Isn't it obvious that Intellisense

Please define "doesn't work consistently".

In my experience, teh Intellisense in FP2003 does work
consistently. It doesn't work in as many circumstances as
the Intellisense in Visual Studio, but it's sure better
than remembering and coding everything by hand.

Also, please define "cannot be trusted". You can always
make a wrong choice, and because of that you always have
to check your code.

The issue that I found that resulted in this post is it looks like FrontPage
2003 has a limit on how long a string can be used for attributes of HTML
elements. For example I needed a onmouseover event for an <applet. The
onmouseover string was quite long but not unusual. Anyway the intellisense
quit working after I'd say around 256 characters. Not sure exactly. In any
case I transferred the exact statement to a JavaScript function and it
pasted in full intellisense.

Thus I'd have to say that FrontPage 2003 has a limit on how long strings can
be, before intellisense bites the dust.

Intellisense is the feature that displays a pop-up list of attribute
names when you type a lead-in character, such as a space inside an
<applet> tag or a period in JavaScript code. I'm not aware of any
attribute names 256 or so characters long, so your statements still
confuse me.

Can you describe a series of steps that will reproduce the error?
