Make FrontPage 2003 use much more CSS!!!

A

Amarjeet

Hello,

I have just recently bought FrontPage 2003, for quite a high amount of
money. Well for me anyway, and realised that it doesn't use a lot of
recommended CSS instead it uses deprecated attributes of HTML. Such as the
<font> tag and the <body link="#FF00FF" vlink="#800080" alink="#000080"
text="#800000" bgcolor="#000000"> when it could have use the CSS which is
recommended by W3C. I still think Dreamweaver MX 2004 is still not as good as
FrontPage 2003 but it uses much more CSS! I am used to "clean" coding,
because after what I have read from the W3C that is what I started using. Now
every single time FrontPage 2003 uses the "horrible" code I have to use
TopStyle Pro v3.10 to convert it to CSS. Even the Microsoft site has changed
it's homepage to use more CSS. So why can't you do the same with FrontPage
2003? This is also a reason why FrontPage 2003 loses many users. I am sure
many other users would feel the same about this matter, and that I am not the
only one. Please could you create an update FrontPage 2003 so it has much
more CSS support and a number of new features? Let’s call this update Service
Pack 2 for FrontPage 2003. Or at the minimum put it in the new version, but I
think it would benefit much more on the current version! Thank you very much!

Kind Regards,
Amarjeet Singh Rai

FP does not add any html formatting
- the user does by using the html formatting tags instead of a style sheet
