More CSS in FrontPage 2003?

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

Your post puzzles me.

On the one hand you are slamming FP because it doesn't use CSS (but it
does), and on the other hand you are slamming DW because it uses too much
CSS (but it doesn't).
I am used to "clean" coding
Click to expand...

It's not the tool, it's the operator that produces this. I can code complex
pages in either FP or DW, and you would not be able to tell the difference.
These pages would validate both for HTML and CSS.

If you want to use CSS with your pages, please learn how to do it. There is
nothing in FP that prevents you from doing that.

No I am not slamming DW it's CSS is perfect and I never said it uses too
much! I am say FrontPage is better, but not everyone would agree.

There is nothing in FP that would prevent you from using CSS the same way
you might in DW. It's just a different interface.
