[quote]Even an old version of frontpage express 2.0.2.118 from 1995 has the ability to assign an image to a cell background... so what version of html is it?[/quote] FrontPage is the most broke commercial HTML editor available. The further back in time you go the worse it is. I have heard rumor that newer versions are a bit better, but since it has such a poor history I was not about to try it. The next issue is that web standards are just now coming into their own. This is "cutting edge" stuff in web design, and there is a huge community based push for it, i.e. web designers and developers. Standards were not followed back in the day all the different browsers did things their own way, and that is still found today. The way that you get the people who manufacture the popular browsers (i.e. Microsoft) is to design all pages using standards, this forces them to accept that the trend is away from proprietary code and towards the standards. This forces them to make their browser's standard compliant. Next. Modern browsers have a mode call "quirks." If your web page does not have a correct doctype your page is rendered in quirks mode which accepts a whole lot of garbage code. This is good for keeping with rendering older pages, but also allows developers to think that their code is "correct" when it is really broken. The browser simply says, yep it is broken, but I will try to work with it anyways. So standards are important. Learning to write code by hand in a text editor is also important. Choosing a good WYSIWYG editor is important. If you want to use a good WYSIWYG editor try DreamWeaver it is very good. I even used it at one of my jobs and I didn't hate it. I would much rather editplus2 but you use what you have or like to the best of your ability. Older version of frontpage pre 2002 are all really really bad at writing code. Stay away from this like the plague! Hope this answered your second questions. [url=http://www.codetown.org] [img]http://www.codetown.org/img/sig/robot_002.gif[/img] [/url] Loading...
