Re: FrontPage

[Doris Munson <doris.munson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used both FrontPage and DreamWeaver.  Given a choice, I would take DreamWeaver any day.  FrontPage throws in all sorts of extra code that is meant for a FrontPage server.  My experience has been that if you make
even minor pages outside of FrontPage, your web pages may not behave correctly.  I haven't had this problem with DreamWeaver.

Last year, I had to switch over seventy pages from FrontPage to DreamWeaver.  The two programs don't like to play together and don't like to read code written in the other program.
