Is there a Microsoft "Front Page" for Windows 7?

[mick]

<snip>

That being said, I know of an absolutely FANTASTIC, basically
drag and drop, learn it in 20 minutes, web site construction
application which comes in a "more than enough" free version,
and a cheap (considering) full mind-blowing version. I found it
accidentally.

It is quite recent so I would be amazed if it didn't work on
Win7.

I am trying to remember its name, if I find it I'll post.

Thanks, I'm going to check out the Dreamweaver too, to see how hard it
is.[/QUOTE]

Have a look at Serif WebPlus
http://www.serif.com/webplus/
Don't buy it from the website, phone their sales and negotiate a price
of 60 to 70% off.
There is a free starter edition available at

All these posts and none relate to the question asked (is there a win 7 FP
app?). All the wasted ether by the ether-wasters.

There is no version of Front Page produced specifically for Windows 7.
The 2003 version works OK in Windows 7.

The main problem here is that most service providers are discontinuing
the Front Page Extinctions and no matter what version one has, their
server will quit supporting it, soon. My Yahoo/SWBell server sent me a
notice to this effect a few weeks ago. Gordon

That's true but for people who write all the lot themselves and have
no dependence or extensions, Front Page works fine. It's often just as
easy to write the code with Notepad

YW.

Did you get the follow-up?:

I can't believe I found it, considering there's only about 3
thousand web site programs.

It has dozens of 5-star awards from a variety of software sites.

There's an older version which is free - it may or may not run
on 7.

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dheeditor.html
They say it does run on "Win (All)".

License - Freeware
Windows 32/64-bit - Win (All)
Requirements - None

An here's the paid version.
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dhesiteeditor.html

Here's the actual site where you can get ether version.
http://www.dynamic-html-editor.com

The current version is 5.9:
Dynamic HTML Editor (free 30 days trial version)
..:License: shareware 49.90 eur (~65 US $) (for single user)
..:Languages: multilanguage
..:OS: Windows (all versions)

IOW, if you make the site in less than 30 days (or know how to
mess with the registry), you don't have to buy it ;-)

It's long dead and buried; FP2003 was the last version.

And thank god for that, it produced awful HTML (Word seems to have taken
over that crown).

You mean you didn't appreciate &NBSP?

Do you mean the non-braking space itself, or do mean that it appears
without the semicolon?

I use &nbsp; intentionally on occasion...

I think he meant that it tends to produce vast heaps with just an nbsp
(& and ; omitted to prevent rendering) in the middle of them - this sort
of thing:
DIV DIV DIV FONT STYLE nbsp /STYLE /FONT /DIV /DIV /DIV
except with all the <> in of course, and all the guff that goes with
FONT and STYLE (and often DIV).

I don't know if it's FP, but I've seen a lot of automatically-generated
code - mainly in emails - that even has three or four levels of nested
tables, for no reason at all that I can see. Basically, I don't think
there are many autogenerated code creators out there that can avoid
vastly excessive code; the ones that show you the source code they're
generating in a lower window (I _think_ Netscape used to do this) are
better, but still a _bit_ on the excessive side.

(I don't think the standards committee are totally blameless either: for
example, I have never understood why the CENTER tag is "deprecated",
with something much more long-winded being recommended instead.)

There's the clue to my ignorance

I use an HTML editor that is essentially a text editor with a preview
button and some keys to present skeletons of items such as tables and
links, so I really don't have knowledge of automatic HTML generation. I
don't quite think in a way appropriate to the question, so I probably
shouldn't have replied to the OP ;-)

can you betray the name of this app without suffering serious harm to
life and limb?

Impossible!

OK, that's a fair question

Currently Coffee Cup HTML Editor (free version).

I was concerned with pointing out my lack of qualification for the
original question, not about which HTML program I use...

yes, I understand - and I'm glad disclosure poses you no danger. I was
just wondering what the program was for the sake of my information.
thanks.

You're quite welcome - I was just taking an opportunity to joke around.

Come to think of it, my last sentence above amounts to a weak excuse,
now that I reread it

And really, your question was fair - I wasn't joking about that.

BTW, I used to use 1st Page, also the free version, but its free version
was, AFAICT, not being updated any more, so a few months ago I switched
to Coffee Cup (also, in part, just to try something new).

Neither one provides WYSIWIG in the free version, but both provide a
convenient preview panel.

Even good txt editors (like UltraEdit [a little overpriced IMO
but I am not smart enough to use all it offers], and
NoteTabLight [free] just to name 2) provide a wealth of html
tags, and UE even has an 'html tidy' function. They also have a
"preview in your browser" function.

FWIW, I recall reading in /just a few too many/ places that
CoffeeCup products were "not to be trusted" (quality, spyware,
etc) - that may have changed, but FYI. It was quite a popular
company years ago but yours is the first post I've seen in a
LONG time that mentions them.

Only just joined this group, so my comments may not be on target, but if you
want an affordable web-design application you could do a lot worse than try
Serif's WebPlus. I have to say I haven't used it myself (sticking with
Dreamweaver), but I do use several of their other applications, which are
excellent at any price.
http://www.serif.com/AllProducts/Software/WebDesign/
There are also free "starter editions", including WebPlus:
http://www.serif.com/FreeDownloads/

Microsoft's replacement for FrontPage (which looks more eccentric every time
I wheel it out to update an old site) is Expression Web, which seems pretty
good from my toying with it.

I understand "Composer" (part of Seamonkey) is also a good free option:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/features#composer
... as is Komposer:
http://www.kompozer.net/

Web standards have evolved rapidly over the last few years, so it's quite
important to use a recent tool.

HTH?

Heh - I'm still using Hot Metal Pro!
