What's wrong with Frontpage? - GoFuckYourself.com

mkx · 12-20-2004, 03:21 PM

What does everyone here have against front page? I use it because it is easily accessable and I know it very well. It is amazing for quick page creation. The only problems I see with it is it automatically adding Creater: Frontpage meta tags and sometimes the tables go all bizerk. Other than that I like it.

Why do you guys dislike frontpage and what are the best alternatives?

EddiePulp · 12-20-2004, 03:22 PM

I dont dislike it, I just prefer EditPlus

mkx · 12-20-2004, 04:06 PM

Never heard of editplus. How good is it? I tried dreamweaver mx but I think its too advanced

aico · 12-20-2004, 04:25 PM

Because it's made by Microsoft, and it requires extenstions to work. Just another attempt by Microsoft to control things.

It doesn't require extensions.

I know frontpage has some special program where you can create and upload the whole website, I think that might be what your refering to as far as extensions but I never used that. I just use front page to create html files, save them, and upload them with my own ftp.

yea it does - running front page on anyrthing other than a windows server ya gotta have front page extentions installed on the server for it to work.

iwantchixx · 12-20-2004, 09:40 PM

when I need to build something that requires frequent previews I tend to rely on frontpage and just clean up it's code when done.

what are you talking about? frontpage can just be used as a standalone wysiwyg editor and file suplaoded through any ftp server.

Whenever I view a page made with Frontpage it looks like it's full of all kinds of unneeded code. I'd rather use notepad and keep it trimmed down to the neccessities.

bignasty · 12-20-2004, 09:43 PM

actually I don't think anyhting's wrong with it either. I don't always use it, but still use it some. Makes building galleries quicker.

webgurl · 12-20-2004, 09:50 PM

i know how to use frontpage

UniversalPassLorence · 12-20-2004, 09:52 PM

The only problems I see with it is it automatically adding Creater: Frontpage meta tags and sometimes the tables go all bizerk. Other than that I like it.

That is few of the problems among others
