FP2k making my page's none W3C compliant

[wayne]

Everytime I use FrontPage 2000 to edit my web page, I
have to use a code cleaner to bring my pages back to W3C
compliant.

I have set under "Page options" > "HTML Source"

"Preserve existing HTML" checked (it still changes the

code once the pages are saved!

Is FrontPage 2k none W3C compliant, if so, does FP 2002
compliant?

By compliant do you mean you're using W3C HTML validator? If yes do you declare
any DOCTYPE on top of your page? Do you use HTML 4.0? 4.01? Do you use
transitional or strict model?

More generally the way FrontPage works, i.e. automatically adding attributes to
some tags like IMG aso, is closer to the transitional model. If you want to
comply with the strict model, better use an editor like TopStyle or Notepad. I
personally never trusted automated editors as they always more or less triturate
the code you typed.
