1. Frontpage 98 and Dreamweaver are not compatible in somewhere. When
I do this project, I modified the HTML source code by Dreamweaver, and transfer to
Frontpage 98, but Frontpage has difficulty to understand the Javascript which generated by
Dreamweaver, so Frontpage will change the HTML source code by itself, then you can't get
the right output. the way to sovle it is make sure you already you finished your work in
Frongpage, then modeify by Dreamweaver, and use Dreamweaver submit the source code, don't
use Frontpage modify it any more.
2. I have noticed that some early browsers can't display the
pages which generated by Frontpage or Dreamweaver properly. I met a problem that the pages
which contain break lines dispaly some strange characters in Netscape 4.08 and Netscape
4.5, In Netscape 4.61 and Explorer 4.0 or Explorer 5.0 have not this problem. The
reason for that is because when the Frontpage adds a blank line, it uses "
<p> </p>". there is a control character between <p> and
</p> which I can't print it out, seems it's a control character of XML or HTML
4.0, I think it's because in the early browser, they can't fully support HTML 4.0 or
XML ( I am not sure if this's correct ). To solve this problem, just replace that control
character by <br>.
In order to show the effect of above words, I didn't correct the source code in next
line, so if you are using Netscape 4.08 or Netscape 4.5, you will see a strange character
like "@" or "[]" and these strange characters suppose won't display in
IE 4.0 or Netscape 4.61.
3. Theme sometimes is good for ccontrol all the documents. but it
also taught me a lesson when doing this project. I use Dreamweaver to modify the pages
banner which managed by Frontpage's theme, when I copied it into Frontpage after modified,
(it displays well under Dreamweaver, but not correct in Frontpage ) Frontpage updated all
the dependent files with that wrong documents banner, then I have to correct all the pages
one by one, and some data also lost....
I suggest that back up all the data if you are going to use other Editor to modify your
pages. And sometimes make a Frame sets to control the banner is better than controled by
theme.
