.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
