Frontpage 2002 and exts.

I don't have Frontpage, but I was wondering if basic webpages created with
it could be published to a host without having Frontpage extentions turned
on?

Yes, you can create your web locally and FTP your files
to the host server, just as you would in any web
authoring program.

I have many clients running unix, apache, etc.. and I
have never had an issue. You need to make absolutely
sure, that you do not use certain componets that require
FP extensions. For example you can use FP to design your
form, but not to process it. You would need to use a
cgi / script or whatever method your host supports, but
that is the same for all WYSIWYG editors and very easy to
implement.

Hope it helps

Yes, but you just can't use the features of Frontpage like forms, and so on.

It'll be nothing more than a layout and code-generator tool.

You'll need third party equivalents of the form handlers, search scripts and
whatever else frontpage offers, you can find elsewhere. For every feature it
has, you can get a thirdparty product to do the same thing, so no, Frontpage
Extensions aren't necessary.

Note: you can't "publish" through Frontpage if the server extensions aren't
installed; you need to FTP manually as normal to your host.
